HSG Today

[NavyWife84]

I'm sooo nervous and scared! Not really about the procedure...I tolerate pain pretty well and my cramps are debilitating so I am used to really bad cramping. But I am having another sonogram with a focus on my ovaries, the doc is looking for that string of pearls (she has been suspecting PCOS after my last two cd3 tests showed high levels). The last sonogram noted cysts on my ovaries but they didn't measure them or anything. I am also terrified about what they will find during the HSG. Up until now, the docs have just suspected endo or PCOS. (We will be doing a lap next to check for the endo.) I never even considered my tubes being blocked. I never would have thought I would have to go through all of this (and probably even more) to be a mommy and make dh a daddy. And now it is all so real. Having tests by different doctors, getting second opinions, endlessly waiting for calls from the doctors...its a killer! I am trying to stay positive, but I am just so worried that I am going to get really bad news. I can handle clomid or another med to help with ovulation. I can even handle a lap to get rid of endo. But what if they tell me my tubes are blocked and I can't have children? My whole world will crash down around me. I know this isn't very likely, but it is so scary. Dh is so good and tells me that it doesn't matter to him...if we have to adopt its fine but I know how bad he wants a baby and someone to carry his name and his genes.
I guess I just needed to vent and to ask those that believe to be praying for me today. Thanks ladies!

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers. My HSG went well today. Everyone there was really nice and seemed much more competant than the last time I had a sonogram. (The last people really did a crappy job.) They seemed to have some trouble getting good pictures during my HSG and the dye kept leaking out. In fact, they had to do the dye twice because they were having trouble. Luckily, the only thing that hurt me was the catheder and ballooning it. I honestly didn't even feel the dye. The doctor kept asking me if she was huring me and if I was okay and I didn't feel a thing. The only thing that really got to me was that I really had to go to the bathroom!
They didn't really tell me anything else, except three different employees told me that a lot of women get pregnant after having an HSG. I'm not getting my hopes up, but it doesn't hurt to try to be one of those statistics. I was told not to bd for 24 hours, but told my dh to be ready. We will be bding every day for the next two weeks!!!
Thanks again for your thoughts and prayers!

NavyWife I just had my HSG last week and was told the same thing by the obgyn. She said the cycle after an HSG is usually easier to get pregnant on so take advantage. Glad everything went well for you and good luck!
