Mission HSG COMPLETE!

So! The dreaded HSG... not so bad!! What a sigh of relief! I had myself worked up over something that turned out to be much less painful than I ever anticipated.

 I had this nerve testing done once, I had made the mistake of looking online and seeing others reactions to the test: ALL negative. In fact, just like the HSG, the most common response, and I quote, was: I WILL NEVER, EVER have this test done again! And, I wholeheartedly agreed with that statement for the nerve testing. I was in tears. Not sobbing, just tears flowing freely down my face. It was terrible, terrible pain.

When I 'researched' the HSG, I went online and watched hours of youtube videos of women, also in tears, saying just how terrible the HSG was. I almost cried watching!! I knew I had to do it, but man.. did I want to? HECK no, I didn't.  A friend of mine said "Just remember what you're doing this FOR. Don't lose sight of that." And, honestly.. that's the only thing that got me in there. I have terrible anxiety, and I worked myself into a frenzy over this thing.

I do have a high tolerance for pain. But, it wasn't painful at all. It was uncomfortable. At times, pretty uncomfortable. That second statement is only true because apparently my uterus isn't tilted, but it's hard to get ahold of. It's aimed slightly backward. Dang uterus. So it was the searching for my uterus that was the most uncomfortable, not the filling of it.

I did it! It's done. I have an appointment to see Dr. Chen next Tuesday.  I have been on birth control pills to regulate my absent period for 1 month, just started the first week of my second pack. I believe I have 1 or two refills left on it, but I'm not entirely sure how long she wants me on them. Who knows! I could start Clomid and injections next week! Wishful thinking, I'm sure.. but.. :)
