Has anyone had a hysterosalpingography?

lol, I was thinking about crushing them and mixin it up in DH's food cos I know he won't take tablets but as it was we didn't need them, I do have a friend thou who's DH took zinc and they started health eating plan fruit veg all organic etc.. loose boxers no hot baths and things have taken a vast improvement for them with his swimmers. so good luck with it.

hmmm interestingabout zinc got some downstairs given to me by a customer hmmmmmmm dh are you there got some little tablets for you to take.

well if it is, get him on the zinc tablets! lol, (we did cheat a bit with DH's test cos he was allowed to bring the pot home so we BD every other day for a week b4 hand left it for 2 days then he did the test) he got a 32 mil result so he's more than happy with that as when he was younger he was tld his was below average and we'd have problems but it all seems to bein order now and average.

thanks munz dh sperm tests not due till 29th though hope to god its not that.

good luck hon will be thinkin of u! - worked for me didn't it, month of and monht after the HSG. good luck.

im going next thurs feel better for reading this.

thanks hon,

we're on CD 11 now (only BD once as I wanted to wait for 24 hrs after the op b4 doing anything) only BD once so far, but DH is willing to have 3 goes today then once tomorrow/tuesday (might go for twice on both days actually) I sooo want this baby, we've been TTC for just on a year, althou he's been away for 5.5 months of it. it feels like the longest time since I stopped the pill. have u looked in our new thread it's called www.wewantaspringbabynow.com u're more than welcome it's in the conception boards.

thats fab news munz. have you been ttc for long and are you in time to try this month, was told not to have unprotected sex before procedure and as had it done day 11 it was b4 my ovulation day. My dh going away on day 15 so gonna ttc as much a can b4 that and hope get lucky - lots of luck for you too

oh hon sorry I couldn't come on yesterday and tell u, it felt like i needed a good poop lol, I have the all clear as well thou so that's good at least. and my blood count is normal so hopefully a month or two and I should have a beanie of my own!

Just got home, tubes are ok!. Procedure wasn't as bad as I thought - didn't feel anything once equipment was in place. How was yours munz? I hope you had good news too. Was so releived when told me all was ok (treated myself to fish and chips on the way home for lunch!) but now am just confused as to y can't get pg again. Have been thinking about it and the last time got pg we'd been trying for a year and the month we conceived my dh went away for a few days around time I ovulated so I assumed we'd missed it for that month and the whole pregnancy thing went out of my head and I didn't think about it at all until my period came, which of course it didn't - can only think that the key is not to think about it all the time like I have been doing and just chill out - what else can I do.

diz - i'm told it's a deep breathing excersice! lol, and take some pain killers. I'm worried about mine mainly about the pain i'll be in, but i'll allow DH to buy me some choc (sod the diet!) lol.

mine's tomorrow, will report back exactly what it's like. good luck with urs.

Hi, I've got my HSG on Friday (13th!). I've been getting myself in a right state about it - reading this thread has made me feel a bit more positive about it now that I know a bit more about what the procedure involves. Have not been thinking too much about the results - too be honest have been focusing on the worst case scenario and looking into IVF - at least then if its good news (please, please) it will be a bonus! will be having it done on day 11 so at least can still ttc this month, I assume can bd same day as procedure? surprised and pleased to hear that the procedure may even help things a little bit, got to be more than a conincidence that some ladies have got pg shortly after the procedure... heres hoping! such a releif to have this site and see that other people having similar experiences and subsequent positive result. Best wishes to all having the test soon, let us know how you get on. I shall let you know as soon as I get home on Friday.....fingers crossed for everyone

well AF turned up all be it late, but it's here booked in at the hospital next thursday will only be CD 8 so there's still a chance that this coming month will be lucky hopefully as long as nothings blocked up!

Hi Munz

Mine was a bit of a nightmare to be honest - they couldn't get the tube up - said the entrance to my cervix was too smal!!!! Anyway, it was eventually done at the same time as my lap. I was pg the next month!

That's what I did, had it at 5pm or so.

thanks nic, i'm petrified they'll find somehting bad as i've only got one tube, I think i'll try to get the apt for as late in the day as poss so then I can go straight home if it is bad news cos I won't wanna go to work either if it is. will keep u all posted thou. at least my cervix looks healthy!

It took an hour though the actual procedure itself was fairly quick. Worth taking some ibuprofen first as it's a bit crampy. Not sure about taking the day off - I drove myself home afterwards but it depends how you feel. The radiologist showed me my tubes there & then (they were fine) but if they'd been blocked I wouldn't have wanted to go to work straight after. Fell pregnant 4 months after the HSG ( had been trying for over 3 years) after a course of reflexology.
Good luck, it's not that bad.

i'm resurrecting this thread if u don't mind girls, I have mine next week and i'm petrified they'll find something bad going on down there. i'm so scared about it all. how long after having it done did u all fall? is it worth having that day off of work? how long did the whole thing take? I only ask cos I don't want my work to know just yet about the tests we're having done.

girls, does this thing happen after your first visit to the gyno?

Mrsfogi, I had a lot of scarring after a d& C following a mc. The scarring was so bad that it blocked the cervical os and even though I was having a period each month I couldn't bleed it was very painful. The Hysterosalpingogram was also very painful. I needed another d & c to break down the scar tissue, an IUD to keep evenything 'open' and hormone treatment to reline the uterus. this took a year. I then went to to concieve 2 children quite naturally and carried them with no probelms. I was also warned that I could have problems, but in the end I didn't. So it can be OK, and I had quite a had case. Hope that everything goes well.

I know how you feel, MrsFogi!

I have worked up myself so much with this ttc business, that absolutely anything can set my mood up or down.

I am a bit confused whether I should go through it. my doctor gave me an appointment for it only because I asked what exactuly it meant.... so he said "Here, you can do it, but I don't see the point". Go figure!
I am to start Clomid next cycle, but i don't know whether you can take clomid and at the same time have the hyst done. so if i do the hyst for the next cycle, i waist another month of not taking clomid.

Cheers MrsFogi,

How did you know you were left with scarring after the D&C? did they tell you after the procedure or you found out at the hysterosalpingography?

after having the procedure done, can one still ttc for that month or is the month waisted? It's usually done a day or two after af, right?
