Real Stories. Real Advice. Real Moms.

So my doctor appointment on Friday went ok.She told me that everything looked great and she started talking about doing the special xray thing in two months. She explained that they would insert a catheder into my uterus to inject the dye and then they would take the xray and the dye would show the shape of my uterus and would show if my tubes healed open correctly or healed closed and are blocked by scar tissue. Then she told me it was a painful procedure. I told her that I was not good with pain and she said that they have patients come in an hour before hand and they give you a shot or toredol. She said that was the same pain medication they gave me before I left the hospital, and knowing THAT, the toredol didn't do anything for me except make me extremely sick. So I asked if it was a nessecary procedure and she said they highly suggest it but its not exatly nessecary. So I told her I didn't want to do it. Now everyone I know is telling me that I should get it done or they are asking, "Dont you want to know if everything is ok?" And I just dont know what to do!!! I just want to get past all this and I'm afraid that if I get this done, then it will bring everything back and I will have to start all over with the healing process. I want to know if my tubes are healed right to know if I can have children normally, but I am so afraid of hearing the bad news side of it and I think thats why I dont want to go in and get the xrays done. I'm also afraid of the pain and of the dye itself. I mean, I have already had so much crap shot into me in the hospital, its not natural. I can't WILLINGLY let them shoot dye in me! It really can't be good for you and I dont want to loose all ability to have children if my tube aren't blocked and then the dye gets in there and kills my ovaries or something!

I'm just plain afraid of doing it and I'm not getting the support that I need to be able to agree to do this. My husband doesn't understand and I want to know if everything is ok, but my fear is overpowering that...

I got my detailed transaction bill from the hospital on Saturday. All I can say is I am GLAD we have insurance! The total for a day and a half in there was $17,392!!! I knew it was going to be a lot, I just thought it would be more around $10k... But thats ok, insurance is an awesome thing and they will hopefully be takingcare of a lot of the costs.

But I would really appreciate some advice from all of you moms out there on what you think I should do or shouldn't do! Thanks!!!

After all the great advice you gave me I have to leave some imput. As painful as the procedure may be, to me, not knowing for the rest of my life would hurt so much worse. I hope you chose what is right for you though. Its your body and everyone will just have to accept that.

I am considered a "Pretty Woman" also. That is one of the reasons I would love to win this perfume, Pretty Woman. We would make a dynamic duo.

My family thinks that this is one of the greatest movies, ever made. We have seen it over and over, and still recommend it as a classic.

You guessed it correctly. My husband is a big fan of Twilight. He read the book, saw the movie and ate the popcorn. Charles did it all, and did it all, without exception.
