On Fertility

Girls, if you ever have to undergo an HSG, take someone with you. It's kind of major: hospital bracelet; lots of questions about whether or not you have a living will or have delegated power of attorney; cramping -- major cramping; some nausea; showing your girl parts to people you just met; you know, FUN!

Get up slowly from the radiopathy table, ladies. The nervous system may not have been anticipating quite the level of trauma iodine being injected into your lady-parts might bring... so it might make you pass out or faint. And by all means, relax for a few hours after. You've just had to haul your butt up onto a cold table in front of staff who are bound all the way up to their necks in lead vestments.

Payoff? You get to see your insides on the tee-vee... So you got that goin' for you... which is nice...
