This may be a bit long, not sure, BUT It's all honest, accurate and up to date info! We had been ttc for 2.5 yrs then I finally went to doc, she said I have a uterine polyp. So...with no health insurance I found a place that was gonna charge roughly 7,000 to complete an HSG (ink test for Fallopian tubes) as well as the hysterescopy(removal of polyp). Well-that's way too much money so I put it on the back burner UNTIL I couldn't take the sadness anymore so I looked again and THANKFULLY found another fertility doc who would charge 3,500 for both as well. The reason why it was such a BIG diff in $ was that this new site has ON site surgery and the other didnt. So it was all kinds of costs! Ridiculous, 7,000!
Well-I finally had the appt scheduled and Done! 😊 It was quite an experience. Morning of the exam I showed up in comfortable clothes and took a prescribed valum upon arrival. Boy-I needed it. It truly eased my anxiety. So if you're gonna get this done...I recommend asking doc for a prescription just for one pill or maybe 2 (for the night prior to exam-that's what I did). Ok, so, first they did the HSG and I was able to see for myself the Ink travel through BOTH tubes. Which is good! No problems there! BUT there was a pretty visibly big polyp. So after the HSG they wheeled me on over to surgery and OUT I went with the anesthesia. Next thing I know...I'm waking up in recovery room with very nice nurses. Recovery was rough, not gonna lie. The first two days are the toughest. Just heavy cramping that is bearable w pain meds but they made me sleep so I was very groggy. Two days later I felt fine! I will admit tho...the IV or the antibiotics made my stool very soft and runny. (TMI! I know-but warning you guys incase you get this surgery done! 😊
Well today was my follow up appt to speak with doc. She removed the catheter! And showed me pics of the polyp during surgery and then the after pic with my uterus all nice n clean!!! Also...there turned out to be 3 polyps (not just the 1 that we knew was there all along). Doc says those polyps could have definitely been a factor in implantation!! In her words "big bad wolf was sleeping in Goldie locks bed" ha.
She wants me to start trying next month!! After 3 years of TTC I hope and pray I am able to get pregnant now.
Baby Dust and Prayers for ALL of us. ✨✨✨✨
