Nervous Nellie May 20, 2004

My appointment for my HSG is this afternoon. I am extremely nervous about the thought of going through this. When I first saw the OBGYN that specializes in infertility back in March she ordered blood tests but said that the HSG would probably not be paid for by my insurance since the cause of our infertility had already been determined as male factor. She said that it would be covered if my blood tests came back abnormal. Well, my blood test came back completely normal, and yet I got a letter from my insurance company approving the HSG. I figured I’d go ahead with the test for the peace of mind. Plus not having to pay anything for a $700 test is also nice.

My husband won’t be accompanying me to my appointment. He offered several times, but I felt that he should stay at work. He would have to drive the 30 minutes it takes to get there from downtown each way plus the hour for the appointment. Since he had to leave work early on Tuesday for his Drs. appointment, I thought it would be best for him not to miss another 2 hours today. Plus, with any luck, his surgery will be scheduled soon, and he’ll have to miss another week for that. I’m just glad that there’s some leftover vicodin in the house. That should make getting through the test bearable.

For those reading, please note that the doctors’ office is right across the street from our apartment, so there was no driving involved while taking the Vicodin. I’m sorry I couldn’t be there, but I’m so glad everything turned out well.
