HSG


So, Tuesday I took the day off of work to go get an hysterosalpingogram done. A hysterosalpingogram? Yeah, I can't even pronounce that word and I like to think I'm smart so I just call it an HSG...as does everyone else! I was really kind of freaking out about it because I had read so many different people's experiences with it. 

My husband and I pulled into the hospital at 12:00 and I was called back and put in a room around 12:45. They told me my doctor was running late so I laid on the x-ray table for what seemed like forever! I have to say, I was really intimidated by the room. I've never been in a room like that.

I felt a little bit better seeing that Flounder and Sebastian were on the opposite wall so I just imagined them singing "Under the Sea" for quite some time. 

Around 1:50 my doctor finally arrived. He did the procedure and I watched as the dye went through my uterus and spilled out both of my tubes! I was so excited! Excited, yes. I was excited because that means there isn't any blockage of any sort and all is well. The whole procedure honestly took maybe 10 minutes? It wasn't long at all. And it was pretty painless, I like to think I just have that great of a doctor!

But boy the cramps that came afterwards. YIKES! But luckily, they didn't last too long and I'm feeling wonderful today. Doctor told my husband and I to start getting busy making a baby. He doesn't have to tell us twice!

  2. Oh, I'm sorry yours hurt! I was prepared for a lot of pain! He told me unless I had a tubal pregnancy before, endometriosis or blockage, it shouldn't hurt. And he was right! But yes, the cramps were unbelievable! I wasn't expecting it to hurt quite that bad!
