Well I got to this appointment early. Around 2:35 and checked in. Filled out the paperwork and got situated. By the time I went back to the room, undressed, got on the table, did the exam, went to the restroom to clean up and get dressed again the time frame was just under 15 minutes. Not bad, huh? I wish.
I took 3 ibuprofen before I left to the appointment. I listened to Christmas music on the way over-to try and soothe my nerves! lol Got undressed and laid on the table. The technician was awesome and talked me through it.
It started off as a regular annual exam. They inserted the little clicker thing and then inserted the LONG 12" catheter! I'm glad I didn't see it at first. I would have flipped the "f" out. Anyway, I could feel it a little bit. I could feel her digging (or whatever she was doing!!) around. It was a bit uncomfortable. It seemed like she inserted the catheter 3 times(and you better believe it made me lose my breath and jump about 10 inches off the table)....which makes me nervous about the results. What if my uterus is tilted? Anyway...she had me scoot back on the table and look at the computer screen. I saw the dye (couldn't feel it, thank goodness!) and had me roll over to my left and then again to my right. Everything *looked* good but then again I'm not sure because she didn't say anything. I will find out results either tomorrow or at my Dr's appointment on Friday.
Now I'm sitting here at home, cramping, spotting, and being baby'd by my husband! :) He went out and got dinner and cleaned up afterwards all the while I got to lay on the couch watching tv and surfing the web. :)
I have a tilted uterus, or "retroverted" as it is medically referred to as, mine though is most likely related to my endo and is "mobile" according to my doctor, because sometimes it's in the normal position and sometimes it's tilted. I was really worried about it being tilted, but from the research I did, and from what I asked my doctor, she said a retroverted uterus isn't really a concern and shouldn't interfere with fertility, or at least that's what I was told. HTH! And good luck with the results of the HSG!
