Just thought I'd share my comedy medical receptionist conversation of the day.
Me - Hello, I got the letter rough about my HSG today and I was just wondering if there was any chance I could get it done in the next few days as I've just finished my period (it says on the letter you have to have it after you bleeding has stopped and before day 10)
R - I don't think so but let me check.
Me - ok, it's just that my last period lasted over 3 weeks so if I don't have it now then it could be ages before my next slot.
R - ok we have a space, when was the first date of your last period
Me - Boxing day, like I said it was over 3 weeks long
R - Oh you can't have it, it has to be before day 10 in case you're not pregnant
Me - Yes I understand that, but I can't be pregnant because I've only just finished my period
R - But you could be pregnant as it's after day 10 of your cycle
Me - But I'm not
R - You need to see your specialist
Me - I did, on monday
R - Oh, well you still can't have it, call again on day 1 of your next cycle.
Luckily, I could see the funny side of it, but I was definitely in the "I know more than you about this" camp
