so... I have yet another question about my (hopefully) upcoming HSG - bear with me as the situation is slightly complicated.
I was ordered an HSG by my doc on CD 9 of last cycle. So I had a long wait until my next CD 1 but the hope of upcoming answers has kept me going. Today is CD 1 so I called to schedule. the first question was how long my flow is. i said 5 days with 2 days of spotting. she said it needs to be done after all spotting has stopped but cannot be done after CD10 as the uterine lining begins to build back up. So that left day 8,9 and 10. well 9 and 10 are a weekend and day 8 the PA who does the HSG is off and no docs are available.
she wanted me to wait until next month. we all know that in ttc time, that's like a lifetime. I asked why I needed to be totally done bleeding and she said because even if you're bleeding there is a chance you could be pregnant? I really don't understand it... if that's the case, I could bleed and still be pregnant on day 10??? I asked if I could do an earlier day and take a pregnancy test there so they know i'm not. she said she would call the doc and ask.
the doc never got back to her so she made a deal with me. she put me in for next week but I'm supposed to call that morning if I'm still bleeding at all to cancel. I just swear that I've heard of other women talk about having their HSGs done while they were still bleeding a bit?
my question is - has anyone been spotting the day of their HSG? I know I will be the day she scheduled me and I don't want to cancel. if it were unsafe or something like that, I wouldn't dream of it. but I know I'm not pregnant and her reasoning just wasn't making sense to me....
so please, can anyone help?
