On a scale of 1-10, Guess how much I don't like booties, hair nets, and ugly gowns? 20. Bleh.
So- I realized I was pretty emotionally raw when I wrote my last blog post.
I don't deal well with bad surprises. I freeze up, get overwhelmed, freak out, then eventually work through it, and get over it. (Sometimes) And I usually write these blog posts after things have happened, so I have some perspective. That last one I just wrote in the middle of it. But I'm not that emotional all the time. Just sometimes.
On Monday, I had 2 more procedures done. The Sonohysterogram (where they inject saline soluntion into your uterus. They can measure it and look for polyps and fibroids.) And the HSG (Hysterosalpingogram)- where they inject dye into the uterus and Fallopian tubes and x-ray it to check for blockages and see how everything looks. You're supposed to take 4 Advil an hour before the procedure. It's uncomfortable, but it's not painful.
They did these 2 procedures in the out-patient surgery center, which didn't help my anxiety. When I had these done last year at my other infertility doctor's office, they just did them in a special room in the office. (They do these once a year.) :P!!!!
The good news is... nothing has grown back since my surgery last year. Everything still looks good for the transfer.
I get one more procedure the Monday after Christmas. (an Endometrial Disruption). This helps to increase the IVF pregnancy success rate.
So... that's where we're at so far!
