Testing...Testing.. 1.. 2... Tubes... Fallopian that is...

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.
