Circles

Yesterday I went to the hospital to get my test done aaaaaannnnndddd they couldn't do it. 
They TRIED..... But to no avail.
I got to the hospital at noon and they called me back about 45 minutes later, I was super bummed because they wouldn't let Jared come back with me.  I had to fill out some paperwork and then change into a gown and then do more waiting.  Finally at 1:30 they had me go into the X-Ray room and talked me through what they were going to do.  Then they had me lay down on the table.  I had to lay like when you get a pap smear (yuck! I hate when I the doctor has to get all up close and personal with my lady parts) and... well I'll spare the details, but basically the doctor couldn't get the tube far enough in my cervix to do the procedure.  The first time he got it to stay kind of and when the technician slide me up the table the stupid contraption got ripped out because she pulled me up to fast.  Then the second time they moved me slowly and it just kind of slid out.  GAH!!!!  It was definately not fun.  He said that because there is an adhesion between my cervix and the left horn of my uterus that my cervix is not big enough to get the tube in far enough for it to stay.  So now I have to go back to my doctor and figure something else out.  They said that sometimes during this procedure they will dilate the cervix but that an OBGYN has to do it because apparently that is not part of a radiologists forte.  I'm thinking this is what my doctor will have done because I guess this is the only test that can really tell whether or not an egg can attach to the uterine lining.  Plus, my doctor wants to get a picture of my whole uterus, which is why he didn't just do an ultrasound.  I'm trying to remember that patience is a virtue but it's really hard when I keep going in these circles that end me right where I started.  Hopefully I can get in with the doctor next week so that we can get something else scheduled. 
Fingers crossed!!!
