Hi ladies! Happy Wednesday. Now that I got my most recent BFN, the testing can commence. I had my first labs drawn on Saturday and, shockingly, received the results already today. The nurse called to let me know that my thyroid, FSH, Glucose, etc. were all normal. What's that? Positive news? Nice to hear that some things are, "normal".
Anyway, the next steps are my H's SA tomorrow, and my HSG which has now been scheduled for next Wednesday. My questions is: I was hoping to have the HSG done in the afternoon so I could work in the morning, but they scheduled me for a 7:30am arrival time. Since I've never had one done before, I don't know what to expect as far as work is concerned. Would you recommend I take the whole day off? A half day? Return to work immediately after? Thanks so much.
Re: Some results and a question (HSG)
*lurker coming out.. again*
I felt totally fine after the HSG, other than a light AF-like flow that lasted for several days. I had no cramping or anything. I would think you'll be fine to go right to work, or at most, take a half day. My HSG was awful (don't get scared.. I was a fluke with two totally blocked tubes and an overly zealous doc!) but I still was great as soon as it was over and even went shopping. Good luck!

Yes, definitely not to scare you but it was pretty uncomfortable. My RE was also trying to get an outline of my fibroid that was on the outside on my uterus so he kept pressing more dye.....he kept saying tell me if you can't take anymore and I was trying really hard to be a big girl. I know I probably almost broke the nurse's hand (the nurse held my hand to comfort me). But I would definitely say keep breathing....when I realized I was holding my breathe it seemed like it felt worse. But the excitement of having my one tube open kind of made things okay. I will say this there isn't any lingering pain, once it was done I was fine.
Thank you all so much for your responses, tips, and experiences! Unfortunately, just to add to it, I was told today that I will need to take Prednisone at 7pm, 1am, and 7am (plus 50mg of Benedryl at this time, too) in addition to the already prescribed antibiotics, due to an Iodine allergy. SO...what I'm trying to say is I just went ahead and took the whole day off. There is no way I could work let alone function after that much Benedryl. True story. Although, maybe I should have said FORtunately. I may be loopy enough to relax. Thanks again!
