Today I had both my HSG and my hysteroscopy. My doctor wanted me to have both due to the chlamydia antibodies issue. I figured I'd just take one day off and do them both.
The hysteroscopy was first. It was at the office so it felt pretty low key. Once again I had a different doctor but she was really nice. The procedure was super short and she said everything looked fine. There was a lot of cramping and discomfort but it was over quickly.
The HSG was done at a hospital which felt more official. I was the most nervous about this one because of the antibodies and because I'm allergic to iodine. They gave me medicine to start taking yesterday and I took some benadryl an hour before. It made me so sleepy I'm glad DH came to drive me home. The doctor showed me the dye going through the tubes and they were all clear.
I was relieved but also worried. If it's not a blocked tube than what is it? It's a start I guess to know what is not the problem. Next is my follow up from the Clomid challenge and DH had to get his SA. Then finally we can make a plan.
