Trouble TTC
HSG in 40 minutes...hospital nurses are stupid
They said 11:30, and we get here at 11:05...RE won't be here until noon. Then I ask about when to take the advil or vicodin, the nurse looks at me at says
Nurse: "Vicodin? Vicodin? Wow, that's strong."
me: "yeah, well I have a script for it & heard the test is painful."
nurse: "ohhh...what do you have it for?"
Me: "Hip problems & previous hip surgeries."
Nurse: "ohhh...well, it doesn't hurt really. Just like bad period cramps. Have you had it done already?"
me: "I heard it hurts & I had one while under for a lap 2 years ago."
nurse: "oh ok, well take the advil at 11:30."
Sheesh! Let me just get this done with you (probably fertile) idiot. And did I mention the newborn baby & mother in the wheelchair at the entrance...nice.
ETA: RE won't be here til 12:30 now. Have to sit around with no pants on in these fvcking gowns that aren't even long enough for all 5'11" of me. Ughhh

Fingers crossed for good results!
While it hurt like a b!tch (bad period cramps my a$$) it didn't last too terribly long. I wasn't smart enough to take anything beforehand, though
Ugh how irritating! GL, hope it goes well
Good luck with everything!! Keep us posted as to how it goes!!
Im having this done tomorrow and I am soo nervous. I have doctors hospitals needles pain. I hear some people say it doesnt hurt at all and others go threw the roof. Please share your experience if you are feeling up for it.
Best of luck... good vibes for clear tubes
Mine was full of issues and because I have a blocked tube I had to keep rolling from side to side repeadely. When the nurse walked me back to the dressing room she said "now tell your husband you deserve a big ice cream sunday for this". I burst into tears in the hallway, I had just been diagnosed diabetic...bet she never said that again! People are just stupid. I hope you have nice clear pathways!
Thanks ladies! It hurt..of course..RE was over 1 hour late too...
And it was thisclose to being canceled because the RE couldn't get the catheter in. I was crying on the table because he was moving everything around. I was also crying because I don't want to take another whole day off of work for more medical sh!t. These last 2 years I've taken off soooooo many days!
As I was watching, the dye didn't go down the one tube and then I started crying more. I kept asking: "Is that one blocked?" But no one would answer. Then the dye came through the other side too. Maybe there was a little bit of something there?? RE just said it was slow moving dye.
Everything was clear. So I'm happy about that.

Im sorry it was such a frustrating day for you. Was your husband aloud to be in the room with you? I have heard its different everywhere. Im hoping mine can be with me tomorrow!
Congrats on the clear pathways!!
My dad went with me since my H had to work. I imagine they'd let yours in. They did when I had a saline sono, but that was at the RE's office. This was at the hospital.
