No HSG for me.....AGAIN!

I started spotting again yesterday!! I was SO MAD!!! (Remember, my last HSG was cancelled because I started bleeding the DAY OF!) Well, it was just a TINY bit of spotting this AM so I went ahead and went over to the hosp. and figured I would just ask them there if they still wanted to do it today or if I would need to reschedule AGAIN!

Hold up....back story.... LOL! Two years ago I had to have a LEEP done for an abnormal pap. Well, I was one of the rare few that ended up hemorraging a week later and ended up spending a week in the hospital on IV ATB and Morphine!!! Ever since then whenever I DO have AF it is so excrutiatingly painful that I am on Percocet. What happens is that I cramp REALLY REALLY HARD and I have all this pressure on my cervix (feels like I am in labor and I have that overwhelming need to push) but yet I don't bleed AT ALL! Wierd right?!?! Well, I have been telling Dr.'s for TWO YEARS that I think there is scar tissue in my cervix and that is "blocking" the blood from coming out and that is why I am in so much pain. I have had pelvic exams and u/s's out the wazoo and they all say the same thing....."Nope...your cervix looks great! No reason you shouldn't have AF like any other girl." and then they send me on my way.

Ok....back to today. LOL! So, they say that they don't think a little bit of spotting is worth cancelling over and go ahead and get me all ready for the Dr. to come in and do his thing. He comes in and inserts the speculum and starts to insert the cathetar and I about came unglued!! I started crying! It felt like someone was ripping my insides out! He attempted a few more times with the cathetar and you could tell him and the radiologist were really puzzeled. He said, "Sweetie, this part shouldn't hurt that bad and we are having a really hard time getting the cathetar in. I am so sorry!!" He tried to open up my cervix a little and then he goes, "OH! THAT'S THE PROBLEM!" and the radiologist goes over and looks up my cooch with him and says, "Ohhhh! Now it makes sense!" What? What makes sense?? My Dr. said, "Sweetie, I can only get the cathetar in about 1/4 - 1/2 of an inch....your cervix is totally closed with scar tissue!!" NO SHIT?!?!?! I explained to him what had happened with the LEEP and with my periods since then and he said, "Now it makes TOTAL sense!" (Btw...he is my new Dr. so he wasn't aware of all the other Dr.'s blowing me off about this before.) So, we weren't able to do the HSG today but I feel SO GOOD that FINALLY what I have been saying for 2 years now has been VALIDATED! And I am NOT crazy! Damn, I wish Dr.'s would listen to us when we KNOW what is going on with our own bodies!

So, here's the new plan... He wants to schedule surgery for next Friday...yea, Friday the 13th....LOL! He is going to do everything all at once.....dilate my cervix and clear out the scar tissue....look around for endometriosis and clear that out if there is any....do the HSG.....and ovarian drilling! All under the wonderful comfort of SLEEP! ;-)

I am so happy to have validation and such a great new plan!! And I only have to wait a week! He wants to do it ASAP before I have a chance for AF to come and hurt me again! LOL! YAY!!
