So I had the hysterosonogram and my uterus looks fine. It was just as "uncomfortable" as I expected and it took 3 attempts and then a "I'm going to have to put the balloon inside your uterus because it won't stay put in the cervix - this might hurt a little" When a doctor says it will be uncomfortable it hurts, when they say it will hurt a little it hurts like hell, the first time a doctor says to me this well hurt like hell they had better be talking about having a baby.
Anyway, all that matters is that it is over and everything looks ok. Oh... that and the fact that I scored some Ativan for the biopsy. Doctor today was a lovely indian man who I estimate was in his late 40's early 50's. He might well have been the nicest doctor I have seen at my clinic (despite the fact that he hurt me!). He took the time to introduce himself first, ask me where I was in my treatment, and ask what are future plans were. He explained what he was doing the whole way through. And when it was over he asked if I always had trouble with doctor's appointments. He laughed when I said only when they want to get into my uterus. He suggested that I get pain medication for the biopsy and when I said I would ask, offered to go get some for me.
Today was cd 9 and my follicle (I actually have one) was not even half way grown so I don't have to go back for a follicle check until Sunday.
All I have to think of now is what I would like to do for my anniversary on Saturday - any suggestions?

I am sorry that it was just as uncomfortable as you were thinking. Wow your anniversary is Saturday. My suggestion is drive to a little town about an hour away and stay in a nice bed and breakfast. I love doing that with my DH.
I am sorry to hear that it was uncomfortable, but I am sure you are glad that is over with! Happy Anniversary..I hope you guys will have a fantastic day!
It's always lovely to have a nice doctor.
Happy Anniversary! How is the weather? Go for a romantic picnic somewhere.
I'm glad your uterus looks fine and that you had a nice Doctor and I'm sorry that it was uncomfortable for you. Whatever you do for your anniversary I hope it's a special, happy time for you and your sweetheart.
It sounds awful. Amanda at manana banana has the same problem. More drugs is clearly the answer.
I've just read through your archives, and I wanted to say don't despair. You had a miscarriage, which is awful, but it doesn't mean that it will happen again. Sometimes the embryos that are put back just aren't genetically able to survive. You can't tell until you get there.
The one set of tests that you might want to get your doctor to do is the miscarriage panel of bloodwork - the clotting factors, karyotyping etc. This will tell you if some mutation in you is affecting your ability to carry the pregnancy - or if there is something in your chromosomes which makes it hard to get genetically 'normal' embryos, like a translocation.
Do email me if you want more details.
Hi Krista! Thanks for outing yourself on my blog so I can meet a fellow NS'er. Even if you are transplanted for the moment. And thanks for your care and concern re: Big Dawg. I'll update soon on what's going on there.
I'm going to have to spend time in your archives to get to 'know' you a bit more. Happy early anniversary (ours is the 22nd). Did you marry a Dartmouth boy too?
Glad you've got the HSG over and done with.
Hope you had a lovely anniversary- did you think of something fun to do?
