OUCH!

I had a Saline Infusion Sonogram yesterday and all I have to say is OUCH!  I had a HSG in January 2010 and I had some mild discomfort but the saline sonogram was painful for me. 

The procedure literally took 5 minutes - the doctor inserted the speculum then the other stuff (balloon, saline, catheter etc) and I think it was during this that he bumped the speculum or something moved a little and I got some sharp pains.  I also started to feel nauseous, something I rarely ever feel (thank goodness).  He then inserted the ultrasound probe and we were able to see my uterus fill with saline (it appeared black on the screen vs the tissue that appeared more white.  It was all over quickly, thank goodness.  When I sat up there was a gush of the saline that came out too, fun.

It has been almost 24 hours since the procedure and this morning when I woke up I felt pain down there.  It is kindof like premenstrual cramps but a little different.  I see tylenol in my future today.

The Doc said everythig looked ok - no polyps or fibroids or anything . . . just add this to my long list of tests that came back normal.

Oh and I did get my Homocysteine results back - I had a 5 and the normal range is 4-15.  I asked the doc since it was on the low end of normal and he said it was OK if it was low since they only worry about it if it is high.  Hmph.
