yes that true everyone is different and mine was lucky i wasnt bleeding badly just normal bleed that all and it was a quick diagnosic lap for me!! but when i had the test done to see what wrong with me inside and found out that i had fibroid and it was big and i bled non stop for 9 hours and i was that worn out!! i never want to go though that again with fibroids and i suffered with that for 2 years bleeding non stop!!! constantly buy toilet rolls and sanitary towels and i cannot use Tampon as they make my stomach hurt!!

hiya

gemsau and tinker241 are right everyone is different, but when i had my first period after my laparascopy i was shocked! i've never suffered heavy periods before so it came as a shock when my first period after my laparascopy was mega heavy! it lasted about a week and i felt absolutely terrible and was bleeding so much and i proper panicked but it is apparently normal. like i say though everyone is different and if you get worried don't hesitate to see your gp :) but mine said it isn't uncommon to be heavy, but it probably does differ for everyone :)

Mine was much less painful than it used to be but I think it is because they drained and mobilised 5cm endometrioma in my ovary, only needed paracetamol as opposed to tramadol and diclofenac before my lap. First period lasted 9 days though instead of my usual 7. x
