Endometrial Biopsy #1

Well, I can say for certain that it hurt just as much as, if not more than, I remember. Thankfully the NP prescribed me both Valium and Tylenol-3's to take 30 minutes prior to my appt. I'm not sure I could have made it through without those. For some women, I think these procedures are only mildly uncomfortable, but I have a curved cervix(?) and so it makes it more difficult for them to get the catheter into my uterus. Today it was difficult enough that they needed to call in one of the MD's to finish the procedure.

Oh, well. It's over... for now. They mentioned the next one on Wednesday might be a little easier because I will already be a little dilated from this procedure..? We will see.

I was maybe kind of okay with having a due date of mid-August, but September 5th is REEEEALLY pushing it. I will likely have my 3rd semester nursing program orientation on the 22nd, and because 3rd semester classes are on Wednesdays, I probably won't have class until the 29th. However, I really did not want to be due after the semester starts. This is really, really difficult. AND, if for some reason I don't start my period within 4 days of ending the progesterone from my mock cycle... not only will I not get to visit my mom for Thanksgiving (due to baseline ultrasound scheduling), we will likely not make the cut off for transfer before the clinic lab closes for the Christmas holiday... wh...
