HSG

Wow... a lot has gone on since my last posting. It's been a whirlwind of fertility! No... I'm not pregnant... but I have started seeing a specialist. I don't mind people knowing because I can use all of the support I can get! I was the same with my last pregnancy... I told a lot of people early because I figured if I did miscarry I would be telling them anyway... I needed the support and that's exactly what happened. It's been about 18 months since my miscarriage and no luck so I figured I'd go and see if anything was wrong.

My first appointment with the Dr. was last Wednesday and apparently all the testing they do starts on Day 1... and lucky me.... Day 1 was appointment day! So needless to say, in the last week I've had plenty of tests done. Yesterday was my HSG or hysterosalpingogram. During this test they shoot some dye into you and then do a series of x-rays to see if any tubes are blocked. I read up on the procedure the night before and the nurse informed me all about it. I knew there would be some pain but I read that it wasn't that bad. A few months ago I had cryosurgery and everyone seemed to advise that that procedure was much worse. HA.

I hurt. I don't know if it's because I was expecting pain with my cryosurgery and therefore it just didn't seem bad. With this one I wasn't expecting much at all so maybe it's worse because it does hurt! It's not intolerable. Although I would say it's a tiny bit worse than monthly cramping. It's just extremely uncomfortable and my whole body is very achy. Sigh.

Onto some good news - Bryce is totally potty trained. He goes by himself now and I dont' have to remind him. It's AWESOME!

Well, I have to go get ready now for another Dr. appointment (fun!) but I'll update again soon.
