My Happy Birthday HSG!

Yesterday was my 31st birthday, and I just wasn't "feelin' it"

usually I am a big believer in birthday parties with balloons, cake,

and the whole mess, but not this year. I can't really put my finger

on why I felt this way, but It really just did NOT feel like a birthday. 

I think it all started when I woke up with a pounding sinus headache,

then instead of sitting down with a nice cup of birthday coffee, sat down

to a big steaming cup of the worst tasting herbs ever! Really, they are

disgusting, I can't even describe it in a way that would do it justice. 

So after choking down the herbs I had to take my antibiotics, drink 

5 glasses of water and head to the clinic for a full bladder ultrasound. 

Then it was time for work, which I love...most of the time, I really 

should have known better then to teach back to back pre/postnatal 

fitness classes on my 31st birthday after a trip to the fertility clinic. 

The first class I teach is full of newborns so it's hard to stay too grumpy 

for too long cause they are so FREAKIN cute, but somedays it's hard 

not to bursting into tears and run out of the room. The prenatal class 

is usually a bit easier because the baby cuteness is hidden behind a big 

pregnant belly, but I could still end up crying most days, depending on 

my mood. They did bring me some fudge as a b-day gift, so again....hard 

to be grumpy for too long.

Things did get better after I got home from work though, my husband 

had dinner ready for us and there was a BIG bouquet of flowers on the 

table. So sweet he is, but despite his best efforts, I still wasn't feeling it. 

I guess with the events of the day and the looming HSG, I just couldn't 

get into it. I requested a Birthday "Do over" for the weekend and hubby

agreed!

This morning was my HSG, it wasn't so bad, it hurt a lot but only 

for a few minutes and wasn't any worse then my period. I would 

like to send a shout out to all of you who told me to take 2 advil 

before the procedure, I think it really helped. Blogging is good :)

While I was there I asked the Dr. If she had seen the water get

through my fallopian tubes, she said everything was perfect....I got 

the "best tube" award for the day. It was still only early but, I'll

take what I can get, the "best tube" award is a very good belated

b-day present.
