Bestrong, I didn't think I needed a laparoscopy but I am glad they did as they found severe endometrosis and a very infected left tube which they removed, I had no symptoms at all. They believe that this procedure will now improve my chances conceiving via ivf. Recovery can vary between people, I had mine4 weeks ago and I am ok but still just taking it easy. I think as far as staring another cycle goes, it will depend on when your cycle gets back to normal, after my first lap, I missed a month altogether, after this second one, I am now one week late already. But I think it is all worth the wait if I have a better chance now to conceive. I don't mean to scare you as they may find nothing wrong at all but at least then you will know.
