Today I had a Sonohystogram and Culdocentesis (yeah, I can barely pronounce them myself) and they were not fun! The lady who called me did not suggest that I take Midol or some mild pain killer to take the edge off so I was a bit surprised when I arrived. The Sonohyst was like the worst case of menstrual cramps that I could possibly get. Basically, the doctor injects a bunch of fluid into my uterus and then does a vaginal ultrasound so he can get a better look at the inside.
The Culdocentesis was a test performed because of my abnormal pap smear. He takes a fine needle and samples the area behind my cervex for further testing. That hurt too, I did my best not to make any sounds. My legs were shaking when I got up to walk, probably from tightening them in reaction to the pain.
So tomorrow, I get to have even more fun than today. I am having an ablation of the uterus. Hopefully that will cure my long periods or take them away completely. On the bright side, I get Vicodin. That should help with the pain I'll experience for the next couple of days.
