Remember that HSG (hysterosalpingogram) Dr. Klapholtz talked about in Episode 2 – Oath. Well, I had to have one done the other day. Its an x-ray procedure used to see whether the fallopian tubes are open and if the inside of the uterus is normal. It takes less than 5 mins but it is a very painful few minutes, I can tell you that much!
I completely underestimated the pain I would be in after the procedure. First off, I had to drive about 1.5 hours to the nearest clicic, because the clinic closest to me was booked all week and, if you know fertility treatments you know that timing matters, so I HAD to go on this specific day. Anyway, the drive there was fine. I am actually enjoying car rides these days because I am taking so few of them.
The ride home though- that was brutal. I had severe cramps as soon as I left the clinic and they continued as I pulled out into the street and onto the highway. I thought about pulling over, but instead – I started singing to myself. and you know what? It worked! The pain subsided when I would sing – LOUDLY!
Theres a little more to the story – how I started to sing to myself and why – you’ll learn that in the first few minutes of this episode.
You’ll also learn how this story connects to this weeks episode, where we are talking all about Ayurveda and connecting to the womb, with our guest Carina.
