Introduction
Hi!
My HCG level was 0 on Monday (and O-time isn't quite here yet) so I was able to have my sonohysterogram yesterday.
I got the the doctor's office 15 minutes early (yes, I am anal) and they actually brought me to the room 10 minutes before my appointment (there was no one else there!). Of course I had to sit covered with a stupid and useless paper sheet for 10 minutes. ;)
Anyway, Dr. H came in and chit-chatted with me. He then started the procedure. I thought I was going to DIE when he injected the saline. It was awful and once was not enough. Oh no, the procedure which seriously took 1-2 minutes at RE #1 this time lasted for like 10 minutes. During which time he repeatedly injected more and more saline. The cramps were unbelievable (and being a MORON I didn't take any Motrin beforehand because the last one was such a piece of cake). I kept my eyes closed the whole time (I couldn't see the screen anyway) and tried to breathe. They kept asking I were ok and I could barely squeak out a "yes". I just wanted to die.
Finally he was done and then the grossness ensued. I had saline gushing out of me...so freaking nasty (hey, at least I can pretend I know what it feels like when your water breaks). I said "Please tell me that's the water" and he and the nurse laughed and apologized. Smart @ss me then said "No, I'm sorry about your rug!" ;) So of course I then get up and it's not just water--there was a lot of blood too (damn catheters). At least the pain stopped once the procedure was over...
We then went to his office and he said that he thinks everything is ok, but he can't tell 100%. So tomorrow I'm going to have a hysteroscopy (joy) and Tuesday I'm to have a pelvic MRI. I heard him tell the nurse that they are looking for a septum--now I'm not sure if he thinks I have this (which is bad) or if he just wants to 100% rule it out. I asked about a lap. and he's not ready to go there yet...
As for the other questions I had--he doesn’t think there's much value in doing more immune testing (there are some obscure tests that I haven't had done) since they wouldn't treat those even if the results were off. Same for my thyroid antibodies (no treatment). I also asked about doing a Clomid challenge and he said that he doesn't think it's needed given my age, response, and excellent embryo quality, but if I want it I can do it. Not sure if I do right now...I asked about the EFT and he said he's still thinking about it. He's so funny...he kept saying "[last name] you ask all the right questions and find all the right research." Awwwww. Oh, and I asked if he got my e-mail and he was like "Yeah...didn't I respond?" He felt so bad that he hadn't and told me to e-mail him whenever I have any questions and if he doesn't reply just send him a reminder. I told him he was going to regret that offer. ;)
As usual, he did the arm touch and looked deep into my eyes. Sucker that I am, I went home and made him cookies (two kinds, actually).
