My HSG didn't get done today. Apparently I was too far out of the window of "opportunity". The nurse was at best an ass about it, she got her back up about my question. What on earth is this so called window of opportunity and why it is imperative we get it done then. She eventually got the doctor who explained it to us. This was never communicated to DH and me before hand. I asked them to ring our FS and he agreed with the doctor.
My AF isn't regular and the doctor asked them to fit me in next time. For me to ring them 1st day of AF and they will book me in day 6,7 or 8. Which helps. But Im still a bit cross that someone didn't explain to us what the rules and window of opportunity.
So a 2 hour round trip wasted, day off work without pay, DH half a day without pay. All for nothing!!
And they got cross at me because when I had my Ultrasound I didn't have enough fluid in the bladder, and did a pelvic ultrasound instead. Not my fault the fluid didn't make it to my bladder by the time they called me in.
I'm sorry to hear that. The place I went to wouldn't do them after day 10 of a cycle and made this clear when I called to book in (although I already knew it needed to be between AF and O).
They can't do it during AF or after O because the dye could flush any remaining lining (during AF) or egg/embryo (after O) out through the tubes into the abdomen.
The doctor has told me next time Im to ring up the day of my AF arrival and they will fit me in day 6, day 7 or day 8. The only problem is I might be working nightshift those days.
The information of when it NEEDED to be done was never ever communicated to me. Well not till I got there, then the nurse told us. This is indicative of a country NSW hospital. I felt like crying.
Yet another stumbling block to starting IVF and our family. Yet another wait. It must feel like a huge waiting game to everyone doing IVF.
How annoying! I would be crossed too under the circumstance. Such a waste of time and of course another month of waiting! I feel for you!
Patience has never been my best virtue and I have to say now after TTC for 5 years, I am making a lot of progress in that area and I think I deserve a medal now. Try not to work yourself up and go with the flow...I hope it will go smoothly for the next round.
HSG's
