CD 9: Hysterosalpingogram Results

So today I had my Hysterosalpingogram today.... and boy oh boy was that an experience for the books! Like I mentioned in my last post I had to attend the appt by myself because DP was still at work. I had been reading on the internet and watching Youtube videos about the procedure (I know, shame on me) and so once I got to the hospital I kind of freaked out. I honestly think I was freaking out about the procedure hurting than I was about the results of the procedure.

The X-Ray tech had me change into a gown and a nice little robe and then she had me lay on the X-Ray Slab/Table on my back. My RE did the procedure (I scheduled it specifically with her because I was not comfortable with some random stranger shooting dye into my uterus), and overall she was pretty quick. She started with a speculum that is "a tad larger" (the lies... I mean interpretation of the X-Ray tech) that speculum was a lot larger than the normal speculum and it was uncomfortable. But I had no idea what would come next...  she cleaned off my cervix while the X-Ray tech tried to distract me by making small talk and then out of nowhere with no warning she clamped down on my cervix with what I can only guess was a tenaculum. I swear it felt like a shark had clamped down on my cervix and I darn near jumped off the table! After that she took the speculum out.... ummmm ouch again! Try having something clamped onto your cervix, with a tube in your cervix all while having a speculum being removed so the test can be done (sheesh)! Once all of that was done the rest of the test went pretty quickly. They slid the table backwards so they could use the X-ray machine and I got to watch the test happen on a nifty little monitor. At first my RE was concerned that there was backflow but after more dye went into the fallopian tubes there was spillage out of the ovaries and she concluded that I passed the test! 

So now I have a sweaky clean uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries!!! I am hoping this was exactly what my body needed to create a "super highway" for the spermies & egg(s) to meet!!

Tomorrow the tank should be arriving as well as the HCG trigger shot and I am so excited because everything is becoming so real!!!

BABY DUST to all & Many Blessings!
