Right is alright

My right fallopian tube is open! Normal spillage on the right side! Yay! This was the good/best outcome we were hoping for with today's HSG. The left is blocked, dilated, not allowing the dye to move through it. This is as we expected, based on the HSN and ultrasound in January (with the scary fertility clinic in the suburbs and that bad experience), and also based on my intuition, the fact that I have pain on my left side at different points throughout the month, that it's always more tender over there. And also based on my acupuncturist and M.aya massage lady who both tell me that my left side is pretty f*cked up in general. Soooo .... we were NOT surprised to have confirmation that the left is blocked. We were SO HOPING that the right was open. And it is. Deep relief setting in.

This means that I will graduate myself from the lovely feminist clinic with its lack of ultrasounds and go find an RE who will wand frequently and with impunity and only shoot the sperm up there when I'm growing eggs on the right/correct side. I was deeply afraid that they'd both be blocked and we'd be graduated to IVF or adoption before we'd even really gotten out of the gate. But that's not the case. So we're off to celebrate tonight!!

P.S. I fall into the "HSG not so bad" camp. It only felt like very severe period cramps, but not for very long. Of course, I was on V.alium. So what do I know?
