Anyone had a HSG test?

emilythompson35

I'm scheduled for a HSG test on Thursday after years of TTC and I've been on Clomid for three months (but not this month due to the test).  I'm about to turn 37 and hoping for some positive results.  I know everyone is different but has anyone stopped Clomid, had a HSG test and had a BFP soon after?

Thanks!

You may want to edit your thread question to say "Has anyone had a hsg and gotten a BFP soon afterwards?" or something like that as your thread title is not what you were really asking.

Some people will say that after an HSG, it will help clear things out, which raises the rate of fertility... This factsheet from ASRM discusses the possibility.  https://www.asrm.org/FACTSHEET_Hysterosalpingogram/  Good luck!

Yes, I had one. It showed that tube was blocked. I had surgery to ligate the tube. 3 retrievals and 6 transfers later it worked.

It's was a marathon with a lot of hurtles but crossing the finish line makes it all worth it.

Ask your doctor if you can take anything before. I'll be honest, it was the worst thing ever.

Everyone's experience is different. Mine wasn't bad at all. I took 3 ibuprofen an hour beforehand, and it never got worse than my typical first day period cramps. Hearing the horror stories and creating the fear was worse than the actual experience for me.

The "cleanout" didn't work for me in those first 3 months, but I have heard it float around re: success. Good luck to you!

HSG is a diagnostic test only. Some women experience a bfp after naturally or with iui since the tubes have been flushed and cleared allowing the sperm to better meet the eggs. If this isn't your problem it doesn't change anything (such as egg quality, implantation rates etc.)
the HSG itself isn't so bad and could bring to light good information for moving forward though. Good luck.

I had one a couple years ago. Worst pain of my life, never got a bfp

I did get my first (and only) BFP the cycle right after my HSG. It ended up as a chemical pregnancy so I think there was just a chromosomal anomaly that caused it not to work. BUT... the good news is egg and sperm met right after! I know another girl that got her first BFP after about 6 months of treatment after her HSG. She now has a healthy little boy!

I too had my first BFP right after my HSG. It was also my first cycle of Clomid and my first cycle post laparoscopy, so I had that working in my favor. Unfortunately it ended at about 6 and a half weeks, but I think I had several things all at once to help the process along.

I've had this and it was only painful for 10 seconds during the test. After that only has painful as a period cramp here and there.

I also wanted to give you a heads up that you may not find too many success stories with this question on this forum. Most people with success either leave the forum or participated on this forum a while (most likely longer than the 3 months) and come back to check on people/give advice where they can.
