4/13/11 - Die, Dye!

The morning of April 13th, I am a wreck. I have to get my HSG test to see if my fallopian tubes are blocked. Matt is able to take me to the Mercy Hospital for the procedure. We get there early and have to wait in the cold x-ray room. I am so blessed that Matt is here for me, but still nervous about this procedure. Dr.Fleming gets here and the x-ray tech arrive. I climb up on the huge table and the nurse helps me get as comfortable as possible. Dr.Fleming says it won't take long and to relax. Well, thank goodness Matt was there to hold my hand. The process was so incredibly painful! From inserting the catheter to when the dye was released! I had never felt anything like that. I actually cried it hurt so bad and I prayed that it would end! Later on I would read that if the dye gets pushed in to quickly, you get the severe, but quick cramping pains I got. Make sure your doc does this very, very, very slowly! LOL

The good news about this procedure is that you get your results right away. The x-rays show everything. I was able to see my uterus and the dye showed us that my tubes were squeaky clean! However, there was a little white finger looking thing on the inside of my cervix going into my uterus. Oh no! Turns out I have a polyp that Dr.Fleming thinks may be preventing me from getting pregnant or reducing our chances of those little guys from getting past my uterus.

We determined the next step. That little polyp has got to go. We schedule the surgery for May 12th. I'll have to go under for this one, something I've never done before. Keeping a positive attitude, I know God is walking us down the plan for this baby and eliminating any possible obstacles along the way!
