It's been a little while...

Since I've been on here... I guess I just took a break which makes me sad because going back and reading the posts I wonder why I even left. You ladies are amazing and mostly hilarious despite your circumstances... I wasn't very active on the boards before so I'm not expecting to be remembered but I thought maybe I could give an update as to how things have been going on my end.
Well I had my HSG on July 1. I literally teared up and almost cried because I was so scared and nervous. I guess I had good reasoning to be because that junk hurt freaking bad. Like I almost threw up. Luckily for me the pain was over as soon as she stopped pushing the dye. At our hospital the Drs. seem to be very inexperienced and I started to wonder if my OB had even done one of these procedures before, but it's not like I was going to question her confidence on this when she already had a speculum in my vagina and freaking catheter with a balloon inflated into my uterus (fun). When she started pushing the dye thats when the pain came... I almost lost it laying on that table looking at the screen because the dye would not leave my uterus and I thought for sure that my tubes were blocked and there was nothing they could do for me. Then the dr professionally says "injecting more dye" and I was like wait no please don't. But when she pushed the second round of dye it seemed to open the tubes or whatever... I don't even know. But it started traveling through the tubes and started spilling into my abdomen... but only on one side. No matter how much rocking back and forth I did it wouldn't spill out one side. I can't even remember which side. So now I'm convinced I have a dud tube and of course I'm always convinced I don't ovulate (don't ask me why, I'm just pessimistic). Follow up appt is the 15th. I'm way too impatient for that .
My husband has his semen analysis thursday morning. the lab said don't use any lube and i feel so bad for him because skin on skin friction sounds awful... I have heard you can use preseed so we might do that. Thankfully he is allowed to do the dirty work at home and just bring in the sample.
Other than that, my OB is on a freakishly long vacation and is gone like all this month and won't be back until August so I won't be getting any answers or updates from her for a while. I'm seeing another random OB for my hsg results.
But yeah. That's about it. I'm sorry that this is such a long post, I like to write... and talk about myself I guess since I can't talk about this stuff irl. My husband just asked me what "paper" am i writing because i've been writing for 10 minutes. Oops.

Re: It's been a little while...
My H had to do the same...didn't seem to mind about no lube. Went in, got the job done, went to work LOL (I could never! Can you imagine?)
Yes, my HSG was pretty freaking bad as well. Super painful despite the Ibuprofen, and I almost passed out on the table. Glad that's over!
Good news, though, is that sometimes that test does open up blocked tubes! Fingers crossed for you!
