Results

I had my HSG and ultrasound. The results came in showing that my uterus tilts forward slightly more than normal- but still technically just a variation of normal. The cyst on my left ovary is still there but its only 2 cm and the Dr. is not concerned by it. And the HSG showed that I have an arcuate uterus meaning the top of it arcs down a little bit. It isn't something that requires surgery to fix, thank goodness, but it is something that the dr. thinks will make it more difficult to get pregnant. I also still have the risk of preterm labor and miscarriage when I do eventually become pregnant, but they are less likely than originally thought. So I'm supposed to finish this pack of birth control and then try again for 3 more months before going back to the Dr. and discussing our next steps. I was so nervous for the HSG because I've heard how painful it is and how people have cried, screamed and had to be held down. My legs were literally shaking while I waited to get all set up. Once the catheter was inserted the radiologist had me rolling into different positions and while doing that my fingertip got pinched in the side of the bed. Lucky for me that was the most painful part of the whole process. Every time he reached to inject more dye I tensed up and he finally said "ok, now I'm going to..." and I was like Oh no, here it comes he's gonna tell me its gonna hurt but he finished with "take out the catheter and we'll be all done." Apparently since my tubes were clear it cause no pain for me. I felt extremely bloated later that night but that was the extent of it.
