Hoping for an HSG baby! Anyone else?!

[ashknowsbest]

Stinas - good luck, I'm sure you're going to be fine! Mine hurt a little bit but it was only for about a minute and then it was over and had no other pain throughout the rest of the day =D And then you'll get to see your uterus and tubes which I think is REALLY cool!

Hi girls, just wondering if any of you UK ladies could tell me how long you had to wait to be referred for HSG/fertility specialist? I have had bloods done and pelvic exam by my GP and my husband has just had results from sperm test today, which are all normal. I think the next thing for me is to check that my tubes are ok, as I know that I am ovulating, bloods are fine etc but I am just wondering how long I will have to wait and wondering whether I should go private?

Thanks!

Hi,
I am not sure how the NHS works where you are, Here in Kent, as soon as my doctor provisionally booked me in I was given papers to book myself in for an appointment that suited me.
I managed to get my appointment for about 3 or 4 weeks later. It was at that appointment that the FS booked me in for an ultra-sound and provisional HSG scan (I had to book in for that scan on CD1).

Thanks for your reply Did you doctor give you the papers then? I've got a telephone appointment booked in with him today but I feel like he has no rush in him lol!

Hi SazraD,
Yup my doc printed out the papers with all the info about which clinics I could attend and the password.
I just had to go online to book the appointment
If you have no luck with him, then see if you can get an appointment with a lady doc! I love my lady doc!!! She is fab!!
GL and FXed you get what you want

thanks skweek35! Had my telephone appt with him earlier and he said he is just going to refer me to a specialist. I asked if I could go for HSG and he said that he thinks it's best to see a specialist because if the HSG is all clear I would then have to go to specialist anyway thanks for all your help though!

Did your HSG reveal anything?

 

[DaisyQ]

Stinas - let us know how it went!

 

[skweek35]

The doc who did my HSG scan said it looked to be all clear but a panel will look at it and I will get the final results at my next FS appointment which is next Friday, 17th Feb.

I am half expecting to be told I need to wait a few months before they will offer any further help.

 

[Stinas]

Hi ladies!!!
First off, I want to thank you all for making me less stressed out before going to get the HSG done. I was not as scared as I thought I would be...I did get a little freaked out once on the table ready to go, but more nervous than anything.
I found it to be painful at first, but mostly uncomfortable...expecially when he makes you move from left to right...I felt like a weight go from side to side when moving, interesting, but very uncomfortable. The doctor that did it explained it perfectly, might hurt like bad cramps....he hit it right on the dot. So overall, it hurt, but by the time the pain shot up, it was over...5 min tops. It takes longer in the waiting room filling paperwork out. I did feel like puking and was dizzy when getting up, but nurse said its common to get dizzy, so she had me sit for a couple min before going to bathroom to clean up. Honestly, it was not super bad, just uncomfortable.
The doc pretty much finished and flew out of there. They did not tell me anything, which makes me mad because I would like to know something instead of just leaving. I didnt even catch the doctors name! I have a copy of the scans, but I have no clue whats going on in them...totally clueless.
I have no luck with doctors...i swear the nurse told me more than both docs did. Apparently I have to bring the scans to my ob, so I guess she will inform me whats going on. Until then, I am going to go ahead with my bd in a few days. As of now I am spotting a bit and have a slight bloat...and some gas, which might not be related lol

Sorry for the long rant.

 

[skweek35]

Stinas, So glad the scan wasnt as bad as you expected.

Now to wait for spotting to clear away and then to get BDing!!
When is your follow up appointment?

 

[DaisyQ]

Glad it went OK! Hope you find out soon what the results were - that would drive me crazy!

I Am so glad everything went without a hitch for you! I can't believe that doctor
Didnt discuss the status of your tubes right there and then! My doctor talked me thru the procedure, even wanted for me to see the fluid going thru my tubes on the screen.

Oh well, perhaps he wanted your obgyn to go over with it since he was not your regular doctor (FYI, my obgyn performed the procedure )


Are you just going to call your doctor to go over the scans or are you going to schedule an appointment ?

All in all I am glad you got that done with, now like crazy!

 

[ashknowsbest]

Stinas - very happy the experience wasn't horrible for you! The spotting is annoying and I totally HATED wearing a pad afterward but I was able to not wear one the next day and I was fine! Bummer that you have to wait for your results ... you can post the results if you want and we can all take a look. I know kind of what it's supposed to look like. I have copies of mine as well and can tell how both tubes were open although my doctor told me what was going on as he was doing the procedure and I could actually see it on the screen!

Well anyways! If you want to post feel free and I'll try and help if not I guess we'll find out sooner or later! Glad it went okay and it's over with!

 

[Stinas]

Thanks Ash!!!
Yeah, ill try to take a pic on my phone and post later. It just looks like a cloud to me lol

 

[ashknowsbest]

it is pretty confusing but since I got to see it on the screen while they did it I know where things generally are i guess!

So what's next for you, besides getting the results from your obgyn?

 

[Lisa92881]

Stinas so glad everything went well!!

 

[Stinas]

I have no idea! I guess im just going to go on like normal for this cycle. I will call tom for an apt with the ob and see what she wants to do....which is probably nothing if everything is clear.
Hopefully it will happen this cycle so I wont have to deal with all of this junk. Im tired! lol

 

[ashknowsbest]

TTC is exhausting, I feel your pain. I'm so over it already but I'm going to keep going because I want a baby! Lol.

 

[Lisa92881]

No kidding. I'm so sick of having sex.

Ok so on a not TTC note ....
