Has anyone experienced a cancelled laparoscopy due to an issue with anesthesia? For context, while the anesthesiologist was administering anesthesia, I quickly went into anaphylactic shock due to an allergic reaction to the meds.
My insurance has given me a July deadline to do my FET, otherwise I’ll have to pay out of pocket for the transfer. I know I need to recover and that this was really no one’s fault…but I can’t help but panic over the whole situation and worry that my FET will be impacted. All because I was allergic to a an anesthetic drug, which no one even knew about. I’ve been under anesthesia multiple times and this was differently a first for me.
I’m still writing this from the hospital ICU where I was intubated and catheterized.
Should I proceed with a transfer cycle without the laparoscopy? I had an MRI done and it doesn’t really show any endo…but my doctors suspect that it’s silent endo. At the same time, I don’t want to skip the laparoscopy if it’ll give me the best chance for success, especially since I’ve already had two failed FETs. if I do proceed without the laparoscopy, my doctor will treat me as though I do have endo to try to overcome it.
I feel like whenever I’m close to finishing IVF, some new medical challenge always comes up. it’s incredibly frustrating and I’m at a loss. Nevertheless, I’m grateful to be alive right now given how badly I reacted to the anesthesia.
