They told me I need to remove my nail polish the night before and I also couldn't eat or drink after midnight =( So I got there and they had me take off all jewelry, and put a gown on. I then laid in a bed with curtains in a room with about 15 other people. the lady next to me was crying to her husband about how she was scared and something about a lump in her breast that they were testing.. How scary! =( They stuck an iv in my left hand that they taped down and it just stayed there pinching me. I was nervous, and cold. Probably because of the bag of fluids they were giving me. so about 45 mins later the anesthesiologist comes in and goes over everything with me. Shortly after that the nurse comes in and says ok I'm gonna give you something to relax you and sticks a tube in my iv.. As I was telling her wait I'm scared what is that she just starts pushing it through telling me it will make me feel great just relax. With in about 30 seconds I felt like I have 5 shots! Wow I'm fine and happy now! Hahah! So she wheeled me in a room with what seemed like 10 people all around the surgery table. So they scoot me from the bed to the surgery table, and the anesthesiologist puts one of those plastic masks on my face just like in the movies. By the way I have never had surgery or been knocked out.. Next thing I know I was dreaming and could hear talking. then with in about a minute it was just like I woke up from a nap. Waa laa I'm back! Felt a tad foggy but not bad at all. I remember the outside of my vagina felt sore, and I asked them why and the nurse said "Oh probably from the catheter" Excuse me!! When did I say yall could use one of those?! When I was a kid I had a bad experience, and they forced one in because I had a bladder infection, and I wet the bed until I was 12. Ahh whatever I guess it's part of the surgery protocol so I don't pee on the doctor. I left with a jumbo pad on, and felt just like I was starting my period. Kinda crampy, but shockingly not too bad at all. I was starving so my husband and mother in law ran me to get soup and a taco from my favorite mexican restaurant. After I ate I slept the rest of the day, and just laid around watching tv. Honestly the surgery was not bad at all. I spotted for about 2-3 days very little. Worst part was that iv in my hand. It left a bruise for about a week or so.
I never thought about the possibility of it taking so long to conceive after we started trying. I am a healthy 29 yr old who comes from a family of super fertile women. So it was definitely a shock to realize I was not pregnant after months of trying. So now here I am decorating my infertility blog instead of decorating my baby's room. LOL!
