    I agree with everyone else, you won't be up and about the next day. Plan to take a few days off work to rest and heal properly.
    They are all straightforward procedures which are best done at the same time.

    Fingers crossed that you're all clear though and there is nothing to worry about!

    Hi everyone, just thought I'd updated what happened after the lap ...

    My obgyn told me that everything inside is clear, no blocked tubes, no endo. so at least I can breathe a sigh of relief on that. but my blood test came back showing a high level of prolactin, he said this is caused by stress, and disrupts ovulation ... so he's putting me on a tablet to reduce the prolactin level. I was too groggy when he explained this to me, but I've been googling about prolactin, and I've found that high prolactin levels can cause anovulation, even though my OPK results have been positive.

    Just wondering if anyone else had had this before? thanks heaps ..

    Hey!!

    I've had high prolactin in the past and it is easily remedied. I was doing night shifts at the time and sometimes even a lack of sleep can cause it. It's an easy problem to fix hun!! Mine actually sorted itself out and I didn't need to do anything.

    YAY for finding no blockages and no endo!!

    I had my lap and dye yesterday. It was a very quick procedure, I was in little pain but I do have some discomfort where the incisions were made. I have two days off work and am going back on friday. I feel I will be fine by then, maybe a little discomfort. Be sure to lay still following the surgery and they should let you sleep it off in recovery, don't be in a hurry to leave the hospital until you're well enough. Moving about too soon brings on nausea. Lots of luck.
