Thanks to those who responded to my previous spotting question. My doctor thinks it may be polyps. Every month leading up to my period for between 3-5 days I spot, then flow. I have some additional fertility concerns. My doctor gave me an endometrial biopsy and said my cycle was out of phase by two weeks- I am on clomid for that, to balance my hormones and make me ovulate "better." I also have a possible tube blockage based on an HSG. So when I have my lap. I am hoping to get a lot of info. Does anyone else out there have all of these issues? I am starting to wonder if there's hope... Can anyone tell me what a lap. is like?

I don't have any polyps or fibroids. I did have a blocked tube (a rare sort of cyst that would have grown for years). I take Clomid, because without it, I don't ovulate. Ever. I had a lap done, and they diagnosed endometriosis and spent four hours treating it. Also removed that cyst and a bunch of adhesions. For me, with the endo being treated/removed, I had some post surgical soreness but felt IMMEDIATELY better. As in, in spite of all the post-anesthesia yuckies combined with the pain from surgery, I STILL felt better than I have in a few years. A lap isn't bad - there's not a lot of pain, and most of it is gone within a few days.

I had a lap last summer. The dr read my hsg as normal we went through 6 months of treatments then I went to the RE and he said it was abnormal then we had the lap and I had a malformed tube they think from birth (thanks mom) they then took it out I did not think it was to bad. Good Luck

I had a lap last month. I've never had surgery before, and it hurt more than I imagined--but the recovery was SO fast. The day after surgery I felt like I had been punched in the gut over and over & then stabbed 3 times (which is understandable, since that's almost what happened--they make 3 little incisions, one at the navel, & 2 by the pubic hair line). I thought, "Wow, this is going to take awhile to get over." But the next day was MUCH better. The day after that was even better, & so forth. I still have a huge bottle of pain pills in my cupboard that I didn't even use. The only thing that took awhile (about 2 weeks) to get back to normal was the desire for intercourse. I didn't feel ready until I felt completely healed, which the dr said would probably take a couple weeks. Best wishes!
