MONTH 7- HSG (HYSTROSALPINGOGRAM) experience & results

Ok I read up on this test before I went in and the reviews and experiences scared me to death! I saw some women passed out, some threw up, some said the pain can be really scary. What they do is put a catheter in through the cervix then once in the uterus a little balloon sneaks out of the tip and is blown up in your uterus. The balloon is a bit bigger than a quarter, but I hear it feels the size of a brick. Then they inject dye to see if your uterus fills up and the dye spills into the tubes and ovaries. You can see the process on the screen as they inject the dye.

So Brandon went with me in case I couldn't drive after, and for moral support of course. When it was my turn they tell me he can't some in due to the X-Ray machine =( GREAT!
The nurse was really sweet, and asked me if we were trying to get pregnant, and made small talk until the X-ray tech gets in. Wow he looks like he is 25 and for some reason he reminds me of a sleezy bar guy that creeps on women =/

 GREAT THIS GUY GETS TO DO THE SCARY TEST ON ME... I'm not feeling happy about this. So he gets me set up and takes a poke at the cervix and I scream OUCH!!! " Sorry your cervix is small just give me a second"  Ten minutes later and feeling like I just had 500 darts thrown at my cervix he says we are going to have to stop because its " Just too narrow" Omg! I have to have this test done!! Whats gonna happen? Is this why I'm not getting pregnant "Narrow cervix disease" Is that a thing? Lol! He tells me it happens sometimes and I'm just gonna have to reschedule and prior to trying this again I will have to first go to my fertility Dr and get dilated (preyed open) so it will fit.
I bled a little when I got home. Idiot guy I bet he didn't know what he was doing!

A few days later we are headed to try this again- So I go to my fertility Dr and ask him if my " Narrow cervix" is whats preventing me from getting pregnant. He said absolutely not you have a period blood comes out of it sperm are microscopic and can go through so don't worry...
 He attempts to dilate me and I scream BLOODY MURDER!!!! O HELLLLLLL NO!!! STOP-HAULT-NO- NO- NO!!!! He pulls away and asks if I need a valium. At that point I was crying and horrified. I felt so violated.. "What was that and why did it hurt so bad??" YES! I'VE NEVER DONE DRUGS BUT I'LL HIT THE CRACK PIPE RIGHT THIS SECOND IF IT GETS ME THROUGH THIS! Don't get me wrong I drink when I go out but always been scared of putting drugs into my body until that moment. So I took one ate some animal crackers and grape juice, and 20 minutes later I was on a cloud =) feeling so relaxed and cosy. Kind of like being drunk and happy but also numb everywhere. He dilated my cervix and I didn't even feel it! First he tried the really tiny catheter then the normal size that they would have at the X-Ray place. It went in! YAY! So I strolled out and Brandon drove me to the X-Ray place. A different older looking tech did the procedure thank god. I was really giggly and let them know I was feeling good and on Valium.  He put it in and I felt this numb painless pressure down there. I asked if it was in.. He said yes its blown up about to inject dye. I started crying and said "Omg thank god it went in im so happy!!" I was even happier that I was numb. He then told me to watch the screen, and as I did I saw the dye spill into the tubes then ovaries! All was good! I asked him if anything at all looks weird. He said " Well I see something in your left tube thats very tiny maybe a polyp, but the dye passed so it's not gonna cause a problem" Eww whats a polyp I thought.. O well whatever.. He said I'm good so I PASS YAY!!
