- As everyone says, the prep is the worst part. This is true. Not that the prep was so bad, but it was unpleasant and the procedure itself was nearly nothing, especially after having been through fertility treatment.
- Spring for the good toilet paper. Or even wet wipes.
- They say to eat a light breakfast the day before. Take that advice and don't pig out. It's ok to be hungry for a day, and the less you have going into your system, the less needs to come out. No matter how much you stuff in your face you'll be hungry anyway so take the temporary discomfort in exchange for less discomfort later.
- You'll be passing a lot of air after the procedure. Make sure you're ok with the person giving you a ride home hearing that because holding it in is painful and uncomfortable.
From start to finish this whole thing was really no big deal. The doctor was great and I'm grateful he got me on his schedule right away. Today's staff was professional and efficient. The procedure itself was barely 20 min long and I was on my way home forty five minutes after checking in. Hopefully recovery will be smooth sailing as well.
In unrelated news, my RE is officially out on maternity leave. Not sure what next steps are but will call the office tomorrow and chat with the nurses.
