Laparoscopy

On the 29th I am scheduled to have a laparoscopy. I am having a paratubal cyst removed, and dye injected to check for any blockages in my tubes. So what am I in for? My RE explained it, but I would rather here from someone who has been through it. Is it weird to say I am kinda hoping for a blockage? At least that would explain why the Clomid wasn't successful. (it was successful in the sense that I ovulated every time, but not so in the sense that it never resulted in pregnancy). No blockage means no explanation and that is far worse. This is all being done as a precursor to starting injections. Wish me luck!

In other news, Hubby and I have been on a diet for 3 weeks now. Mainly just cutting down on cabs and sugar, drinking lots of water, etc. I even went back on my prenatal vitamin.  I don't think either of us have really shed any pounds yet, but we both can tell a major difference in how we feel now that we are no longer polluting our bodies with fast food and junk. That alone makes it all worth while to me. I am hoping that losing even 5% to 10% of my body weight will help these fertility treatments be successful.

Anyone have a story about how losing weight helped them to finally conceive? I would love to hear from my fellow PCOS ladies especially, as I know what a challenge it can be to drop pounds with this diagnosis.
