First Lap in the morning

[eeh12]

Hi All,

I’ve been reading all the posts on here for a while and tomorrow I’m going for my first Lap. I’ve had painful periods my entire life, but in recent years these have left me unable to move with severe D&V, on a few occasions as I’ve been unable to keep pain medication down I’ve been admitted to both urgent care and A&E.

I’ve been told my multiple doctors that maybe I have a lower pain threshold to most and after an A&E admission I was finally sent for a test. I had an ultrasound scan but as that was clear my treatment never progressed so I’ve ended up going private. Very nervous for tomorrow but I think I’m more nervous that my Lap will come back clear and I’ll be back to stage one. Feels strange to wish for endo, but I’ve been told for so long this is in my head I think I’ve started to believe it. Has anyone else felt this way?

It’s normal to want an explanation, and validation that everything you are going through is caused by something physical and not ‘in you your head’. Lots of stories like that on here. Wishing you all the very best for your lap this morning and that you get some answers! x

It is very normal to want to find out what is going on with your body, I hope you get some answers with your lap and all goes well. Good luck with lap xx

Thank you both for your kind words! My lap did show endometriosis in two places that were luckily removed, however I have now been diagnosed with Adenomyosis which is likely to be the main cause of my issues. I definitely have my explanation and validation, but a world of new questions now! Not fun is it x
