Laparoscopy/hysteroscopy update

Finally with it enough to post about yesterday's surgery.

First of all, thank you all for writing in with your personal stories and experiences. And Nina, thanks for writing in from the perspective of an OR nurse. My belly button has never been so clean!

The nurse called me in for the surgery a little late, around 12:45. Had me walk into the OR, resign some consents, go over my allergies. Open my mouth for the anesthesiologist ("that's as wide as you can open it?" yup.) Then they hooked up some EKG leads, put a mask on my face and my RE said, " I'll make sure you're ok." That's the last thing I remember.

I woke up in the recovery room to my RE telling me he was surprised to find lots of endometriosis once he got in there. Both on top of and behind my uterus. Ultimately, he classified it as stage 3 endometriosis. He said he cleaned it all out.

There were two stages of recovery. One in a bed and then later on, sitting in a lounge type chair where I was offered something to eat. Mouth was super dry and I was a little nauseated. Lots of urethral pain (presumably from the catheter). But all in all, not so bad.

RE came by again in the second recovery area to go over everything again. Hysteroscopy normal. Moderate endometriosis, which he seemed pretty excited to have discovered. Funny to have all of it because I've never really had anything much in the way of symptoms.

Hoping this will have some positive effect on getting/staying pregnant.

All right, now, back to bed with me. Very, very sleepy.
