hsg scheduled

after 4 days and hundred of phone calls, i finally have the stupid hsg scheduled for 9/15.

i've been freaking out about having this done since march when the doc told me i should have it done after recovering from surgery.

since i'm now traumatized forever about medical procedures from the last year of hell, i was trying to find a doc/facility to do the hsg with some type of anesthesia or sedation service. everywhere i called basicallly told me i was a baby and that they don't consider the procedure being "bad" enough for sedation for a normal patient. what no one realizes is that i'm not normal anymore and i'm a total head case about this. i'm taking xanax just making the phone calls about it.

so even tho the insurance may not cover it all, it's scheduled with a doc at a hospital over an hour away who will perform the hsg under conscious sedation. i almost cried when he said he would do it and totally validated my feelings. why can't more medical professionals be like this? he would have talked to me for an hour if i had more questions. the hospital doesn't even take my insurance for this procedure anymore, and he called the director of scheduling for a "favor" after talking to me and telling me he would do it. i can't wait for it to be over, but i'm so glad i kept calling and found someone to help me.

sorry didn't answer sooner-away for the weekend.
hsg to make sure my remaining tube is open and functional for the eggs to travel. the side they removed with the ectopic was congenitally deformed, which caused the ectopic in the first place.

I am so sorry you are going through all this and for the doctors that don't understand all of the extra anxiety we go through. I hope this doctor has the answers you are looking for.
