...and after reading, researching and hearing how painful it is, it really is bearable. The pain was not all that bad. It hurt some trying to dilate my cervix because as the doctor stated, "it's as hard as a rock." There was minor cramping while the dye was being injected, after that it was smooth sailing. Of course I did prep my body with Benadryl, and 1000mg of ibuprofen just in case the pain lived up to all the hype I've read about. The nurse in radiology told me she has heard some women screaming bloody murder, but at least she was kind enough to reveal this little tidbit after my test.
As for the results, everything looks structurally normal. My uterus forms the triangle they are hoping to see, and of course my tubes are clear. So we still do not know what is causing my miscarriages. I guess they were flukes, and I think I can accept that fact. I will just continue to try until I get my sticky baby.

HSG Scheduled
Well, this is it. AF finally decided to show her ugly face on CD 46...About time! Now I am scheduled for my HSG for the 20th of this month. I do hope everything is normal looking in there, but then if it is we will have no known reason for my back to back miscarriages. If this is the case, I then move on to a high risk OB. I am getting nervous for next Friday. I will update then...

I DO NOT Understand...
...all the hype surrounding the mother and the octuplets! The whole story just pisses me off! Don't get me wrong, I am happy that the tiny little lives are doing well despite being born five weeks early, but they are being taken advantage of by their mother. There are several things that don't sit right with me regarding this mother:
1. She already has six kids at home ranging in age from 2 to 7.
2. She is single (now she is stating divorced) at the time of bringing eight innocent lives into the world.
3. She lives with her freaking parents in a 3BR home with all those kids.
4. She is fairly young, 33, now with 14 kids.
5. She is pimping her babies! She is demanding $2M for first interview and pictures, plus a lifetime supply of diapers and baby food. She also wants a job as some type, on television, that deals with kids. Still unclear what that was.
6. She had IUI's done for all of her pregnancies without any known fertility issues!! Who the hell does this?!?!
7. According to her parents, she has mental issues.
There are so many women in the world, including myself, who are having issues conceiving/maintaining a pregnancy, and you have this woman who is being greedy with the hand dealt to her. There are so many other surviving septuplets and sextuplets in the world whose parents do not demand such things from companies in order to thrust their children into the spotlight. She is suffering financially, and she had these babies for her financial gain.
Am I bitter? I might be because all I ask for is at least one baby, and my body has failed to do that twice. My body is STILL not cooperating with me! I am on CD41, with no signs of Aunt Flo. I just want her to come so I can move forward with my HSG, and back to TTC (Trying to Conceive).
