Well John and I went to DC for some testing. I will say again process is totally different this time my pretesting with the last clinic was a vaginal ultrasound where the Dr. looked at everything then said yep it all looks good we can proceed with the process. Well not so this time I had a mock transfer which was no big deal except that they told me to drink 64 oz of fluid, though I only got 45-50 down they do the ultrasound and he tells me your bladder is too full I can't see the uterus. You need to go to the restroom and count to 20 stop peeing and come back. That is easier said than done but I did it. Next I had a HSG where they inject saline and air mixture to check the flow in your uterus and tubes. That didn't hurt but I had some terrible cramps for a while after that procedure. I went back for day two of the appointment got a routine physical and a hysteroscopy, where they take live pics of the inside of your reproductive organs, with all the testing the doctor decided he wanted to scrape part of my uterine lining. He said it was thicker than he would like to see it that he would just take part of it off to hopefully help our odds of success this time. The nurse told me most women that have had children don't really feel a thing. Apparently they were all on drugs or I am not most women because it hurt really bad. It took all I had to not come up off the table it was so painful that we had to sit in the car for a while before I could even function. I then had to pee in a cup tried twice and couldn't. So I came back an hour and a bottle of water later and went but half of it went in the toilet so it was still not enough. Came back two hours later and filled the whole cup up and probably had a whole cup in the toilet so it was a success. The worst part about the trip was this time I rented a car and had to drive there those people are freaking crazy there! But with all that being said I would do all of this again to reach the goal of this taking this time!
