Mrs Red and Clomid never became friends.... So on to the HSG!

So I'm going to try to recall my clomid treatments while heating up soup from last night....

I think I mostly summed it up in my crappy doctor quest but maybe I can go into more detail.

Metformin.... God I hated metformin! They told me to take 3 pills (don't remember the dose) and that made me soooooo sick. Might want to skip this section if your eating r sensitive to nasty stuff! Lol anyways so it made my stomach cramp, gave me crazy headaches and the runs like no ones business.... Oh and constant nausea ! No bueno... (not good for you non spanish speakers) so I asked the doctor and he said to knock down the dose to one pill for a week then split it up one pill in the am and one at lunch for a week then go to 3 pills the next week... Ok one that was complicates but I tried it. Still stomach problems at one pill but not unbearable but as soon as we went to 2 forget it. So he said just try one pill... When I passed out at work he said fine I can stop it but that the clomid wasn't going to work. He was kind of a jerk about it too... But I guess the jerk was right because after 10 rounds of clomid split up over 2 years it never worked....

After my last round of clomid my 3rd gyn we'll call him Dr3 said for us to try an HSG test so that he could send it to the RE.

The HSG hurt... It was very uncomfortable, like Shannon mentioned, the room was freeeeeezing!!! Wear socks! I was so worried because they said I couldn't be bleeding and of course my body didn't want to cooperate! Why would it... I bled up to the morning of the exam... I went anyway because it was just spotting... As soon as I checked in I went to the rr to check and no more blood, YES! So I wait n wait because nowhere I schedule anything is ever on time... Why would they be? It's just Steph! Anyway, so they call me back and have me change an so I check again and still no blood :-) so I change and in nervous, the room is cold an I don't know any of these doctors doing the test... They used a plastic thingy and then inserted the catheter thingy which pinched and hurt... They kept telling me to relax but... Yeah between the cold, my nerves, the strangers, and the discomfort that was hard so they went slower... Then came the due and omg that hurt as it pushed trough! But both sides were clear :-) they said to take some Motrin because I would probably cramp and bleed and oh did I cramp, I was so glad I took the rest of that day off of work!

"a little pinch" and "some slight discomfort" are 2 phrases I will no longer trust from doctors! LoL
