I don't have tons to update today, but I wanted to let you all know that the HSG test went pretty well. Thanks for praying with me. :)
Our follow-up isn't scheduled until the beginning of August, so I can't say for sure, but I feel pretty confident that there are no blockages. Praise the Lord! I got to watch the x-ray screen as the dye flowed and it definitely went all the way to the end of my tubes, so at the very least, there are no complete blockages.
The experience in and of itself was also not as terrible as I was anticipating. Check-in lady was r.u.d.e. and made me want to cry (and maybe I did... a little) but the doctor and nurse actually doing the procedure were very competent and quick and soon it was all over.
I also felt no pain which seemed like a miracle to me. Every single person I talked to told me to make sure I took some medicine for the pain and that there might be some mild cramping or bleeding. One lady even told me that she could feel all the dye going in because it burned. Scary! (I'm thinking now maybe she had an allergy or sensitivity to the dye.)
On any account, the procedure was painless for me and I attribute that highly to all the prayers that my family and friends were offering up on my behalf. Thank you!
The next step for me is to get some blood work done and then go to my follow-up in August so we can piece all the test results together and see what our options are. Hopefully, I will have some more positive news to post soon.
