Need advice for laparascopy for endometriosis
We've still not been successful in getting pregnant. It's been 10 months since our loss and I am beginning to lose hope. I've been having alot of crampy pains for the past 2 weeks and my dr has decided to rebook me for my laparascopy surgery Feb 17th. Has anyone had this and if so do you recommend it? I read that a woman is at higher risk for complications if they've had previous abdominal surgery, and I've had a c section and a d&c, so I am pretty worried about it. I do not know what to do but I am feeling lower than low at this point. I am so tired of people saying I shouldn't worry, Im only 22, I won't have a problem getting pregnant again, blah blah blah. I obviously DO have something wrong with me since my dh and I bd on a more than regular basis and Ive only been pregnant twice in the almost 5 years we've been together. Any advice would help ???????

It's normal to feel so anxious. I have had 2 laps for endometriosis in the past both went well. Obviously if they have to do anywork then you may have a little scar tissue but it's not prevented me from conceiving & the docs wernt worried about me conceiving they thought I had just as much chance as anyone else.
They make 2 small incisions (sometimes a third) there so small I can barely see a scar now, one is for the camera to have a look at whats going on & one is if they need to do any work.
Afterwards you do feel a bit sore & some women complain of shoulder ache cause of the gas they use but they will give you pain medication after if you need it.
I was uncomfortable after for about a week-2 weeks as had some internal bruising so was uncomfortable walking around & I couldnt lift my young godson up so you'll need to take it easy afterwards for a bit.
If you have any more questions about it feel free to ask. xxxx
Ive had 2 laps in the past month as well as 2 d&c's and a tube removal the op is very straight forward and will be done with serious care, as with all surgeries there are risks of complications but if you aren't getting anywhere and you need answers then i think its a good idea to go ahead and do it.
as the above post says, you will be tender for a while and may get gas pains (which disapate with gentle movement and regular pain killers.
good luck and i hope you get your answers
