HSG:- how many fell pregnant after HSG?

[MaybeThisMnth]

Hi guys!

I wish i could respond to the survey but it's too early days for that right now...eek! I had my HSG (ouch) done on the afternoon of the 27th September and had a lot of EWCM four days later. I didn't do an OPK test but hubby and I BD'd just in case i was ovulating. My cycles are all over the place but it is possible that i was ovulating then (CD 14) instead of the EWCM being caused by the dye test. I've been charting my temperatures this month and there was a definite dip on CD 14 along with a continual rise for the past 4 mornings which makes me hopeful though i realise that all the changes could be a result of the HSG and not ovulation. I'd love to know if anyone had gone through a similar thing and had good news, i don't want to get my hopes up as we're now on month 26 of no luck and hope is a bit too upsetting! xXx

Thanks for starting this thread.
We too have been ttc for over a year and I had a HSG on Sep 26th. I think it is making me ovulate earlier and I usually get a positive OPK on cd 19 and today is cd 16 and I got a positive. I am also feeling cramps that I usually feel with O. I am so hopeful that this will work for us too! I have had one miscarriage over a year ago and nothing since then. All tests have come back normal.
Btw my dye was also orange in color. I have been trying to find out is this is oil or water based but no luck so far.
Btw I also felt a lot of pain she. The dye was inserted but it only lasted for 5 seconds and there was no more pain after that. The doctor said everything looked normal.
I can't wait to see what happens next!

It sounds like we're in the same boat, good luck with everything! xXx

Thank you, the same to you! Keep us updated on any changes. I am now in the two week wait and I pray it works this time.

I have also been having different than normal signs this month. Usually my temperature rises straight up after O and this time is has been going up gradually. And I had positive OPKs 3 days in a row. I bet is it the HSG that is causing all that but let's hope it's for the best.

** Update **

So, since having my HSG at the end of September i have had 5 spikes (with subsequent drops) in temperature, two separate occasions of EWCM but no positive OPK results at all. It doesn't look like i'm going to ovulate any time soon and i'm starting to feel wholly depressed! I'm eating right, going to the gym and have lost a stone in 6 weeks so don't feel as though i'm doing anything to cause this...it's just not happening! Has anyone else had a similar experience? It's all feeling very disheartening

I was having a similar thing too with the temperature and when I ovulated it rose slowly instead of straight up like normally.
I am not eithr 13 or 11 dpo and i have tested twice but both BFN. I am very impatient.

Btw i found out my HSG was done with water soluble die, so maybe that means that the orange colored ones are water soluble...

Well I did not get pregnant this month. AF is here!

With my second pregnancy I fell 2nd cycle after a lap and dye (basically a HSG done during and op) that pregnancy sadly ended up as an ectopic though and I had to have my tube removed.

I'm now pregnant after IVF.

My husband and I have been TTC for almost two years...

I had my HSG on Monday 3rd Feb... I have to say that I had some extremely odd issues during the scan and it took over an hour and several attempts before the scan was successful.

So... TMI Warning...

I have an extremely small cervical Os, which was caused by scar tissue from previous colposcopies when I was only 19 yrs old. I always felt like it was an issue, but was assured that it wasn't.

During my HSG, they said that my Os was very small, but pliable, so wouldn't be an issue. They inserted the Catheter, and started injecting the dye, but that is when the pain started - on the screen, they were stating that my cervix was getting expanded by the dye, but it wasn't flowing into my uterus. There was talk amongst the Doctor and Nurses, about how strange it was, and they were concerned that the balloon would displace. The pain became unbearable, and they stopped injecting the dye, and I felt a pop, then the pain left. Sadly, what it meant, was the balloon had popped out, but the good news was that it broke the scar tissue and my tiny Os isn't an issue anymore.. lol

So, they attempted it again, and the same thing happened, so they did a Transvaginal USS, and the passage looked clear, so they thought it must be a clot or a membrane covering the uterine entrance, near the cervix. They also saw that my uterus had a lot of fluid in it, which definitely wasn't the dye, but the balloon popped out again, while they were trying to reposition into the cervix, in attempt to dislodge what was causing the blockage - again, I was in agony.

They attempted it one last time, and this time, they got me to turn on my side, which helped to advance the catheter, and then all the fluid came spilling out, and it felt like I'd just wet myself... They had to temporarily stop, so they could clean me up, and try again, and this time, the dye flowed perfectly into my Fallopian tubes, which showed no blockages in the tubes, and over spill into the pelvis.

Just wondering if anyone else had these issues? And did they conceive? I was put in a 5 day course of antibiotics, due to the trauma of the procedure...

We are waiting to see our specialist to see where to from here.. Since we had the HSG on Day 14, we only had once chance to BD, so not hopeful for a BFP this month, but optimistic for next month...

Just wanted to add that the orange dye is water based... For those that wonder. I read that oil based is better for falling pregnant.
