Terrified

I had my MRI on Thursday.  It really, really sucked.  I am sort of claustrophobic.  It's not that small spaces scare me, I'm more scared of being stuck, so being in the tube wasn't too bad, since I felt like I could just reach up and pull myself out if I needed to.  It was FREEZING inside, so it was really hard to keep still since I was practically shivering.  I also had dye injected, which I did not realize was going to happen.

They made me take all my piercings out, which was really awful.  I've had my tragus (the little piece of cartilage by your ear, but is really attached to the side of your face, if that makes any sense at all) pierced for about 20 months.  I really didn't think it would be a big deal to take it out, but I couldn't get it back in afterwards.  I also couldn't get my nose ring (pierced for only 3 weeks!  I would have waited if I'd known!) back in, so I decided to wait until Friday and go to the piercing shop to have my jewelry reinserted, especially since I wanted to get a different piece for my tragus anyway.  Well, apparently the tragus is one of the locations where the hole shrinks really, really quickly.  She had a REALLY hard time getting it back in, and it really hurt.  And then two days later I woke up in the morning and it was so swollen I couldn't even see the ring.  I cleaned it really well, and it's fine now, but dang, that was a terrible experience.

And now I'm absolutely terrified that perhaps I actually did get pregnant this cycle and now our baby is going to be mutated since I had an MRI.  I haven't spotted at all, which is weird for me this far into my cycle.  But I honestly didn't think I had even ovulated yet.  I don't even know what's going on anymore.  Right now I'm on cycle day 25, so only a few more days and I'll know for sure.  Also I have my follow-up on Thursday, so I should know a lot more then.
