Could HSG flush my egg away??

[mrphyemma]

Thank you. I am feeling better emotionally, still quite sore down below and have aching/cramping in my uterus area. I hope I don't have an infection and that it is just down to the prolonged prodding and poking. I'm not sure how I feel about having to go back for it all done again though!!

In Sheffield you have to have the HSG within 5 - 10 days of your cycle or they won't do it. Hope they don't wash your egg away, they are precious things as us ladies in lttc know very well! Did they give you a reason why they want to do it so late?

I second that same at leeds, between days 6 and 9 for us!

Hi
I got my HSG done on day 8 as my doc was very clear that it has to be done before ovulation. Also, I got mine done under anesthesia where they put me under only for about 10 mins and it was easier for them too as there was no resistance from me which is natural during HSG. it was very smooth as i didnt feel a thing. Also my doc put me on an antibiotic for 3 days post HSG to rule out any infections. Hope it helps

TC and dont be disheartened

All the best

Anaesthesia sounds wonderful looknomore I hope it is an option for me next time and I will also mention the antibiotics. Luckily the achy feeling has almost gone now so I don't think I got an infection.
My gp has asked to see me on Monday as the hsg report is back in. I am now panicking that they have found something sinister for her to want to see me urgently.

Hun although it was a year or so ago since i had mine, i remember i felt fine after my HSG even went to work straight after etc but about 3 days later started getting like a subtle ache on my right towards my back, i too worried i had an infection, but it passed after about a week or so. I used to feel uncomfortable more when laid down!

I read somewhere that there is only about 2-3% chance of infection so worrying as it is it is not likely Think most discomfort is due to the fact we have had dye forced through our tubes and there may be some still trying to absorb into our bodies perhaps in the abdominal cavity

Oh and good luck with the doctors.... did the radiologist not tell you your results there and then?? Mine did she showed me the image and explained etc. Try not worry hun, its prolly nothing xx

i got a dvd with mine on it, so i can clearly see the blockage..

good luck for monday.. but as chocci says they should have told you on the day.

 

[mrphyemma]

They couldn't tell me on the day because she had to stop the procedure almost immediately as the catheter was slipping out of place so I don't think many if any images were taken. I have to go back and have it done again, this time by a gynae. xx

You at the docs today hun?

If so good luck x

Seen my gp, she got a report from the stupid doctor saying "due to technical difficulties we were unable to perform the hsg" and she recommends I see a gynaecologist. I told my doctor about the whole ordeal and she was quite stunned. She said there are no records on my notes of having any problems re my cervix/uterus and she also mentioned the smear test I had 3 weeks ago which was performed in minutes. Anyhow she made me an appointment straight away to be seen by a fs/gynae which is what I have been wanting for weeks now. Hopefully I will now get the help I need to bake a new baby!

Great! Not long to go then x

Am glad your GP was sympathetic to you going though all of this...and great news about the appt coming through so quickly....hope it goes well.....at least your are going to see a specialist this time x

 

[mrphyemma]

Thanks guys, I just feel like I am in limbo and wasting valuable time. It has been found I have low progesterone and possibly not ovulating (yet my ff charts would say otherwise) so I need help in that area, either clomid if I aren't ovulating or progesterone supplements if I am ovulating but need a boost, so it just pees me off that we are just beating around the bush by being sent for this test and that test and then this test AGAIN! Hopefully the fs will get the ball rolling in the right direction. xx

I think it's better to wait and get and HSG a few days after your period begins just to make sure and I think it's clearer too because you're about to start ovulating.
