Getting Nervous

Xan921

There is no point to this post really but if anyone understands it's you all. I just called and scheduled all of my testing. I go in for an ultrasound and blood work Friday morning then go get additional bloodwork that afternoon. Then on the 6th I have a saline sono followed by an hsg on the 8th.

I was so excited to finally get the ok to get testing done and now that it's scheduled I feel so nervous. Nervous about the possible pain from the procedures, nervous about the results, just nervous.

That's all. Thanks for letting me put my nerves on 'paper' rather than bundled up in my head.

All 100% normal. Hopefully it will all be easier then you think. Lots of luck!

I was a bit nervous too.  I was really looking forward to the results, just not so much the poking and proding.  I'm a baby when it comes to blood draws, so that was the worst for me.  The ultrasounds are painless.  I've never had a sono?? but the HSG took like 15 seconds of "discomfort".  I definitely had to "breath through it", but throughout the procedure I was trying to compare it to a preview of contractions during birth, lol.  If that's all it was, I can handle it.  (Im sure they're nothing alike but that's what I do to help myself get through stuff).  It honestly was very quick.  So good luck on everything, but you'll fly right through it, I promise.  Just keep a calander of when everything so you don't forget bc it's alot to do in one cycle (but I prefered it that way so we could get started with any tx as soon as possible if neccessary, which it was)

My mantra was "it's for the baby, it's for the baby".  I'm a loon :-)

Yay! It's so exciting moving forward with testing, etc. I always try to remind myself that it is all in search of answers and solutions to problems.  I hope you get some good answers and that your doctor moves you down a path you are happy with. Good luck!

I'm glad that I'm holding off on all of this testing until the new year for exactly this reason. I hope that your anxiousness won't last and that it all goes well for you!

Good luck to you! You will be fine and it is perfectly normal to be nervous I'm excited you'll have some more answers soon!

It's okay to be nervous, but good luck with all of your tests!

Totally normal feelings. I think a lot of the time it is so hard to make that next step because it truly makes it real. It is so overwhelming and there are so many emotions you go through. Good luck with the testing, I hope everything goes well!

Lots of luck with testing!

Totally understandable to be nervous for all of those things.

I hope you're able to relax and take it all in stride and that it all goes as painlessly as possible!! (because let's face it, getting stuck with a needle or having your ute injected full of iodine are not comfortable experiences)

I'm sure you'll be intensely relieved to just have it all over and done with in one fell swoop!

totally normal! most of it will be so easy and you'll be thinking, why the heck did I worry? once its done

RockABye

Good luck!! It's always a scary step and I think it's normal to be nervous.

It's totally normal to be nervous! I know for me, it was more the fact that I was not in control of the outcome, which always makes me very uncomfortable. In situations like that, i just try to picture a positive outcome and send it out to the universe. Try not to dwell on the what-ifs... It will only make you crazy. I'll be keeping my FX for a good result

I understand how you are feeling. For me, I was relieved to be moving forward but also nervous about what the results might show. Good luck with everything! We're here for you if you need to vent!

I understand feeling nervous!  I was certainly nervous before all of my testing!  But I am keeping everything crossed for you that you get good results from your testing and that all goes well!

Sounds normal to me! It's gonna be fine. Just try to keep the bigger picture in mind. Good luck to you!

It's totally normal to be nervous!  My first RE appointment was in the afternoon and I spent the entire morning at work "this close" to tears.  It's scary and overwhelming to think about what might be going on, and that you've gotten to the point where you have to go see what's going on. I remember being nervous, scared and pissed off that I was having to go to a fertility clinic!  

The procedures themselves are no big deal.  The HSG was the most uncomfortable thing I did, and it really was nothing more than some discomfort.

Good luck with your testing! It is an exciting step forward, but it's a scary one, too. It definitely makes it more real. I hope you can get some answers so you can get your seahorse baby soon!

Thank you all so very much from the bottom of my heart. You all sure know how to make a girl feel better!

LooneyLife

Totally normal.  I think you'll be relieved once all of the testing is done and you can put together a plan.  GL!

Good luck! I hope you get some answers!

Sending you all the best luck moving forward!

I'm sorry you're going through this. FX that it's worth all this and more in the end

Totally normal to be nervous. The testing is a big step because it might tell you something is wrong but regardless of the results you will have a plan and all of us here for you!

Good luck to you.

Def normal to be nervous, but maybe your doctor can recommend something to help ease that somewhat. I think people here mentioned something about taking Advil before the HSG test to help with some of the cramping, no? Either way, think of the benefit of getting answers - this is a good thing to help you figure things out for the next steps. Good luck!
