the dye test

so the dye test was not too bad.  i definitely wouldn't say that it was pleasant, but it was bearable.  first i had to put my knees on these pads which was weird, but whatev.  then they did a bunch of stuff down there, they told me what they were doing, but to me it just sounded like gibberish!  At one point, they put something in that started the cramping.... then, it was awful.  really bad cramps, but i figured it wouldn't last that long, so i just dealt with it.  at one point, i had to turn from side to side so that they could get a different view.  once they pulled everything out, the cramping started to subside.  and now, 4 hours later, i only have mild cramping.  

so the results... everything looked great except for one part of my uterus.  they showed me the mark on the picture that they took.  they said it could either be an air bubble, or something that needs to be removed.  either way, they said it wasn't that big of a deal.  so now i have to go in for a saline sonography somewhere between day 6-10 of my next cycle.  this will give them more info.  the procedure is less harsh that the dye test and is done in their office, so yay for that!  hopefully i won't have to take the entire day off, maybe just a half day.  i'm glad we're doing all this now so that we are ready to go in august!! (or even possibly july, we'll see!)
