October:
Time for another update. After months with no signs of ovulation we are
moving to the next step. An hysterosalpingogram ( or HSG test… who the heck can remember that
word!) was performed. I was nervous
about this. I googled. Ladies going through a similar experience,
the best advice I can give you know is put down your mouse and STOP
GOOGLING! Holy terrifying are the
stories you find online and nowhere near accurate! Ignorance is bliss in this
instance. All I could find were stories
of unbearable pain, complications etc. Mine
was quick and relatively easy. I’m not
saying that having dye injected into your uterus is a pleasant experience, it’s definitely
a little uncomfortable, but overall it was a pretty cool experience. You get so
see on an x-ray screen the dye going through your fallopian tubes. Best case scenario you see “spillage” out of
the tubes into your abdominal cavity.
Lucky me, both tubes (with a little push of extra dye) spilled! I was
also fortunate to know the x-ray tech very well. She was amazing and made
everything much more comfortable. Huge
thank you to my x-ray angel Diane Dold.
