Need help understanding lap results

Hey guys, 

I had my first lap yesterday and my results say that they found small amount of endometriosis around my left ovary and I have more than average free fluid in my pouch of Douglas. Anyone know what having more free fluid in POD means?! I asked the nurse what stage this means I am but she just said my gyno will tell me that at my appointment in 6 weeks time. Hate not knowing what's going on... Also said I had normal looking ovaries, but I was diagnosed with polycystic ovaries last year so confused about how they are normal looking? Any opinions would be much appreciated! 

Thanks so much xxx

I don't know anything about the fluid, maybe you had a recent cyst go, maybe a bleed? Not sure. 

Polycystic ovaries are cysts on the inside of the ovaries so unlikely it will be seen in a lap unless they are jam packed, it also can be reversed, I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2008 and my ovaries have been clear for a couple of years now, I changed my diet to cleaner eating and less sugar and exercise loads and it worked! 

Hope this has helped even if just a little xx
