and life is good

Went to the doctor yesterday morning.  Everything looks good.  However I have to have an HSG test.  What is that…..

What is a Hysterosalpingogram?

A hysterosalpingogram is a fertility test used to detect uterine and fallopian health. The HSG test uses x-ray technology to create a picture of the uterus and fallopian tubes. When you undergo an HSG test, colored dye is injected into your uterus. This dye then travels up through the fallopian tubes and out into the abdominal cavity. The HSG allows your health care provider to determine if there is any damage to your reproductive system.

Hysterosalpingogram and Fertility

Besides being able to detect uterine and tubal abnormalities, the HSG test has also been shown to increase pregnancy rates in some women. The HSG test sometimes helps to clear fallopian tubes of debris or blockages. This can enable some women with fertility issues to become pregnant.

I am not known to have fallopian tube blockage but they need to find out before they start having egg’s being released where they haven’t been in so long on their own.  Also, I like the portion whereby it states that this test may actually clear fallopian tubes of debris or blockages if they do exist.  So this is the first and only test I will have that may actually assist. 

I have read that there is slight cramping due to this test.  I imagine I won’t have any.  I never have any.  My uterus is either kind to me or just so tired of it all too.  I have no idea, but I am usually pain free. I am having this test done on Thursday morning.

I’m still struggling with work, learning how to do certain reports.  Being asked to come up with and compile numbers that don’t make logical sense to me yet. It’s getting there but I hate feeling stupid even if it’s temporary.  Also stressing because I’m missing work for all these tests, making up the work later in the day.  It’s making me nuts since I’m a conscience employee. 

Last night after work my right front end of my vehicle was making a bumping noise and feeling.  It felt like I was driving over big rocks. It felt unstable and odd.  I made it home ok and then this morning Rick drove me to work in my car.  We knew something was wrong, but low and behold the tire decided to die on us.  It wrapped itself all up etc.  It was a fine looking mess.  Thankfully I have Geico and have free roadside assistance.  I didn’t want Rick to pull the tire in fear that there was something else wrong with the car.  The guy showed up within fifteen minutes or less and fixed the tire.  I then went and bought a new tire for it right away.  I hate running on my spare.  So that was our morning adventure.  Thankfully he was off of work and this didn’t happen to me last night on my way home alone.  I woulda hated that.  However, I probably would have done the same thing and called Geico’s roadside assistance.  But still the whole experience wasn’t so miserable with Rick there.  On my home from work last night listening to the noise the car was making I was freaking out and I’m glad it hung on until I wasn’t alone. I also did try to get a hold of Rick (who’s phone got wet and so he turned it off and wasn’t answering).  I was getting frustrated but I never swore at him and I never took it out on him.  He was impressed.  Frankly so am I.  I’m so getting better with dealing with stress it’s amazing.

Right now I just feel drained.  Too much going on.  And about to start a finance class TODAY.  Lovely.  I just read the syllabus and someone shoot me. 

Oddly enough I am going through some stressful stuff and I’m a little down because of it, however I can honestly say I’ve never been happier in my lifetime.
