Ok so I was diagnosed last year with a 4cm endometrioma on my left ovary which was 'probably' (consultants word) stuck in pouch of Douglas. Due to work providing private healthcare πŸ‘ I arranged to see a new consultant who then put me onto zoladex.

During zoladex I had 2 scans and first one showed new endometrioma on right ovary and then second showed that both ovaries were now behind the uterus and stuck together, I think she called them kissing ovaries (?). So she gave me 4 months clear of zoladex to see if I would get pregnant (didn't happen πŸ˜”) so now we have scheduled lap for March 31st and she has asked to have 2 consultants present which I have to be honest freaked me out a little. So just wondering what everyone's experience with lap is like? She said that I'm staying over night and so far is all the info I have, but I have signed paperwork for them to be able to do whatever they consider necessary? Has anyone had lap take a long time the first time? I'm just so worried about what will happen, how long it will take and what I will feel like after. I'm aware these are probably how long is a piece of string questions but any advice will be greatly received.
