The appointment went well, I have to go and basically have dye into my uterus and filopian tubs as well as overies and then be x-rayed to check and make sure everything looks good to even hold a pregnancy… Its supposed to be some what painful… sigh… I am going to do it but i get so nurvous and freaked out when i her that things will hurt… Johnny has to get his “stuff” analised just because its good to rule that out as a problem and make sure everything on his side is working.
Also I sugessted losing weight and she said definetly and I need to go on a strick no sugar or flour diet… thats going to be oh so fun lol i can pretty much eat anything that grows in my yard but anything else… i dont think so. No I am kidding I can have chicken and unbreaded fish and I need to excersice at least 1 hour per day. She also said I should look into yoga, which is funny because I have been saying I am going to take a yoga class forever now. So I am thinking that next month I may actually do it. I just hope I can lose weight and keep up with my diet! This is important to Johnny and I and we both feel ready for a baby. I am really hoping to lose about 25 - 30 pounds before getting pregnant… however my weight loss goal for the moment is 10lbs…

If the dye thing is the histosalpingograph deal or HSG whatever it’s really called I’m not sure because I’ve had it called several different things by different docs before, but if that’s what it is the most important part is to stay calm.
I was extremely freaked out. I wanted to pass out and I was crying. It hurt like hell probably because of that very reason. I had a nice med student doing it and she was very gentle, I just didn’t like the whole idea of balloon inserted into me and making me feel very very full or something beyond what I’ve ever felt before. BUT you have been pregnant so this might not be very big of a deal for you.
I was so freaked out that they think that my uterus contracted from it and caused me to have inconsistent test results. So yeah try to be calm and it should all go very well.
I wish I’d have asked if my husband could have gone back with me. Not sure if they allow it, but it would help to have someone holding your hand. It seemed pretty major to me at the time.
I also think you can take something before like tylenol or naproxen I would check, because I bled pretty bad immediately after they took it out.
I’m sorry for you, but I think this is the most precise test that will figure out your problem!!!!

I was wondering if they would let some one go hold your hand or something so you dont feel so alone… I think support from some one you are comfortable with would be a big help. I am really freaked out but I know I really need to do this and once its over its over…
Thank you for your insite too its nice to hear from some one who went through it.
Also I think fertility is a delicate subject and anything like this feels huge and is very nerve wracking…

I know that for me if I would have had my husband or even my best friend back there just holding my hand or talking to me I’d have not overreacted as badly. Yeah it hurts, but you have birthed a child so I’m sure that you aren’t going to think it is as bad as I did.
For some reason everything they ended up doing to me was very painful and I always bled a ton. Most women don’t even bleed with those things.
I know that was one of my first things I had to do and then after that everything else seemed like a piece of cake. I just had to keep telling myself well after this is over they pretty will know what is going on in there.
But I also wanted to tell you that I had a friend who had like 10 miscarriages and she saw a spcecialist for endomitriosis and he was telling her that the thought he could strengthen her uterus to carry a child. So really even if that is one of your problems it sounds like they can fix it with time and some drugs. I guess they can fix just about anything.
Good luck!!!
