Happy to report I survived the HSG. I was really nervous, even on the verge of vomiting. Everything is really a blur to me. We had to wait awhile for the doctor but then they took us back into a room (fotunately Troy was able to be with me.) I laid down on an x-ray table and it was exactly like a yearly exam, except with an x-ray above me and about 3 more people in the room! They told me to lay back and the last thing I remember seeing is Troy's face through the window. I had to smile, all I could think was "Great, Troy's got a front row seat to everything!" Later he told me he really couldn't see anything. I laid back and the doctor told me to relax my legs, as he inserted the speculum. Then he said I'd feel a little pinch as he inserted the other thing into my cervix. I certainly felt a pinch! There was no major pain, it was just incredibly uncomfortable. I had expected him to say "Ok, we're insertig the dye now" but he never did. They had some technical difficulties and just as I was about to tell them I couldn't take the cramping anymore, I felt a huge relief and the doctor says "Ok, we're done!" I got up and he showed me on the screen, I personally had no idea what I was looking at other than my ovaries and uterus,but he said everything was normal.
When we got into the car, Troy told me what it looked like for him. He could see the thing they inserted into my cervix, he could see the dye flowing through. He said it looked like my left tube was blocked because the dye seperated once it got past my uterus and on one side it kept going, on the other side it seemed to stop. That was what I figured would happen since I've had lower Progesterone levels when I cramp on the left side, but the doctor said it was all normal, so I'm going to trust him over Troy. I have an ultrasound Monday so hopefully I can talk to him a little bit more. This test we had hoped would give us some answers, has only created more questions!
