HSG Appointment Today

I'm a little bit nervous in having my appointment today. I've heard that HSG will hurt and its uncomfortable, but i gotta do it! I am also doing more bloodwork today because my prolactin hormone was a little elevated. This time they wanted me to not eat or drink anything before the blood test. My HSG is at 11:30 today and im suppose to arrive 20 minutes early. Good thing my Aunt is coming with me just in case i get bad cramps after.

I almost couldn't go today because of my boss but i told her that i was still going no matter what. I forgot to let HR know about my upcoming appointments. I didn't think it was going to be a big deal as long as i let my boss know, then she could have called HR but i did apologize about it so they finally let me take today off.

I have another appointment this Thursday if ever they get the bloodwork results back before then. If not we will have to reschedule it. I cannot wait to know the results! I just hope nothing else is wrong with my body. The good news is when i had my ultrasound last week, the Doctor said that the fibroid was still the same size and its not too close to the uterus and it will make the surgery easier. I'll try to be back to post my HSG experience. God Bless everyone!

The Red Ugly Witch showed up

Yes i know Holloween is over, lol. I called my monthly period the Red Ugly Witch because i hated it everytime she showed up when i was trying to get pregnant, but this month is different. I couldn't wait for her to show her ugly face! Why? If you are following my blog you probably know about my miscarriages. I had 2 of them. They found fibroids as big as tennis ball on my uterus. My doctor refereed me to a RE which we went to see last month. I was hoping to hear about when the surgery would be to remove the fibroids but unfortunately we can't do it right away. According to her its not advisable to get the fibroids removed right after a miscarriage because i would bleed very hard and would lead to hysterectomy, which means "removing my uterus". We don't want that to happen, that would be the end of me. She also doesn't want to think that its just the fibroids that were causing the miscarriages. She wants to make sure that there are no other causes, i didn't have fibroids in my first pregnancy. Now, she wants to do some tests on me, check my thyroid, do an HSG, and some blood draw. I'm supposed to get all this tests done on the 1st or 2nd day of my period that is why i was happy to get my period today!!!!! I called the RE's office today and was scheduled to go in this Wednesday. I thought that will be the 3rd day but they said it doesnt matter so i guess its fine.
I just hope and pray that the only problem are the fibroids and nothing else because we can always get the fibroids removed.
