HSG - what sorts of things can I expect them to find?

I am booked in for an HSG next week and am not scared about how painful it may or not be as I have read a lot of the other threads and am pretty sure I will be relaxed so don't need to hear that much about other people's experience while having it - but I am interested to know what sorts of things the exam is likely to discover.

I have a fear that they will either find nothing or something so bad that there is nothing they can do.

Can anyone who has had an HSG tell me what their diagnosis was and what they then had to have done to fix it, or not if they discovered nothing untoward.

thank you in advance. x

thank you Jazzandh. A part of me is hoping that there will be something easily fixable or even that the HSG itself will unblock me a bit. Sorry to hear about your blighted ovum. x

I had one - as before I had DS I was diagnosed with a lap and dye as having blocked tube.

I am sure that the lap and dye helped me conceive DS, so when I approached Dr with secondary infertility and mentioned this he was happy to go along with checking tubes again with HSG.

This showed no blockage - I believe pressure of the dye can unblock them!

I did get pregnant a month later (my primary reason for going along ). Unfortunately it was a blighted ovum

I am convinced that clearing my tubes through helped me conceive on both occasions.

Best of luck.
