HSG X-Ray Study Update

Well, I survived. For anyone who wonders what this procedure is like I'll do my best to recap my afternoon:

~1pm: Take motrin tablets
~2pm: Took one Xanax for anxiety
~3pm: Showed upto Iowa Radiology and...
- changed into a gown
- led to xray room and begins much like a pap
- then feel more pressure and receive dye
- dye caused intense cramping for approx 3-4 minutes
- cleaned up and allowed to redress
~3:40: Left the office and came home

I would say on a level of 1-10 (10 being worst pain imaginable) it was about a 6. I've had much worse procedures but still this one ranks in the list of "glad it's over, don't want to do it again."

Best news: Everything is open and we are ready to start another round of Femera this next cycle. *hugs* Thanks for the well wishes here as well as in my email box.
