These blogs concerning infertility will have a lot of TMI, I want others to not feel alone and to now that these things can be talked about.

After the fourth month of chlomid it was decided that I go see an RE (reproductive endocrinologist). I called to make an appointment discussed my history, and it was decided that I did not need to get a HSG test, and just some ultra sounds and follow up blood work.
While I was waiting to get into the RE, I had just finished my fourth round of chlomid prior to that, I have an unexplainable pain near my lower abdomen on my right side. I am standing in the kitchen at work when the pain hits me and I drop to the floor. I remember one of my co-workers asking if she needed to call 911. This pain was bad! Remember I have been through child birth once, this pain was very, very bad. From a scale from 1-10 it was a 20, labor was a 6 or 7. I rest in my office chair, and give Matt a call to let him know what was going on. By the time I was off work it was a mild pain, so I stopped by target on the way home. I walked to the back of the store and stopped, called Matt and told him the pain was back and I didn't know how I was going to make it back to the front of the store. Needless to say I figured something out and headed home to lay down. The next morning I call my OBGYN's office and they get me in right away. They did an exam, I told me to come back the next day for an ultra sound, telling me nothing before i left. I go back the next morning and found out I had a cyst in my ovary rupture, and then filled up with blood. OUCH!! What does this mean??? Not sure so I called the RE's office and they got the information from the ultra sound.
I go to my RE appointment the next week with my mom. It was just an evaluation so we thought we should save the time for Matt's work for when we would really need it. I got an ultra sound at the RE's office she found the cyst. I said I can wait, I want to feel better before I start any other drugs. The RE does an exam. Then we go into his office. He tells me I need to go on the pill to shrink the cyst, this works 9 out of 10 times. Because of the rupture I have to get an HSG on the 3rd to 5th day of my period. I was bummed about all of this because I heard the test was painful. I also had to get blood work for a pregnancy test. Of coarse it was negative.
I prepped for my HSG test. I went to the hospital, I felt like I waited an eternity for them to call me back. I lay there on the cold table as the doctor inserts a catheter to inject dye into my uterus. As the dye filled my uterus I watched the screen as the dye fills up my uterus and spills into my body. All is clear no blockage or damage from the cyst. Now I have to start my period again call the office and proceed.
The next entry will be my journey with all the infertility drugs, ultra sounds, etc...
