Hello, really grateful to anyone who can give me some advice on HSG. I have been ttc for over a year, and have endometriosis. The gynae doctor told me I would need to get an HSG done in the first 14 days of my cycle. She said it would increase my chance of conceiving, but only during the month in which it was done, so I should try to conceive after having it done.
Today the radiology dept called and offered an appt for the HSG, on day 17 - i.e. too late to conceive this month (and I am not allowed to ttc before the test, due to the risk from the xrays). I tried to explain that this was too late, and that it was important I got it done before day 14 to increase my chances. The woman told me the test could be done anytime up to day 20, and in any case there were no earlier appts available - I could try calling back next month but it would probably be the same. She obviously wasnt interested in listening to what I was saying.
Ended up bursting into tears in the office after this extremely frustrating phone call, and now wondering what to do? The leaflet the Dr gave me clearly says that the test will be done in the first 14 days so I am pretty sure I am not going mad here? The problem with my hospital is that it is pretty much impossible trying to speak to anyone on the phone, anyone you do manage to get hold of just tries to fob you off, so the only thing I can think of doing is taking the day off tomorrow and going down there to try and sort it out?
If anyone can has any advice that will stop me from screaming or killing someone I would very much appreciate it, thank you!
