I'm a bit of a lurker on this board, been trying for two years now and am soon to have a lap and dye. We have had all the other tests and so far nothing wrong with either of us. Unexplained infertility seems a bit of a poisoned chalice, nothing wrong but no pregnancy.
Anyway, I'm having the lap in August to check/flush my tubes and check for endometriosis (of which I have no symptoms). I have done lots of googling but still not totally sure what to expect.
Will I be off work for long after? Job involves lots of standing, walking, chances of being bumped into and being active. I assume it will depend on what they find/treat?
Am I going to be in hideous pain? Gas seems to feature heavily.
Is my consultant right in his 'anecdotal' evidence that after flushing tubes there is a greater chance of pregnancy?
I'll be going on the ivf waiting list after the surgery, this is a last ditch attempt to see if anything is wrong that can be fixed.
Thanks in advance, I thought I would feel more excited about the progress but I'm actually feeling more and more miserable. I don't want to have surgery to have a baby, why is it so bloody hard?
Whine over. Any advice gratefully received.
