Re: 5cm Cyst-Questions-SupportFrom: Amy (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu Jul 6 18:41:09 2000
Susie -- I had my first laparoscopy in Jan 99. It was an outpatient procedure. I was pretty sore for a couple days (I had the surgery on a Friday) but was back in classes on Monday & back at work the next Thursday. It is important to take it easy, but I can't imagine that you'd need longer than 2 - 3 weeks to recover from a normal lap. That's how long it took for me to not wince every time I moved. I was on bcp's before the lap, and switched to the depo shot for 6 months following -- which was a mistake. I didn't do any HRT, if that's what you're asking. From what I've read, your chances of conceiving go up dramatically right after a lap, so if you want one now, work on the conceiving as soon as sex is pleasurable :) Keep posting -- let us know how you're doing & how your lap goes. Some people out there have great tips on how to prepare yourself for a lap, and I'm sure they'd be willing to share those.

I have been reading your posts for a few weeks now as I have recently developed symptoms I believe are endo. Had an ultrasound and they found a 5cm cyst on my left ovary. Also, "something" on my right ovary. My Doc has suggested we wait 6 weeks, do another ultra to watch right ovary and then schedule a Lap. I am very scared of the Lap. I know a lot of you have gone through much more than a simple Lap-but any support would be welcomed. How long is recovery time? Doc said it would be an outpatient procedure. Do you normally go on hormonal treatment after Lap? I still hope to have kids, hopefully in the next 3 years. Judging from the posts I have read, my symptoms are realitively mild. Only severe pain day before my period, then bad cramps for the first couple days. That is it !! Sometimes bad bowel problems-which scares me the most. Thanks for the chance to "talk" and I look forward to keeping you all updated on my progress. It is so wonderful to have a place to go where people understand your feelings.
-- ((Hugs to All))Susie
