Glad to hear how it went and that you survived!I thought I'd check to she if you had posted before mine this morning, am trying to do the whole calm thing and your post has made me feel better! When do you get your results? And would you mind if I asked what day of your cycle you were on when you had it done? I'm on day 6 and am hoping to still be allowed to try this month!
Am now off to take some deep calming breathes!
I didn't ask for my results. I was so pleased it was over I just left without even thinking to ask! I now have to wait until we see the consultant on 11 June - ah well!
What's the next step for you - do you have any other tests?
and was worried it had affected my tubes (that's why I'm sooo relieved with my results today). But it was a good job we started as OH's sperm doesn't appear to be in great shape! I'm not sure what happens if it's just his sperm that is the problem.
). I am just hoping that everything is okay in this respect.
We have been trying since September 08 and because I am so impatient as soon as we got to the 18month point I went to the Dr's.My husband has two children from a previous marriage and whilst that was a while ago I guess we know his swimmers can work. I have had the blood tests and obviuosly the HSG and have the internal ultra sound on 20 May.
Have you tried asking your partner to take multi vitamins? Mine takes the Sanatogen father to be ones. I think there re things that can be done to help improve the sperm function so dont give up hope.
I am quite worried about Chlamydia. One of my ex-partners had numerous sexual affairs none of which he used protection for whilst of course I was also having unprotected sex with him. I know its something I should have got checked out at the time but it is very embarassing (a poor excuse I know
my sister had IVF years ago with an ex partner, his sperm were in bad shape apparently and she said there were 3 particular vitamins they put him on for 3 months to help improve the health of the sperm, i can try and find out what they were if you want
and the trans-vaginal ultra scan is a breeze compared to the HSG haha so no need to worry about that one. they just insert a thin probe and push around a bit, it doesnt seem half as invasive
It's not that bad is it? And great news that the tubes are fine, you must be relieved. It's another one to tick off! I think you've probably got a scan next, that seems to be the order. The good news is I've heard they aren't painful, so there is nothing to worry about there!
I've just checked my letter for the scan, appareently it doesn't matter if you are on your period when they do it. That sounds a bit grim ladies!!!
Tell you what after we all finally get pregnant and give birth it should be a walk in the park after all these tests!
I read that in my letter too and said to DH there is no way I am having anyone furkling around in my bits and pieces when its my time of the month.... that's just disgusting!
Oooh I'm not so sure about a walk in the park springflower... if I got that nervous with an HSG what am I going to be like in labour? Then again once its in there its got to come out!!!

Hey!
OH has been very good with taking vitamins, he now has Selenium, Zinc, and Pycnogenol every day. He has also stopped smoking. Drink is harder though as there always seems to be something that needs to be celebrated. I think it's harder for blokes as well, socialising revolves around drinking.
Our problem with the swimmers has come as a big shock. When he was younger he got someone pregnant so we were so surprised when those results weren't good. Hopefully the vitamins will help!
I think you would know by now if you had it. I'm also pretty sure that they test you for STD's when they are checking fertility as well. You could always get a test from Boots - I think they sell them now. Much less embarassing! You will probably feel better once you know for certain.
Just read my post back what with the Chlamydia and pregnancy, OH and I must look like a right pair!!
Yay! That's another of us ladies safely through!! Have you had your internal ultrasound yet? That looks for PCOS and endometriosis. I dont know about you ladies but part of me wants them to find something so that I am able to do something about it. My owrst nightmare is going into the unexplained category.
thanks all for your posts! i have my hsg scheduled for next wednesday april 21. was a little nervous but will be glad to be over with it and have the results so we can move on to baby making!! as long as results are good, i am starting my clomid next cycle
Ohh would you mind asking your sister, I'd be interested to know what he took.

dont think i'd fancy that!
