HSG:- how many fell pregnant after HSG?

[myhubbyyumyum]

Hi everyone.
Me-23-Ovulating Myself.
Husband-25-Semen Analysis-120,000,000.
TTC-29 Months
Clomid-Failed 6 months (Dotor prescribed this even though I was ovulating myself).

Hi everyone. So I've wrote a bit about myself above. If you want to know anything about me, just ask, I'm here to talk to everyone about their journey whether you're TTC or pregnant.

So today I had a HSG, everything was ok. The nurse told me what she wants to see is a triangle with a line on each side. So after the HSG. I sat up and looked on te screen. She showed me the x-ray and said it was good news and my tubes were clear. She didn't tell me whether I can have sex the same day after the HSG. Can anyone tell me about their HSG, how it went? Did you have sex straight after?

I'd love for everyone that had an HSG to take this poll and vote whether they fell pregnant after. I'd also love if you left a little comment about your experience. Thanks )

Can't wait to get sone answers. X

Didn't want to read and run, but I have no experience in this. But maybe you will have more responses in the Trying to Conceive forum? Although I'm sure there are some ladies here who have gone through your same procedure and become pregnant. GL!

Hi
I did fall pregnant the same cycle as the HSG, after 19 months trying to concieve, truely believe its what did it. Me and my husband did not have sex that night, I think about 2 days later we did, but I was only on cd 7 when I had it done, so I wasnt close to ovulation. The test was super painful, and I read somewhere that if it was super painfl, it could be cause you had a little blockage, and the dye broke it up. Mine came out normal, it took awhile for the dye to go through.
I hope it works for you!

Hiya, thanks so much for commenting and voting. I'm glad to hear that you are expecting after 19 months. It's been 29 months for me and don't think I can go on anymore getting bfn...
My hsg was done on cd 6. I am on cd 7. My cycles are regular 30 days, I ovulate myself. I do have clomid, do you think I should take 1 or 2 tablets to boost the chance of conceiving?
When do you think I should baby dance?
My HSG came out ok, she said it's good news and they were clear.
Could it have been blocked slightly and the HSG 'unblocked' it?
Where will the 'blockage' go if it was unblocked by HSG?
When you saw your results on screen did you see the ovaries? I didn't. I saw a triangle and two wiggly lines on each side. When I googled HSG results and looked at the images, you could see their ovaries at the end of the wiggly lines?
Or maybe the x-ray they used isn't as good as the others which shows ovaries etc...
I heard oil based dye increases your chance by 49% and water based dye increases only by 29%. how do I know which one I had?



Wishing your pregnancy is wonderful. And you have a healthy gorgeous baby.

So I baby danced last night. My fertile days are 24-30 July. I always baby dance before incase I ovulate early. I will try till 4 august so it should some how catch the egg.
Anyone???

Just a note, remember there are two totally different types fo dyes that can be used in the HSG test, a water soluable dye and an oil based dye. While the water sol. dye has less complications, the oil based one actually has a slightly higher level of pregnancy afterwards. But it is about 6 months after, not directly.
While both solutions will help 'clear out' any small issues in the tubes while testing, the oil based dye is also being studied as helping clear out some small amounts of buildup from endometriosis around the ovaries and other areas.
My fertility specialist is working on studies with the oil based dye on women with unexplained infertility (like me), and usuing a little more than normal in the procedure. I've had the test twice. The first time I had it I had been ttc for years. Six months after the test, I got pregnant. I lost that baby at 13 weeks, but the next month I got pregnant again with my son. I had the test again last July after trying for a year again, and six months later I got pregnant with this baby.
Coincidence, or is my doctor on to something? Who knows, but it worked for us, so I'm happy!

 

[myhubbyyumyum]

Thank you for writing.
How long were you ttc?
Also how do I know which dye they used on me? After the procedure I had a orangey/red fluid coming out (sorry tmi).
It didn't look like blood, is the orange/red solution oil-based? Were there any complications with your partner? Low sperm count? X

We had been ttc for 14 months when I had my hsg. We got our bfp the same cycle. all our fertility tests came back normal. I think it did help flush things out but also prob the relief that the tubes seemed clear may have helped. I was sure my tubes may have been scarred as I had a burst appendix as a teenager. It will be interesting to see the results of this survey...

