Hysteroscopy

I had my Hysteroscopy on Tuesday without any type of anaesthesia. It was over very quickly, (5 minutes) which I am thankful for. It was painful but I think this is unusual. The reason why my last 2 ET's were so painful was apparantly due to a cervical stricture. So when he dilated me and passed the camera through it did hurt. The good news is everything else looks great. I don’t have a tipped uterus after all it was the cervical stricture all along. He also said that now he has dilated me it might be improved. I also had pain in my shoulder about 2 hours afterwards, which he warned me of, which passed quickly after laying flat.
I see the R.E on the 28th and he will do another mock transfer. Hopefully it will be easier this time. I am going to stress to him that I don’t want the last 2 embryos put back if he can’t guarantee a smooth transfer. I will ask him if ZIFT might be an option.
Last time we saw him he wrote to the Urologist to ask whether it might be possible to do another MESA on my Husband.

Wonky Cervix

I had my 2nd BFN on Monday.
Both transfers were very difficult lasting over half an hour. The 1st I suffered lots of bleeding the 2nd I had non but it was still painful and long. It turned out I have a tipped uterus and maybe a wonky cervix.
I saw the R.E on Tuesday and he did another mock transfer. It was painful and long again. He said he got it in once but it was a fluke and when he tried again he couldn’t. He said I need a Hysteroscopy, on the 3/14, to map the uterus and find out the problem. I am very scared. It is so painful when they do the transfer that I’m really worried that is going to hurt. He also said that the reason the embryos are not doing well is due to the traumatic transfer’s. I think my R.E will do Zift on me for with my last 2 embryos. He definitely said something about putting them in surgically. We only have 2 embryos left that are biologically my husbands and mine so I want to give them the best shot. We are not sure if my Dh can under go another MESA to retrieve sperm, we are waiting to hear. If not we will move on to DI/IVF/ICSI with possibly ZIFT.

Cycle day 1

AF showed up today. All the poking around yesterday brought it on early. I have very bad cramps and an earache to top it all off!
