I had my laparoscopy 3 days ago. First 2 days it was really painful to get in & out of bed. Today is a lot better but as soon as I move around for more than a few minutes I get bad cramping pain & have to go back to bed. Was supposed to go back to work today but there is no way in hell that is happening anytime soon. Have also been bleeding since the op - they didn't warn me about that!

I had mine back in January.  I had both tubes removed before starting my IVF.  The MD said that if your tubes are bad they can develop a poisonous fluid that may splash into your uterus after the embryo is transfered.  This fluid could cause MC.  I was off work for a week and when I went back I had to take it slow.  My job can be very physical at times.  I was a little sore but not bad.  The soreness increased when I tried to walk fast.  Anyway, good luck.

Hello,

I had one done 1 week ago today.  I felt tired the first 2 days (I think from all of the pain pills etc..) My shoulders did hurt late Friday evening, it is from the gas they use to expand your belly.  Other than that I was fine.  I went out to dinner with friends Sunday night and back to work on Monday.  It was pretty painless. Everything was found to be in good shape except for some mild
endometriosis and a cyst on my right ovary.  My RE removed it and I go in for a check up on the 27th.  Good luck-you will be fine:)
