The most dreadful day had come. My appt time was 09:30 in the morning. Dear accompanied me to KK hospital. Registered myself at the xray dept and one of the staff nurse asked me to change to the hospital robe while waiting for my turn to do the test. Five minutes later, i was accompanied by two nurses and greeted warmly by Dr Wong Yen Ling Jocelyn whom will be in charge of doing the whole procedure. I was asked to lie on the couch and Dr Wong explained the whole preocdure of what she was going to do to me. My hands was trumbling and i could feel my heartbeat pulmping very quickly. When she started to insert the tube to my womb, i just felt a bit uncomfortable. But once the small amount of contrast medium that administered through the tube to outline the inner surface of the womb 7 fallopian tube, i could feel the pain and it was like someone going to ripe open my womb and tears started to flow down to my cheecks. I screamed very loudly as i couldnt tolerate the pain. The nurses and dr kept comforting and consoled me. This lasted for about half an hour and i could feel numbness on my two thighs. The dr told me i would enocountered stomache cramps n bleeding for the next two days. I was told to dress up and waited for another half an hour in case any side effects happened to me. Dear was with me at the waiting area. As the nurse saw me and mentioned that i was well enough to go back home, i started to feel cramps on my stomache. Worse than menses cramp lo..... :{ Immediately went to the pharmacy to get some painkillers to ease the pain. Went for lunch and back home to rest after that.
