A Mother’s True Test Tube Story (2): Finally, a salpingography was done and everything seemed to be going well, but…

The last story said that the hero escaped a bullet and suffered from massive hemorrhage due to ectopic pregnancy but was finally rescued.

Soon, six months passed, and according to the doctor’s instructions, [salpingography] was required. What about the mother’s what?

At the beginning of the year, I had an open operation due to ectopic pregnancy and was later diagnosed with moderate anemia.

I went to the examination after recuperating for a month. The blood index was close to the normal level. After that, the B-ultrasound examination showed that the abdominal cavity was basically normal and I recovered very well.

At that time, I had not done [salpingography] and did not know whether to do IVF, but I still checked the relevant knowledge of [IVF]. However, this does not mean that I want to give up natural pregnancy. I still have hope for the right fallopian tube.

Six months later, when the doctor explained the date, it was the high school entrance examination season, and I also welcomed the [examination] of [salpingography] with uneasy feelings.

In the preparation stage, everything went well.

On the 3rd day of menstruation, I went to the hospital to register for obstetrics and gynecology. The doctor gave me a routine examination of leucorrhea first. My test results showed that it was normal. The doctor only opened the list of fallopian tube radiography, so I went to make an appointment for the radiography time.

If you do angiography, do not share the same room from the time of menstruation to the time of angiography, and do salpingography usually within 7 days after menstruation is clean.

In addition, remember to bring a sanitary napkin on the day of the radiography.

While waiting for the appointment, I also specially checked the knowledge of salpingography on the Internet. However, people have different opinions, some say pain, some say no pain, and generally mention that if the fallopian tube is blocked, it will hurt, which makes me very nervous.

Soon when the appointment came, I paid the money, took the medicine and found a doctor. Then she examined my uterus and had another skin test. The result was normal and I was ready for an angiography.

Because salpingography is also a minor operation, the doctor also asked us to sign the operation consent form, explaining the matters needing attention after the operation (no sharing room for 2 weeks, no bath, etc.), and asked me to paste sanitary napkins.

The doctor prepared two sets of tools and took me to the radiation room. My mother and husband were waiting outside.

There was a metal bed and an X-ray machine in the radiation room. I lay on the cold metal bed and began to feel a little nervous. The doctor asked me to take off my pants and then covered my lower body and abdomen with a white hollowed-out cloth, revealing only the operating part.

Then I heard her take out the metal tools and pingle. First, I used the tools to open the vagina, then I took something to clamp (later I checked it, called cervical forceps) the anterior lip of the cervix, and then inserted the catheter.

During the operation, the doctor felt my nervousness, deliberately chatted with me, and suddenly asked me about my grandmother’s physical condition and age. This can be asked for me, I desperately think about age, but also nervous [below]. So the doctor took advantage of my inattention and quickly installed it.

In fact, this is related to the doctor’s technique. It will be a little uncomfortable when opening the vagina and clamping the anterior lip of the cervix, but people will soon adapt to this state. Thinking of this, I am grateful to the doctor.

The doctor gave me a syringe attached to the catheter and told me [here is lipiodol, we will take photos outside, let you push you push.]

I said I understood, and she went out.

After the examination, my heart was tormented.

Soon, she told me through the microphone that when what pushed the syringe, when what stopped, and I heard the [click] sound of filming. But then I was surprised and didn’t feel any pain, just felt a cool thing pouring into my right belly.

I thought to myself, no pain should show that the fallopian tube is connected… but the fact is not what people want.

About a minute or two later, they shouted to stop, and the doctor quickly disassembled my tools after coming in.

When I asked her how she was doing, she said sadly [not very good] and told her that another film would be made in 20 minutes.

I put on my pants and walked out of bed three or two times. I didn’t feel uncomfortable with what. While the doctor was preparing for the patients behind, I asked the doctor who made the film again. He said:

[The uterus is quite good, but the fallopian tubes on both sides are blocked. From the film, only one third of them are shown, and there is no long path behind them.]

At that moment, I was very disappointed and was not in the mood to see a doctor. I just wanted to tell the news to my mother and husband outside the door as soon as possible. I didn’t know how I got out of the radiation room…

Many people are very afraid of salpingography. In fact, the discomfort caused by salpingography can be relieved, such as thinking about other things like the hero.

In short, don’t focus on the doctor’s operation, salpingography is not as painful as what is said online. Relax and try to cooperate with the doctor.

How to get a son?

Facing the family’s concerned inquiries, I told them what the doctor said.

My mother said, it seems that there is only a test tube. For a while, I really can’t accept this fact.

Twenty minutes will soon arrive, and the second shooting will go on very fast. All you need to do is lie down and show your belly.

By the afternoon, all the X-ray films had been obtained, and the diagnosis result of tubal salpingography was that bilateral fallopian tubes were obstructed and no pelvic coating was found after 20 minutes.

[No coating] means that the contrast agent cannot enter the pelvic cavity, which means that the fallopian tube is blocked and the contrast agent cannot pass through.

However, even if bilateral fallopian tubes are blocked, it does not mean that IVF is necessary. Doctors will first understand the specific location and degree of obstruction, judge whether there is any value of recanalization, and then decide how to treat it next.

I went to the obstetrician and gynecologist to watch the film again. After watching it, the doctor said to me, “I’m afraid I have to be a test tube baby. If you do it while you are young, the success rate will be higher.”

There are still many patients in the outpatient room. They have turned their eyes to me. Some are comforting, some are surprised, some are curious, and my heart is mixed.

In this way, I was pushed to the road of [test tube for children], a road that could not see the far side clearly.
