On Friday I went to the South Texas Radiology and Imaging Center for an HSG. I was so afraid because many women on www.fertilitycommunity.com explained that it was the most awful test ever!! So, I got myself mentally prepared for excruciating pain.

My Mom waited in the lobby as I was escorted to a changing room. Again, I was handed a beautiful 80's themed cotton gown with really cute booties! Then I walked with the nurse to a different room with a very large x-ray machine. I was asked to lay down on the table until the Dr. came in. He was very polite and explained the procedure to me. He said the procedure shouldn't hurt too terribly bad but I know what the girls on the forum said, so I was not convinced. The doctor inserted a catheter in me and then said he started to insert the dye. The nurse turned a monitor to me so that I may see the dye enter my uterus and fallopian tubes. The pain was not that bad for me. It felt like really bad menstrual cramps but I always have bad cramps during my cycle so maybe all those years prepared me for this test! :) I asked if the doctor saw any problems. The doctor said my tubes and my uterus were perfect and looked great!! That is probably why I did not have any pain because my tubes were not blocked.

Great News!! We are on our way to the next step!! I am continuing to take Birth Control and the next appointment is scheduled for 5/6. If all is well, I will start Lupron then!

More to come....
