To prepare for the procedure, I had to take birth control pills for at least 3 weeks. I started on Aviane-21 100/20MCG (generic version of Alesse) on April 30th. The birth control pill is to keep the uterus lining thin. On the night before surgery, I couldn't eat past midnight and just to be safe, I stopped drinking around the same time. I took two doses of Apo-Misoprostol 200MCG at bedtime (12:00am) and in the morning of surgery (7:30am). Apo-Misoprostol is to help dilate the cervix. Cramping caused by Apo-Misoprostol started during the night and woke me up around 3:45am. I had trouble finding a comfortable position. My back hurt so I couldn't sleep on my back and the cramps bothered me when I slept on my sides. I finally fell back to sleep an hour later. The position that finally worked for me was on my back with my legs bent and my arms above my head. Weird but I can't complain since it worked. I wonder if this is what being in labour feels like?
I had my hysteroscopy today between 9:50am to 10:15am by Dr. V. Before the surgery, he said that he will fix me. I didn't know what to expect but I knew that I was in good hands. I slowly fell asleep from the anaesthesia. I woke up with the tube still in my throat. Very uncomfortable. The nurse removed it and I just laid in bed with my eyes closed. Then I felt a light pinch on my nose. I thought it was my husband. When I opened my eyes, I was surprise that it was Dr. V. He told me that he did a resection of a small uterine septum. I was glad that he came and told me the results of the hysteroscopy. Could this be the cause of my miscarriages?
Tomorrow, I will start antibiotics (Apo-Cephalex) to prevent infection and estrogen (C.E.S.) to prevent possible scarring inside the uterus. From days 16 to 25, I will add progesterone (Apo-Medroxy). Estrogen and progesterone will be taken for two 25 day cycles with a seven day break in between.
