Hey Nikki
Thought id add my two cents. I had an HSG at the beginning of all my FT to check my tubes, im pretty sure your gp could refer you for one and it is done at an x ray place. You are generally given some form of pain relief and antispasmotic before you have it done, i had an ibuprofen type pessarie about half an hour before. I wouldnt say it painful, but it is uncomfortable and you can watch them on the xray screen as they insert the dye. In answer to your question i do think it may ahve gone in the wrong place as you are right if it doesnt go through the tubes it would stay in your uterus and slowly leak out when you go to the loo etc. not just go into the abdominal cavity. definately sounds abit suss.
sorry nikki i just read that you went to your GP dont know how i missed that bit (blonde moment) i will leave this info on here though as it may help
i wouldnt worry too much (yes easier said than done) but if hes put it in the wrong place to begin with then the test would be totally inaccurate. also like smithy i only have one tube left and had IVF and am happy to say im 32 weeks pregnant so it can still happen tubes or no tubes. Good luck and i hope you get some answers soon.
Amy - yeah my GP is great ... I went in there today saying, i dont know if u can help BUT (blah blah all abt the lap etc) was just really nice to have a chat to someone i do trust and knows what they are talking abt... he even showed me pic's lol.... was good
Scooby - thanks ... yeah thats what i thought too, that the dye would stay in my uterus... gosh i had the worst weekend worrying sick about all this and it turns out it was in the wrong spot ... i am still worried abt blocked tubes tho because GP also said the dye should have went in to the tubes while i had the curette... i dunno tho.. i will just have to wait and see i guess
I'm glad u left this info here.... it all helps
Congratulations on being 32 weeks..... wow not long to go now
OK - One more question if i may .... I think AF has arrived.. its pretty much on time.. i'm CD27 or something like that which i get AF from CD26 till CD36..... anyway... My AF seems super light and a fair bit of oldish blood..... is still normal??? This afternoon its getting more red (sorry if TMI)
What was all you girls AF like after your LAP????
Even tho i know i wont get any real answers that i need (like are my tubes blocked or what) i think i'll feel alot better after i have a proper chat to my GYNO
Your more than Welcome Nikki, just go in with an open mind and ask as many questions as you need to.
Maybe write a list tonight on the main things you want to cover.
Rememeber no question is silly and if it gives you peace of mind to ask you have nothing to loose.
