The Unwanted

It's 10.30am now. I am at KKH Pharmacy with Mr. F (whom I must add, is super duper sweet to accompany me today) waiting for my medicine. I am done with the Hysterosalpingography (HSG). The result? Hold on! Let me explain the excruatingly embarrasing procedure.

As usual, I was made to lie down with my legs wide open. I have learnt to put aside the shame of having another male looking at my *meow*. The doc inserted  a speculum into my V. Thereafter, insert in a tube and then injected the dye or contrast. I hate the feeling of having that speculumin my V, but when they pumped in the contrast, I almost cried out. It was worse than menstrual cramps and the pain was pretty bad on the right side. That got over quickly and I was asked to sit and rest for half an hour to see if there is any reaction to the contrast.

So the result? Doc briefly told me that my left fallopian tube is fine BUT the right one is SWOLLEN & BLOCKED. No wonder I felt the pain more on the right. I went to the ladies and cried. Yes, I did. I cried. Why me? There are others out there who do not deserve to be parents and here I am with a swollen and blocked tube! Life can be pretty unfair.

Oh well.
