Question about 1st cycle after lap for cysts

[beachmomma1]

Hi everyone, I recently had laparoscopy done on May 7 to drain cysts on both ovaries.  I began what I assume is my normal menstrual cycle yesterday (it's 3 days earlier than last month, so right around the same time) and I am wondering for those that have had the same procedure, what the first cycle post surgery was like?  I am having horrible pain in the left ovary, which was always my most troublesome one.  It is not so much a cramping pain, but a sharp pain.  It hurts when I walk, very similar to right after the surgery.  I really think this is just par for the course since the ovary just underwent the surgery so recently, but I am hoping someone else may be able to give me their experience as well.  This message board was awesome in preparing for what to expect, but I do not recall reading anything about this phase.  Thank you so very much.

Thanks so much for your reply :)  I figured it is just because I just had the surgery on them.  Felt less dumb asking here than calling the doc.

Since you had stuff done to your ovaries it could take some time for your body to adjust and regulate your periods.

I would expect the first one to be painful.

I wish I could help more but after my two surgeries for Endo removal/Cyst draining I was put directly on Lupron and then on the BCP every since. So I never experienced that period.

I hope someone can come along and answer your questions :)
