Lap & dye + spot diathermy yesterday what next?

[pinkapples]

I had this procedure yesterday and am now at home off for the next week just wondered what I am supposed to do now in terms of next steps? Just wait and see? How will I know if it has worked or not? I have Clomid resistant pcos been ttc for nearly 9 months

[Havingkittens]

Start shagging is my suggestion (or as soon as you're allowed). I have heard of quite a few people who have had problems conceiving that have got pregnant immediately following a lap & dye! May or may not work but worth a try. Something to do with stimulating your ovaries or unblocking something, I'm not quite sure.

Your consultant should've given you a bit more idea about what happens next though. Maybe you should speak to them, or your GP?

[pinkapples]

Yea I've got an appointment with the fertility clinic in 4 weeks so hopefully something will happen before then to get things going... Hope it has been worth it as it is mega sore

[Havingkittens]

Sorry to hear that. May want to hold of on the shagging then I suppose! It's just that I have heard of people getting pregnant unexpectedly after this procedure.

[pinkapples]

I'll be alright, back to SWI when soreness goes down they said about 3-5 days

[MalibuStac]

I got pg 6 weeks after a lap and dye while taking metformin, clomid didn't work for me either. Get to it when the soreness fades.

[pinkapples]

Awww so nice to hear it might all be worth it

[pinkapples]

Did u have a period first or just started SWI

[pinkapples]

Pain starting to ease off but still sore am enjoying lots of bed rest and living having dh take care of me

[MalibuStac]

Sorry I haven't replied quicker. I bled after the lap n dye then I had another af then bfp. But we just SWI after the first bleed stopped. Glad dh is looking after you. Are you ttc #1?

[pinkapples]

Yea ttc 1 for the last nine months, I have pcos so always knew it might be difficult luckier than most o guess cuz I have known since I was 15 so I expected it. 3 days post op now still sore when I move in certain directions but am still on bed rest how long did it take for AF after ur lap?

[MalibuStac]

I have pcos too. Had ds at 19 without any problems started ttc #2 so stopped the pill nothing happened. Af didn't come for months gp started doing tests and found I had pcos. Took 6 rounds of clomid only ov'd once. Got sent for lap & dye, blead because of it. Went back to gynecologist who said they couldn't help me further as I had ds. I asked for metformin to help with the ovulation and took them. Then af arrived about a month to 6 weeks later without having to take progesteron. Next af kind of spotted over the space of 3 weeks doc thought I had a burst cyst as I was in lots of pain but I was actually pregnant. Dd just turned 1. It will happen just harder for us.

[pinkapples]

Yea I'm sure it will eventually... Had 6 roofs of clomid already so not sure what they will do next if this doesn't work

[MalibuStac]

Have you taken metformin? There are lots of options for you for ttc. When you back at the consultant? It was different for me due to already having ds.

[pinkapples]

No not taken that just Provera and then Clomid I'm back at the fertility clinic on 16th of august so should have a better idea by then what is or is not going on x

[MalibuStac]

Are you feeling any better? X

[pinkapples]

Yea feeling alright today thanks dressed for the first time in 4 days so that must be a good sign

[MalibuStac]

Definitly a good sign. Dp and I are hoping to ttc #3 soon but have to move house first.

[pinkapples]

Hubby and I did all that last yr, bought a house got married and ttc %231 all in under 6 months hehe hope the move goes ok

[pinkapples]

That meant to say just ttc 1 hehe how long did it take u to bleed after ur lap

[MalibuStac]

I bled straight away then again a month(ish) later. But I think that was the metformin. Have you bled? I think the dye brought on my bleeding.

[MalibuStac]

Sorry last message doesn't make sense. I think I had af without provera due to metformin but I think the bleeding after the scan was due to the dye they use.

[pinkapples]

I spotted straight after for a day or so also with some remnants of blue but nothing since been told just to wait and c if it happens naturally but got an apt in 4 weeks so...

[CleanSheetsAndSmoothLegs]

I had mine on Wednesday, but don't get a follow up appointment for 3 months :(

Despite my post on the other thread, I think I am actually spotting rather than menstruating.

Are you having sex, pinkapples? My stomach is decidedly sore, but I keep reading stories of people becoming pregnant in the first month after the operation, so don't want to miss a good chance!

[pinkapples]

Dh and I are not at the mo as like u my stomach around the incisions is a bit sore. May give it s go at some point this week tho as it is getting better. Did u have a period before the lap? I think u can get preg if u have one before then have the lap then SWI. I didnt have ones I dont have them at all without induction so I was told to wait for a period then SWI got an apt in 4 weeks tho so hopefully they will b able to sort it if nothing has happened

[CleanSheetsAndSmoothLegs]

Yes, I had one at the beginning of July, but my cycles are so incredibly unpredictable that I have no idea when another one might have been due!
