Anyone else get weird symptoms/late periods following a hysterography/laparoscopy?

I'll say in advance that this is probably just me being paranoid - but I'm awash in a sea of men, with no one I can just run this past, and it's kinda driving me mad, so I was really just wondering what anyone with a menstral cycle made of it..

I'm 32, been TTC for three years and have PCOS and endometriosis. I had a laparoscopy in January to remove the endometriosis, after which a lot of the cramping pain went away - but my other symptoms were pretty constant, and my cycle remained a predictably unpredictable - 27 to 35 days. The consultant said there was also still no dye coming through on the test, so he booked me in for a hyserography in June.

He said this procedure was a success, and they saw dye coming through, and I was delighted. I got my period two weeks later, and it was awful, but I was told that was normal and there would be some stuff left to pass through (sorry, TMI) so I didn't worry that one was weird.

However, I've not had a period since. I'm now on day 40, which is way later than I've ever been. I'm also getting really weird symptoms. I usually get a bit of nausea when I come on, but this month I've felt really sick for days, which doesn't usually happen. I also have so much discharge that I keep thinking I HAVE come on, which has never happened.

I've done a pregnancy test and it was negative, so I'm trying to just think it's the usual PCOS related madness... but it might just be the hormones (and I am always pretty hormonal at this time of the month, nothing changed there), or the fact that i had an operation recently, but this has got me really worried. I keep thinking, did the operation go wrong, have my periods just stopped, did they cut something or is something blocked or do I have an infections (all totally irrational, usually at about 3am...)

I keep thinking about making a doctors appointment, but then the rational part of my head is like, and say what? I'm having perfectly normal PMS symptoms - just not ones I'm used to? I don't really want to waste the NHSs time on something that's probably just me getting carried away with myself.

So, yeah, I really just wish I knew any women to ask - is this normal? has anyone else had this?

No gp would do anything for a being a few days late, as frustrating as it is. It's probably just late ovulation, which I'm sure you know. This may have been caused by the op, stress or even the heatwave!

I'm sure you've tried, but have you considered tracking bbt to determine when ovulation is? That would help you work out when af is actually due.
