HSG / Clomid stories

I've been TTC #2 for almost 2 years now, with a MMC last year.
The consultant thinks the issue could be post c section complications, or perhaps endometriosis.

I've found it so hard and upsetting at times but have recently stopped thinking about it as much and just feel a bit numb TBH.

However, my HSG is coming up and I've just started on Clomid so all of those old feelings are cropping up and I feel the need to talk with those who've been there.

Does anyone who has had a HSG have any tips? Perhaps "What I wish I knew before mine"? I've heard they can be painful...

Also, how about Clomid experiences? I did a 5 day course which finished 2 days ago and don't feel any different. Do signs come later?

Finally... any success stories?!

My two babies are clomid babies, my first was conceived a month after my hsg and first month on clomid!

My HSG was pretty uncomfortable and I had painful cramps for the next day after, however others I've spoken to haven't cramped at all , so be prepared with painkillers but hope for the best!

Good luck!!

Oh and forgot to add, I didn't have any symptoms while taking clomid, so don't worry if you don't either x

@mammy202223 Ah, that is so wonderful! Thank you for sharing.

My HSG was pain free so I hope it still did "something"?! The consultant talked about it moving sludge along, so I'm hoping for that.

I've had minor cramps today (like very mild AF cramps) and still no Clomid symptoms.

Hi
I had a hsg many years ago and recall it being quite painful. I also got pregnant on my first round of clonid but sadly had a MMC. They fertility clinic suggested ivf after one round of clomid as I had complications BUT before then I had got pregnant naturally. I then went on to have 6 pregnancies naturally. They assumed the clomid somehow kickstarted my fertility! So I hope this gives you hope❤️God is Great.
