All Clear!

Today was my HSG test (to check my tubes). Overall it wasn't as bad as I remembered. Maybe the one I had 10 years ago hurt more? Or maybe I was just a big infertility rookie and didn't know any better. Either way, it wasn't as painful as I thought it would be, which was good since I forgot to take any ibuprofen before leaving the house.

My tubes are all clear which is great news because it means we can move forward with the mock cycle next month. There they are, aren't they pretty?? I'm not really sure what I'm looking at either, but the doctor seemed happy so that makes me happy.

I was able to (ahem) administer the suppository without any major issues. Although part of this may be because I was trying to hurry up and do it before my house cleaners arrived. The only thing worse than having to stick an antibiotic where the sun doesn't shine would be to have my Romanian house cleaners walk in on me while doing it. So in my panic to not be "caught" I forgot all about being horrified at the task in hand and just got on with it.

It was a good strategy because it kept me from spending a lot of time worrying about it and wondering if it would hurt. Which by the way, it didn't.

I ended up getting to the clinic early and though I would have to wait. But lucky for me they were able to see me early. The whole thing was over and done with in less than 10 minutes. The only yucky bit is that I have to wear a pad for the rest of the day in case there is any spotting. I hate pads! They crunch when I walk and I always feel like I'm wearing a diaper.

I am pretty wiped out now. I'm not sure if it's due to the huge dosage of antibiotics I had to take today or just the stress and anticipation of it all.

Phew, I'm glad that bit is over with.