Hiya,
Thanks for commenting. I'm so happy you hot your BFP. Seriously. When I stated ttc I felt jealous of people around that had their BFP but now I feel feeling envious is a bad thing and if I were pg I'd want people to be happy for me. That's when I started feeling happy for couples getting their BFP. My sis in law just had a baby boy last month. It did suck that she tried the first cycle she got pg. Sometimes I feel she rubs it in my face. Yh it will be really interesting to see the results cant wait till there's about 50 votes. Then we can see a rough guide. When did you do your HSG also what cycle day was it? Then what cycle day did you get your BFP? X

 

[kcsandoval]

Hello, I just had a HSG done 7/11 and no BFP yet - I have irregular periods, from 17 to 35. I have an ultrasound apt on monday so we will see what's next!

 

[myhubbyyumyum]

Hope everything goes well for you. I'm hoping this poll goes well. I haven't got to my fertile days yet. I'm assuming my fertile days are 24/7-30/7. Hope I get my BFP this month. Hope you do too x x

 

[myhubbyyumyum]

Come on. There must be more out there lol 

Sorry hun didnt see this post
For the clomid, I would use the normal dosage, as you don't want to over stimulat your ovaries, it will do more harm than good. I did see the ovaries at the end to the tubes, but they had a very nice machine that showed my entire stomach. Did you have alot of pain during the procedure? I believe the junk just flowed out of the tubes if there was blockage. If there was a tiny amount of blockage that got cleared, there is no way they would have known as the dye released it. I hope you get your well deserved BFP! Long term ttc is hard, and I really feel your pain, and hope you get a positive result very very soon. As for ovulation I would bd anytime you think you are fertile. I was about to start clomid, and after 19 months I figured there was no point in trying till my next cycle when I started clomid. I didn't even think about fertile days, or time sex. I just lived life, went out for drinks with my hubby and relaxed. It really did the trick!

 

[jenniferttc1]

Oh yeah forgot to add, im pretty sure they used the oil-based dye. When it came out it was really oilly texture, like lubrication.

 

[myhubbyyumyum]

Hi  was your dye red/orangey? Mine was. It's my fertile week this week but I missed the first day which was yesterday so pretty upset about that  my fertile days goes up to 30/07/11. I'm normally relaxed but now I've heard HSG encourages pregnancy I want to get lots of practice in. But a bit upset after hubby didn't want to do last night (He had a long day). So hope I still have a chance to get my BFP this month. X

hi girls,
I am going for an HSG on Thursday. Is it really painful? My doctor told me it could feel anywhere like mild to very severe menstrual cramping and the nurse said the cramping only lasts for about 20 seconds. Is this accurate? I was prescribed an antibiotic to begin taking the day before and told to take up to four iboprofren an hour before the test. Is this what you did as well?

Thanks! I'm really nervous about this test!

 

[myhubbyyumyum]

Hiya. Hope you're well. I'm not going to lie it did hurt, yes. While I was having it done I couldnt bare it, it was the worst pain I experienced ever! But it was over so quick not even 20 seconds, the pain for me was only about 5 seconds. After the procedure I was feeling dizzy, like I didn't know what happened. Then after I went home I started feeling a little sick. But was ok. I was prescribed anti biotic but took it the day after the HSG. I did take 2 ibuprofen before the procedure. But they say if it hurts they could have been a blockage but the dye pushed it away. I'm hoping that's what happened to me and hopefully I'll get my BFP this month. I did miss baby dance yesterday as hubby was too tired. I was a bit upset as my fertile week started yesterday. (
I hope you get your BFP! Don't worry about the HSG. You'll be fine. Just stay relaxed during the procedure as being tense actually makes it worse. 

 

[jenniferttc1]

The dye was actually clear, but I had some reddish/brown spotting in it.

 

[myhubbyyumyum]

Hiya. Anyone else out there? Come on they must be! Theirs thousands of couples ttc.

@jenniferttc1- my dye was red/orange. Unless it was blood? Can't be there was orange to it so can't be blood? This is my fertile week I'm getting clear stretchy cm. First time since ttc (29 months).
