Thread: So freaked out...getting hysteroscopy!

Hey Everyone,

Well, I posted on here a little while ago. I had 2 30-day long periods that happened as I was leaving a horrible, horrible job and starting a new, stressful crazy job. To make a long story short, I went to one gyno, had a horrible experience went to a new one, and an ultrasound later found out I have a polyp in my uterus.

So....the gyno recommended a hysteroscopy so that he can get a closer look at it and remove it. Believe it or not I am soooooooooooooo freaked out about this. Not the hysteroscopy itself, but going under general anesthesia. I am so worried something bad will happen and I'm just absolutely terrified. The anesthesiologist actually is going to give me a sedative before they knock me out, but that doesn't matter to me. Just thinking of the anesthesia is making me feel sick to my stomach.

Has anyone else gone through a hysteroscopy (especially people that haven't had kids before) and how bad was general anesthesia?

Please respond. I could use some answers to help calm me down.

OK, so getting knocked out wasn't completely terrifying? That is what I am most scared of...that, and having my privates exposed to everyone in the room! Hahaha. Sheesh, being a woman isn't easy sometmes, but I guess I wouldn'thave it any other way!
