I wasn't someone who suffered with cramps and took the two Motrin like I was told. Those two little pills made no difference. On top of that when they finally did kick in (after the exam was over) and I was only suffering slightly, they wore off in NO TIME. As a matter of fact they wore off while I was having my hair done in a very public place. Needless to say,the stylist ran from the salon screaming for my husband (who was waiting in the car) while I lay on the floor in fetal position (I'd slid right out of the chair when the pain hit). I spent the next 3 hours in the emergency room and another 4.5 hours in bed crying when I got home. Thirteen years later (my hysterosalpingogram was February 26, 2003 the day of the first World Trade Center bombing) we still have.......no children. I can't tell you what a nightmare the infertility treatments were. Men never get the worst of it and it was only through Dear Hubby's begging and pleading that I endured that horrid infertility rollercoaster three more times over those thirteen years.Niobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09685925265964771819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294772.post-1127907379770995102005-09-28T21:36:00.000+10:002005-09-28T21:36:00.000+10:00i know this is all from way back when but i laughe...i know this is all from way back when but i laughed ny arse off. am keeping up from the other end (so to speak) and have everything crossed for you....surly girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16414631534757427023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294772.post-1127340216830178162005-09-22T08:03:00.000+10:002005-09-22T08:03:00.000+10:00Hi Manuela...yes that was an ahem unusual post. Bu...Hi Manuela...yes that was an ahem unusual post. But look if the guy can empathise, cool.<BR/><BR/>Have not read your archives yet so was not aware of the similarities in our tales but I will. Our friends who were together a similar length of time also had the same pseudo-contraceptive approach and they DID get pregnant after ten years (they'd been 'sort of' properly trying for about a year) so we felt it was a bit unfair of the doctor to hit the panic button.<BR/><BR/>Still in our case one blocked tube and a mess of male antibodies seemed to be holding it all up...OvaGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12150362175853549015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294772.post-1127339748575095342005-09-22T07:55:00.000+10:002005-09-22T07:55:00.000+10:00Ummm...

That was one of the oddest comments I've ever seen...<BR/><BR/>Anyway... what REALLY grabs me about this post... is that your story is IDENTICAL to my own... seriously... I've blogged it to death so I'm not going to recreate it... but yah... casually decide to have a baby... ten years of the withdrawl method... my Doctor giving me that uh-oh! look... and poof... I went for the HSG... verbatim I tell ya.
