The advantage of the HSG test today was that they G did not have to make any holes that my body doesn't normally have. I was happy to find out the contrast didn't have to go through an IV because I still have a little bruising from my colonoscopy IV in December. Woohoo! They just used a thin tube and shot it in through a catheter. I found the test interesting, because it had almost a video xray. When I laid down, I saw hips on the screen - so I shook my hips to see if the screen's image would move. They did - video xray! Super awesome. :) They injected the contrast (Did you know your uterine cavity is a triangle? I did not. It looked like a glowing arrowhead. Crazy!) and everything was where it belonged. It was not completely pleasant - definitely some cramping, but only for a few seconds. Not as bad as I thought it might be from reading about it ahead of time. Apparently if there is a problem and the dye can't get through, then it can really hurt. So I'm good.
Bonus good thing of the day - the parking garage attendant was backed up so he let a bunch of us leave without paying, just saying "Have a pleasant day!" as we pulled up to the window.
