I am so happy to be participating in ICLW again! It's been so long. I am excited and hopeful to connect with some new peeps. I keep losing followers, so I hope to gain some new ones. Pull up a chair and stay awhile. Feel free to snoop around and get to know me better.
Here is the quick and dirty version.
My husband and I have been married since June 2009. We've been trying to make a baby since then. Obviously, we've had zero success.
I have PCOS. I don't ovulate. So that sucks.
I have a doctor appointment on Thursday to talk about getting an HSG which I am terrified of.
So that's about it.
So happy to meet some new lovely ladies.
Just over from ICLW (#34). The HSG isn't so bad, just make sure to take a good dosage of Ibuprofen beforehand.
ReplyDeleteCame over from ICLW :)
ReplyDeleteI agree - take ibuprofen in advance. Mine wasn't so bad, I was expecting something terrible and it really wasn't. There was a pinch when they put the catheter in that was kind of painful/weird (being pinched on the inside is a bizarre feeling) but the actual procedure felt like a menstrual cramp, and then it felt like menstrual cramps for a while after that.
The *scariest* part for me was going into the room where they did it. I had to put my feet in stirrups that looked like astronaut boots and then the huge camera came down - it was like being in an alien space ship!
Hi! Visiting from ICLW as well. My HSG was a breeze. The weirdest part was being in this huge room in the hospital with all sorts of scary looking apparatuses. I didn't have any pain and it was no worse than a PAP for me. Maybe I was lucky?
ReplyDeleteP.S. Your blog is so cute!
ReplyDeleteHey! Dropped in for a visit via ICLW. We definitely have a lot in common w/ our PCOS and lack of cycles. Hang in there. I know quite a few women who have done an HSG and they only reported some mild cramping. Look forward to following your journey.
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower and love you!! No advice on making the babies, but here to listen, learn & support ya! You're amazing!
ReplyDeleteI've been trying since October2009...also no babies :( I had an hsg and it wasn't too bad. Sort of like a longer, more uncomfortable pap smear. Good luck with it. ..fingers crossed all is clear!
ReplyDeletehi from ICLW
ReplyDeleteThe HSG isn't too terrible. If you do have a blockage it causes some cramping, but goes away once the procedure is done. Just take some ibproufen or something with you!! Good luck!
