So, today is CD 2 and I am feeling much better now that AF has arrived. There is still cramping and back pain but it is a piece of cake compared to the last couple days. Goodness, all of this just makes me stop and think just how truly amazing women are built! I will never again take myself for granted.
I begin Clomid supplements on CD 6, 12/19/11 through 12/23/11. I am a bit nervous about the side effects but I feel I can handle them all. Here's hoping round number 1 works! :)
Now that AF arrived and is here for a bit, I was able to schedule the HSG test (hysterosalpingogram). I'm set to have that done on Tuesday, 12/20/11. This is the part that has me a nervous wreck. I recently did a little research and found a website that describes the procedure step-by-step. It's quite invasive *down there* and the part that scares me the worst is the dilating of the cervix. It doesn't sound pleasant at all. We've all had a spectrum down there, so that's rather normal, although still uncomfortable. Then I hear they put a clamp in? That reminds me of putting those clothes hangers on something sensitive... ouch! Then comes the dye injection. I hear it's mainly just uncomfortable unless the tubes are blocked and then it's painful. Either way, I am taking some painkillers beforehand. Whether I take a full-blown narcotic or an Ibuprofen 800 is still undecided.
I'm just worried about it all to be honest.... I'm not sure which will hurt worse; the procedure or the results? Fingers crossed that they are not blocked and that I receive nothing but good news!
Anyway now that I've made myself sick to my stomach, I better hop off of here and go do something productive!
XoXo
