I'm am devastated. I had my HSG appt this morning, and the doc couldn't get the catheter into my cervix. she tried every which way, using different tools and couldn't do it. I was in a LOT of pain for the time she was poking around in there. after a while without success, she decided to stop.
she was really surprised that I had delivered vaginally before, because the cervix seemed so closed up. she said that might have something to do with our IF and that she'd get a report off to our RE.
I am just crushed. I know my cervix must be open to some degree, because otherwise, my period wouldn't come out. (plus, we had a chemical pg recently.)
still I feel like this must be a strike against us. even if sperm are getting up there, the passage they have to travel through is small -- so it's not a stretch to conclude that a lesser amount is passing through than if I had a normal opening.
I called my IF nurse to ask her about next steps. the radiologist today said that I might have to have the HSG done at a hospital, where they could monitor me if they encountered problems during a more aggressive try of getting through the cervix. (scary.)
at any rate, I'm going to have to wait until the next cycle before I can get tested again.
I'm so tired of everything. is it too much to expect that I could at least get tested??? sheesh!
thanks for letting me vent.
