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

How are you feeling now, btw? I feel quite a lot better today - less tired and sore and over-emotional!

[pinkapples]

If u ha one before ur lap I would SWI as soon a u feel up to it. I didn't so have to wait and see what happens x glad ur feeling better I'm alright have ventured out with dh to run some errands this morning so can't b that bad

Odd question but can I ask what your belly incision is looking like? The 2 lower ones are ok and healing well but the belly one is a bit smelly??? Anyone else having this problem? Infection do u think or just because I have had dressing on it?

[CleanSheetsAndSmoothLegs]

I am embarrassed to say I have been too wussy to look at mine! DP is washing the incisions and changing the dressings for me, but he says that on the first day they were red, the second day pink, an now a paler pink. I was told to go to my practice nurse if there was any pus or ooze or blood or smell. Do you think you should get yours checked out? Are you washing and changing dressings?

[pinkapples]

Yea every day, no blood or anything coming out tho? May ring them just in case

[CleanSheetsAndSmoothLegs]

No, nothing like that here. I think you should phone, or pop to your GP. How long ago was your op?

[pinkapples]

Was last Tuesday the 19th... Have phoned and the nurse is going to phone me back... I don't have anything coming out of it just the smell so will c what nurse says in a bit just another to add to the list of annoyances hehe

[pinkapples]

Doctors tomorrow just to check it's healing properly fingers crossed x

[CleanSheetsAndSmoothLegs]

Good - I think that's the right thing to do. I hope it's all ok.

[pinkapples]

Yea can't help to check can it?

[pinkapples]

Just got back from the docs she said it was slightly red and in her professional opinion 'mucky' has taken a swab and I've got some antibiotic ointment to out on that should clear it

[CleanSheetsAndSmoothLegs]

That sounds good. Hopefully the cream will work and all will be fine.

[pinkapples]

Yup hopefully just couldn't go right I knew something had to happen had my nails done today to cheer myself up

[pinkapples]

Just a quick update no AF just yet only 8 days post op but infection looks like it's clearing up and bd'd for the first time since op today and all is well, no pain!

Can get started SWI as soon as AF appears

[CleanSheetsAndSmoothLegs]

Incisions all healing well here too, and sex seems perfectly manageable. If it DID work this month, I wonder how quickly I could test for it. Though I do try to avoid testing in general, as the cost just gets a bit silly!

[pinkapples]

My consultant gave me some nhs ov and preg tests so I've got loads! Hehe
