Infertility

Back from HSG

Wow.  That was literally *nothing* compared to what I had it built up to be in my head!  In the room during the procedure was my DH, the doctor, a nurse, and a medical student (I was asked if it was ok to have him in the room--they told me feel free to say no but honestly I didn't care.  He stood back by my head anyway just to see the screen as the test was happening.)  I can say I am SO glad DH was there though to watch as the dye was injected.  I think he was in awe, as was I, of actually getting to watch it happen on the screen! 

It really didn't hurt at all though--Even near the beginning before the dye went in the doctor told me I'd feel a cramp.  He goes, "Did you feel that?" and I said, "...um....no?"  lol.  Since I've left the office though I have felt very dull aches (I wouldn't even call them cramps) in my abdomen area.  I'm glad I took the Advil though!  The doctor told me that, and I quote, "Your plumbing looks great!"  LOL.  The dye spilled out and through both tubes!!  Woo hoo!!!!  I'm so relieved! Smile  Thank you for the good luck!

  • That is great! Mine wasn't so bad; I too had built it up majorly in my head. I did feel really queasy as it was happening, but that was 100% from the adrenaline and fear. Its funny, the pressure and waht not that just felt so odd to me was similar to what I felt on my internal ultrasound a few weeks later. It was all my overactive imagination.

    My GF though has blocked tubes and it was quite painful for her. I'm glad I didn't have to go through that, but certainly feel for anyone who does. 

  • That's super news! I'm glad it went well :)

    Surprise! Baby #4 is due in March!
  • Great News!!  Congrats on your "plumbing". Embarrassed
  • Sounds similar to my HSG.  It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be and I had a medical student in the room too.  It was nice though because the doctor was explaining everything in detail for me and the student.

    Good to hear everything went smoothly!! 

     

  • Thanks for sharing, that's great news! Mine is on Monday and hopefully will go just as well.
  • Thank you for posting this.  I'm leaving for mine in a few minutes and I'm nervous. This is exactly what I needed to hear right before I leave.
  • Happy to hear that you got good news and that it was much easier than you expected!
