Hysteroscopy & Laparoscopy scheduled..
This ish is real.
January 16th.
I'm so thankful that the holidays are here, and I will for sure have many distractions over the next couple of weeks.
I'll be totally under, and have been told the recovery time is typically 3-4 days.
And we just got the bills for the first round of tests/appointments. Eeps. I wonder if I can wrap a pictures of my t/v US or HSG and give it to everyone for Christmas? That would totally work, no?
After 2 years of TTC, lots of tests, and a Hysteroscopy/Laparoscopy to remove several polyps,
Clomid/IUI #1 3/14: cancelled due to surprise BFP 3/8/14.
Beta 1 3/11: 398 Beta 2 3/13: 728 Beta 3 3/20: 11,482
Surprise BFP turns into Surprise Twins!

Re: Hysteroscopy & Laparoscopy scheduled..
Good luck on your hysteroscopy and laparoscopy!
I just had a hysteroscopy a week and a half ago and the recovery was easy. I was a bit crampy for the first couple of days but nothing major and I had very little bleeding afterwards so hopefully your recovery will be just as easy!
Good luck! I hope it goes super well and is easy for you! I had laparoscopic surgery in Dec 2010 to unblock my tubes (and they treated endo) and it wasn't bad at all. I never took a single pain pill. The worst part was anticipating the surgery! Well, that and the gas. Ooooh the gas afterwards was crappy.. but it only lasted a day or two. (It gets lodged in your shoulder/back area and quick movement HURTS). Just burp, fart, walk it out as much as you can!
I felt GREAT the night after surgery. The next day I was sore, felt like I'd been beaten up, and laid around most of the day, but after that, I really felt pretty dang good. I was getting out of the house by the following day. I did find that I'd get VERY tired for about 1-2 weeks afterwards and I'm really glad I had a week off work, so just take it easy and rest when you feel tired. I was only mildly sore. The incisions were so tiny. I'd recommend that you avoid lifting anything heavy and don't stretch or twist too quickly because it will hurt then.
If I can offer one piece of advice, starting several days before, I highly recommend you start drinking Milk of Magnesia every day and continue for at least a week or so after the surgery. For some reason anesthesia can make you constipated and trust me, after abdominal surgery (even just laparoscopic) the LAST thing you want to do is have to really use those muscles to push because you will be sore if you use them... Just trust me on this one!
I really do hope the surgery is super easy for you!
In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!
