So yesterday I had my first two tests done for the IVF process. I had the Mock Embryo Transfer and the Sonohistogram. Now I was told by some that it would be uncomfortable but for the most part it felt like a pap-smear. OK well for the ladies who said it felt like a pap-smear, YOU WERE WRONG!! Now don't get me wrong, I got through it because it was nice and short and the doctor I had did not mess around. But it had to be the most uncomfortable thing that I have had down there ever. I'm being honest because every person I talked to sugar coated it for me, but I don't sugar coat. It felt like a pap-smear x10 (the pressure you feel with a pap mostly), a trans vaginal ultrasound (same pressure with that) and being catheterized all at the same time!!! I did have a little spotting last night and then this morning which they said was normal and today I feel crampy like I should be expecting my period but other than that I feel fine. I will tell you that I was supposed to have vaginal cultures done before this procedure to check for any infections or anything like that but when I called to schedule I was not told this. But since I dont have any infections and I was put on the short course of antibiotics before hand the doctor went ahead with the procedure anyway. But for those of you who are gettting this done, make sure to do the cultures before hand.
Next I have an appointment with my doctor to discuss the IVF protocol and that is in early december, so until then!!!
Bye
