Hey girls,
I got some bad news today, and I needed to vent. DH doesn't understand, you know men, so here I am. He and I planned a lovely romantic runaway 4 day weekend this past weekend, we ran away to Memphis and stayed at the Peabody for our 5 year anniversary which was Friday, and visited my uncle in town there. Anyway, AF made her visit Friday utterly squashing my romantic swanky evening. Put me in some kind of mood you can imagine. Luckily I drowned my sorrows the rest of the weekend in my uncle's homemade beers. Though dh's been having work issues too, so we both relaxed to the beer.
I got home yesterday, and thrown back into the throws of the working world, I called my doc this morning for to order another round of Clomid, to start today, since it's my day 5, but I was thinking I needed to go back to 50, I tried 100 this time around and I didn't ovulate, not really, my temps did this little bunny hop thing 3 days up then down, then tried again, and no, then I started ragging. I faxed them my charts from this month and last and the nurse called. Apparently my doc put in my chart that if I didn't get pg by the end of summer to give me an HSG. The sub assumed I'd done this, but Becky hadn't even brought it up to me. So, she's on vacation and with my questions, the doc in her place decided I need to have it. I know I'm babbling, but so, since the timing is right, this week, they've decided to do this procedure Friday. And they told me no clomid this month. That's the kicker, I am losing a month, and I just feel like I don't know what to do. I feel like I'm losing control, that I'm not the one fighting, by being told not to try this month, I feel like something has been taken away. Does anyone else feel this?
I told dh, about this procedure, I'm nervous, I'm not really sure what to expect, he was useless. I'm also a pretty modest person, and the idea of a roomful of folks, not my doctor digging around makes me queasy. I really trust my doc, she's a family friend, and 90% of my nerves are resultant that it's strangers, I think, I hope, but then again, I just don't want this, but yet at the same time, I'm curious to know the results. I have so much respect for you girls that have done this all before, and made it through the rain.
How many of you have had this HSG before? Can you describe it? I had a CT scan last year with dye injected into me, made me warm all over and I had to pee, and an MRI that did it too, but this is more quantity, and it scares me more. Will I be good to drive after, they talk about cramping, is it bad? I told my boss I'm not going to work, even though the appointment isn't until 12:30, I theoretically could go in, but I figure with my nerves, I'll be up all night, and will need a power nap, at the very least.
Anyway, I'm fairly nervous about the whole thing, and I just needed to vent. A lot. I had no idea we were taking this next step, and felt really caught off guard, calling in fora refill and I end up going in to get shot up, not my idea of a way to spend a day off. I really appreciate your input and your support.
Thanks,
Cathy
