Trouble TTC

Hello - Introduction

Hello~

I am not new to the bump, but am new to the community.  I was TTC for 2.5 years, miscarried our son @ 13 weeks last October, had a D&C and have been TTC since then.  We are also dealing with PCOS, low motility and morphology.  I have been doing acupuncture every week to help regulate my cycle.  I have a SIS scheduled for tomorrow and an HSG scheduled the day after and I am really nervous.  Any advice or experience sharing would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

  • Welcome! I hope your stay is short.

    I also have PCOS. I am on 1500 mg of Metformin.Don't be nervous about the HSG, and whatever you do don't "google" it. LOL I put myself thru torture before mine. It really wasn't that bad at all. You will be so happy to have it done, and know there aren't any issues.

  • Thank you Soon2BMrsHess!  I appreciate the info.  I was advised by the clinic to take 800 mg of ibprofin 1 hr before the test to help relax the muscles.  Also, I am on 1500 mg of metformin.  At first it made me nauseous, but now I am used to it.

    I'm so sorry about your loss and that you find yourself here, but this is a wonderfully supportive community. So welcome! 

    The only advice I can offer is about your HSG. I totally psyched myself out and lost sleep thinking about how awful it was going to be. It turns out that, yes, it did hurt, but it was manageable. It was intense pain, but literally for only 15-30 seconds. Once it was over, I felt fine and wished that I hadn't gotten so nervous about it. Good luck!

    Thanks!

    Welcome, and I hope you get to have a short stay here. I'm so sorry for your loss.

    If it helps, I have an HSG coming up (well, I have to schedule it whenever I figure out my cycle), and I'm more excited than nervous. I think of it like this: HSG is not only a test that can give us answers, but it's also therapeutic and can be a treatment on its own. "Clears the snot out of the pipes" is how my male Army OB put it.

    GL!

    Don't expect any replies, and stop PMing me. This account is no longer being used and is waiting for the bump gods to deactivate it.
  • Sorry you need to be here but welcome to the board! So sorry to hear about your loss!  The ladies here are a wealth of information and support.  

    I wouldn't worry too much about the HSG - PPs have already given some great advice.  Good luck!
