I know how you feel about going under. I felt scared too as I'd never been put unconscious by anyone before (I've done it myself plenty of times though as I often faint with injections!). But the staff at the hospital were so nice and put me right at ease - the anaethetist came and said exactly what he would do, and the nurse who accompanied me to the theatre was really nice. They just kept reassuring me the whole time and they would look after me really well, and they did. They put a needle in my hand, the anaethetist asked me how I felt and I said 'a bit dizzy' and the next thing I was waking up. Piece of cake! I didn't have any nausea either some people get.
Yes I got my tubes flushed just to check that they were ok and she checked for endometriotis and for anything else that might get in the way of a pregnancy. I'm not sure if an ultrasound can check for blocked tubes. I'm glad I had it done, it's good to get it checked out and to know that it's all fine down there, or if there is something wrong it's good to know too so you can do something about it. It's also important to feel comfortable with your specialist. We first saw a guy who we weren't happy with at all - he didn't give you much information and was quite insensitive. So we were recommended to another one and she's much better. So be fussy!
