My Hysteroscopy Experience

I went in today for my hysteroscopy. Strangely, I was more worried and nervous about my HSG a couple of weeks ago than I was for the hysteroscopy. I was told I'd have anesthesia but not enough to be completely knocked out during the procedure. As soon as they gave it to me, I knocked out and didn't even remember the doctor coming in. However, part way through the procedure I came to and was in a lot of pain. I just remember looking over my shoulder at a nurse and telling her I was in pain. Then I looked at the monitor to see the doctor cutting stuff out of my uterus.

After the procedure ended, they took me back to the recovery room area. I was just trying to relax and wait for the pain meds to kick in while I let my hubby listen to all the doctor had to say. Apparently there was still a decent amount of placenta left in my uterus that was missed during my d&c. It was really weird to me that there was still placenta left in me. He showed my hubby a handful of pictures of my uterus and said that now everything is cleaned up! I have a balloon in me that he'll take out in a week. It's supposed to help protect against more scarring I think.

After a couple of minutes, a nurse brought me crackers and ginger ale. That made me feel a lot better. By the time we left the office either the cramping went away or the pain meds had kicked in. Either way, the pain was gone! I took a 2 hour nap at home and then felt totally fine!

I'm even more excited now that this is over. I feel like we're getting a fresh start. I really hope it won't take us as long this time to get pregnant. The cool thing is, I think my hubby is just as excited for me to get pregnant again. He wants this just as much as I do. It's cute!
