Hysterosalpingogram (HSG)

Hello Friends,

Sorry that I didn't check in yesterday. I was away for work over the weekend and my travels home took much longer than planned and I was wiped!

This morning had me experiencing my first bought of hormones on this round of clomid. I wouldn't solely blame it on the hormones, but they did play a big part. I had my hysterosalpingogram (HSG) done today and I was a bit nervous about it. Not sure what the HSG test does? Well check it out here.

The test wasn't completely horrible but it also wasn't all sunshine and bubblegum either.

From what I could see, the dye flowed through my fallopian tubes just fine but you never know what the final results will say. I should hear from my doctor in 2-3 days so here's hoping we get some answers.

It's funny, I texted my family to let them know the test was over and that I could see things flowing through just fine. They were excited to hear that and figured it was a positive result. I don't necessarily see it that way. I explained that if I had had some sort of blockage, it would explain why we haven't been successful. Now it depends on what the results of the test are, but we *could* be back at square one.

The plan right now is to look in to accupuncture as my OBGYN recommended as well as find a therapist for me and have my husband look into a male infertility specialist. Most of that is going to have to wait a bit though as I am back on the road for work the next few days and need to focus on my responsibilities there.

I will do my best to finish our journey's story tomorrow. Tonight I must finish so I can get to bed. I am noticing I am much more exhausted these days and I wonder if it is a side effect of the clomid. That is not a confirmed side effect. It could also be the emotional aspect that exhausts me. Either way, I need to get to bed sooner rather than later.

Good night ~ Ms Infertile
