Monday I had my laparoscopy to check if there was any endometriosis. I have struggled with painfull periods ever since I was 14. It did get better after placing an IUD. Before the IUD I would pass out from the pain or be screaming and throwing up in the bathroom.

I explained this to my doctor and they decided the surgery was the best option.

I woke up after the surgery in a very confused state. I was also in a lot of pain (they said its from the air settling in my body).

After everything I see my doctor and he tells me he has good news and they didn't find anything.

I now have to wait 5 weeks to see what the next steps are. I do trust my doctor, it seems he wants to find the problem as much as I do.

But I don't know what to feel really. I feel slightly traumatized from the surgery (which I think is normal). I'm glad I won't need another surgery to remove anything. But I also feel like I'm back at square one.
