had a HSG but they want to take yet another look. at this rate every doc in the UK will be able to draw a map of my fecking reproductive organs from memory!

Yes, I saw photos too. Mind you I was still somewhat out of it (GA had far longer lasting effect on me the second time round last year) when the consulatant went through it all with me.

Hope all goes well. (I'm sure it will)

whomovedmychocolate · 13/06/2008 22:05

I think they do that for fun Hulababy, I suspect they could slip in a picture of Postman Pat and you wouldn't notice.

Mine said: look this is a corpus luteum and I was so out of it I was thinking 'does that mean I have a dead light bulb in my ovary?'

LOL! I got shown all the before and after shots after both ops - DH was also shown them at the consultant's appointment a few week's later. I really could not figure out what I was looking at. I got to see the adhesions, etc and after they;d gone. Also had the other scan HSG??? and got to see the video as it happened too.

lol, when i had my HSG (a year ago, oddly enough) the doc was trying to dislodge a blockage in my left tube. was there for 10 mins and said "theres something in the left fallopian tube that we cant move".

my reply?

"i have no left tube. you removed it 4m ago you tosser"

Did you get any info laying out any rules? I can't remember whether I was told to abstain or not.

OracleInaCoracle · 15/06/2008 21:33

nope. when i had my HSG i was told not to, but i presumed that was because of the dye and xray.

I'm having one too soon (no date yet) for ? Ashermans - mine will be under LA though.

Hope it went well, let us know how you got on!

Hulababy · 17/06/2008 19:21

Hope all went well lissielou

Hi Mags - mine, and the rest of the treatment after the two ops, were for Asherman's also. Hope all goes well. I now appear to be rid of the awful monthly pains, although still have some issues I need to discuss with the consultant when I see him in July.

mags98 · 17/06/2008 21:23

Hi Hulababy - good to know someone else has been through this problem too. They don't know if I have the Ashermans, but I had a missed MC last summer then basically no periods with abdo pain and just very very light spotting since (and another early mc about 2 months ago) so they suspect it might well be that.

Am terrified this will cause ongoing problems getting pregnant - quite apart from the procedure of hysteroscopy itself (which will be under LA) so any positive info you can offer will be good right now.

However, positive OPK 1 week ago, so maybe in a week it won't be needed... (I wish!)

whoops · 18/06/2008 10:29

How did it go? Are you feeling ok?

Hulababy · 18/06/2008 17:37

Fingers crossed Mags.

Ashermans has been one of the causes of my infertility, since having DD. Been TTc for nearly 4 years now, but only had the two hysteoscopies late last year. Have hadlots of hormone tablets following each too - lead to lots of time off work, as the tablets mande me very vunerable (I have to be very careful as my workplace is a prison). Have another consultant's appointment in July to discuss findings from latest fertility tests; so fingers crossed for me too.

mags98 · 01/07/2008 21:07

I have my hysteroscopy next tuesday

I am very nervous as I won't be having an aesthetic...
