I'm so upset!
Are there no lengths that I won't go to in order to become pregnant? I've been TTC for 22 months now, and finally have infertility insurance coverage. My Gynecologist ordered a hysterosalpingogram, and when I called to schedule it with radiology they gave me instructions to do a FLEET ENEMA 2 hours prior to the test!!!!! What??? Why? And they told me this while my husband was sitting right next to me, cracking up laughing at the look of horror on my face! I am very private about my bathroom needs. My husband and I have been together for 5 years, and I have never even passed gas in front of him. Then today he went with me to the pharmacy and bought me AN ENEMA, because I was too humiliated to buy it myself!!!! I was bright red the whole time! Our relationship has crossed a line! The mystery is gone, and the romance was almost certainly killed when he looked at the oh-so-helpful image demonstrating the position one should be in whilst performing the enema. Ugh. Maybe I should just get a pet rock instead. TTC is not for the faint of heart.
Update: I am also on Femara, and apparently the emotions got to me, because I just started sobbing on the floor when my husband jokingly mentioned the enema, and I started crying about how the cruel doctors have stripped me of my dignity and reduced me to a shell of my former self. Boy, am I a drama queen. 😐
