The HSG is done. The prelimenary report is that all is well! :-) Of course, that means there's no reason for us to not already be pregnant, but hopefully this will just clear the path.
The HSG wasn't as bad as the endometrial biopsy I had a few months back. It wasn't fun, though. They barely had to use any of the dye because it went through easily. It was really cool to watch (especially after the doctor deflated the balloon and it didn't hurt so badly anymore).
The doc and the nurse were tripping out because I knew more than most patients. They asked, "did your doctor tell you what to expect?" My response was, "You'll thread a catheter through my cervix, inject dye, and take x-rays. I did research." They were taken back by the fact that I had this knowledge. Apparently most people don't really know what goes on. It was cool, though! Don't get me wrong...I in no way want to go through it again.
Now I wait to see what this doctor says to my doctor (hopefully the oficial all-is-good) and what my FSH test showed. If all is good, Mr. W and I have agreed that if it doesn't happen this month, then it'll be Clomid for the next few months.
So the radiologist and my OB/Gyn have both informed me that this month my fertility should be improved (seriously? my fertility?) this month. They both told me to make sure and take advantage of it. I assured them both that I had my fertility monitor, my OPKs, and my calender...I'm good.
And it kind of just hit me...there is no reason that I shouldn't be pregnant right now. Yes, I have PCOS, but it hasn't seemed to affect my ovulation for the almost year that I've been using OPKs (except that one month). Mr. W's swimmers are good boys and look and do as they're supposed to. So what the hell is going on?
And I also felt something that I'm not used to yesterday and today. I'm angry. I'm mad as hell. I shouldn't have to have tests. I shouldn't have to pee on sticks for any reason other than to prove that I am indeed pregnant. I should be allowed to screw my husband and get pregnant like the majority of the population. We all should be able to. And I'm pissed off that this is not how it's worked. It's bullshit that drug addicts and other such indigents are able to get pregnant like it's nothing and so many of us have to work so hard for it. People get pregnant from one night stands and I haven't been able to make a baby with the man that I love. And I'm angry about it. Fuck.
But the HSG appeared good and I'm trying to focus on that. Happy thoughts...happy thoughts...happy thoughts...

I agree that it is totally unfair. I am mad about that at least once every day.
But it is good that things are looking good.
OH FAN-FREAKIN TASTIC!! I am so happy to hear all clear. Yes use that extra fert boost this month!
I am sorry you are angry - I know it's ok to be angry.
It's a phase, stage. I am just so happy that all is clear! I literally screamed a "heck ya" at my monitor .. could you hear it ?
I have made the exact same rant over and over again...Britney Spears, Nicole Richie, drug addicts, murderers...Yup - they can all get pregnant at the drop of a hat. But not us! IT SUCKS.
Yes, I have heard that the HSG can help with fertility for up to three months. Supposedly it cleans out the pipes or something....have fun with it!
I am happy that your HSG is all clear!
I'm glad the HSG went well and the tubes are clear! But yeah, the whole IF thing is completely and utterly unfair.
So glad your HSG went well! You are right that IF is just not fair. I hope the talk of higher fertility after an HSG works for you!
so glad that's over with! i hope you get nothing but good news (but then again, that can be annoying, too... not knowing what the frick is wrong.)
i'm with you on the anger. no matter how i try to think of it, i can't help but steam up over the injustice of it all. yeah, yeah, i know life isn't fair, but jamie spears, seriously? i heard a bad joke recently -- some rumor that jamie spears' fetus is pregnant. i know it's in poor taste, but i had to laugh... that's just how it feels sometimes!
Yay on the all clear! So glad it went OK--they told me that too the month of my HSG (good time to try) Are you kidding?! Im here getting the damn test b/c Im trying ALL the time!
Love the joke about JLS...hehe=)
I am glad it went well - and remember, fertility goes WAY up in the months following a HSG!
Glad to hear your HSG was cleared and wasn't very painful!
