First laparoscopy Soon...

Hi, I've now got my date for my laparoscopy, cyst removal & dye test.

Does anyone know how often the doctor will do a ca125 test? Mines was 223 at start of Sept. I'm told this is due to the endo I have & it's not been mentioned again.

my husband has been great, as my mum has been diagnosed start of sept with endometrial cancer & had a hysterectomy 2 weeks ago. I haven't wanted to discuss "me" with my family as they are going through enough.

I know now it's getting closer my mum,dad & sister would be upset at not knowing that we have been to the infertility clinic & I'm having an operation so I'm telling them after pre-op on Monday. I've kinda stuck my head in the sand making sure my mum's ok & forgetting about me over last month. I had to discuss with My manager who said to me its elective surgery I'm having, I wouldn't have thought it would go down as that? She also mentioned Xmas Rota so maybe just ensuring I'm back for Xmas!

Thanks mc.

I believe they call it elective surgery as it’s not an emergency, personally I don’t like it either as it makes it sound like you have a choice and to be honest you don’t really if you want any quality of life. Plus you want to find out what’s going on with your body and your fertility.

I hope everything goes okay for you and your mum, let us know how you get on Xx
