I see, THANK YOU so much. which of those two did you have first? why did you end up having to do two if you don't mind me asking? Don't they both access the same the thing?? And which of the two would you say is better to do and why?
TIA
i had the HSG first and then the sonohystero 2nd - i don't htink it matters which one happens first.
Each test looks at different things:
the HSG flushes dye into your uterus and through your tubes, via xray the dr can watch the dye as it flows through your tubes. if there are any blocked tubes, or tubal issues it will be seen here because the dye will not pass through
the sonohystero fills the uterus up with saline (so it's not pushed through into the tube). once the uterus is "inflated" with saline the vaginal u/s can take pics of the uterus lining..look for any abnormalities - polyps, fibroids, uterus strucutre issues
i had the hsg to make sure my tubes were clear bc i've had cysts removed and issues can arise (scar tissue, torque/pulling on tubes etc)
i had the sonohystero bc i've had uterine polyp
I see. therefore, I'm guessing they'll do the sonohystero on me and IF they don't find anything, then perhaps they'll have me get an HSG done to check my tubes. Because a Sonohystero does not thoroughly check your tubes for blockage then, correct? How many mgs. or what brand of pain killer did you take if any before your procedures?
Correct, sonohystero only looks at the uterus. HSG checks the tubes.
Generally, if you have issues getting a bfp - HSG is first because no BFP at all could mean tube blockage. If you are getting BFPs but then m/c, then perhaps sonohystero first, because tubes are good if you're getting BFP but perhaps issue with uterus lining.
I took 2 x 200 mg advil...i took one pill 1 hour before and the other pill 30 min before...just to spread it out, i didn't want to take both 1 hour before and then they wear off by the time i get in there....i found 2 x 200 mg sufficient, however i did not have any blockage in tubes and i have read that there is more cramping/pain if tubes are blocked
BreakingDawn, you have helped me in so many ways with your responses! I truly appreciate all of your feedback. I take it, your still tcc. Idk how long ago you had these procedures done..but i'm praying you get your real soon.
