Hsg scan

Another big event for my holiday week
Is to go for the hsg xray
To check whether the uterus and fallipian tubes are fine.
At first, I thought it will be a normal xray                             
Till i was prescribed painkillers and antibiotics to be start 2 days before the xray
Then i start google and realised how scary it is
Similar to a pap smear,
But to insert a tube to the cervix and pump dye into me.
It definitely doesnt sound fun

Finally the day came
After reading 100000 stories about how painful it will be
Finally the day came.
As usual, the reigistration was fine 
And quickly it was my turn
To undress all except my bra and socks
My little cover of dignity
I was quite glad that the xray person was a lady
I think i was too stress that my french level became zero
But glad i googled the procedures to know whats going to happen

After a normal xray,
The lady told me i may feel discomfort
And at any time if too painful, I can ask them to stop
The male gynae came in and explained the procedures again
I must look really stressed that both of them took turn to ask how im feeling
It did felt like a normal pap smear
Without the scary chair and more discomfort
I guess they dont warm up the opener like my gynae did
Then was the painful insertion of the tube
Again doc say if too painful, I can ask them to stop
I can feel my stress level increase

The dye process was discomfort
Suppose to feel like a normal cramp
But added with stress, its actually quite painful
I will say its 3/5.

Then i was to turn my body
Which i totally forget how to turn
And the kind lady helped me to shift my body
I think the whole process took 5mins
But felt like eternity to me
Then doc left

The lady kindly brought me my underwear
And a pad and asked me to sit at toilet bowl for a while
Its nice that she still asked how i am while im sitting inside
Then i had another xray scan and its done!

I was feeling dull cramp and wobbly legs
After awhile, the doc showed me the xray
And said all was fine.
I got a shock at payment, its 180eur!
Well, at least is a good news.
I cant imagine paying so much
And going through all this
For some bad news...

Although its survivible, I really hope i need not go through this again!
