Operative Hysteroscopy, 2/11/2009

I had the operative hysteroscopy yesterday at the fertility clinic's surgical center. It was a complete doozy. I told a good friend this morning that it was so traumatic that I'm surprised I didn't come home with a multiple personality!

I like to break down the procedure into two steps: laminaria insertion & hysteroscopy.

The laminaria was placed in my cervix on Tuesday evening, Feb. 10 to aid in cervix dilation overnight. This would make the hysteroscopy procedure go much easier.

The procedure was 20 minutes of severe cramping and twice there was pain I cannot effectively describe. The outcomes were great! There was 1 small fibroid and 1 either adhesion (scar tissue) or fatty globule that the doctor thinks he was able to remove. Better yet, I will not have to go through anything like that... we are marching to IVF!!!
