HSG question

xladybassx

So I got the results back from a bloodtest on Friday and the nurse said I have not ovulated this cycle (currently on CD 50).  They are starting me on Provera (just took the first dose) and will hopefully start a period soon so all this business can get rolling!  Once my period starts I have to schedule an HSG.  Meanwhile, my husband is getting a SA.  I was told when I had my first RE appt 2 weeks ago that the most likely recommendation would be meds/injections/IUI (except my insurance doesn't cover IUI...but that's an entirely separate issue).  I am wondering, can I start Clomid/Injections the same cycle as the HSG or do I have to wait for the next cycle?  I am concerned because if I have to wait until the next cycle everything will have to be put on hold because DH will be away for training (Army) at that time.  He won't be back until mid July.  This is so frustrating....frustrating enough that my cycle is irregular and I am not ovulating, and now that I finally have an RE, and we are finally going to come up with a treatment, the Army has to take DH away.  Oh, and we are going to be re-stationed 13 months from now and my hope was to have a baby before we move (since we are actually close to our families right now) which leaves us exactly 4 months to make a baby.  At this point I feel like that time line is pretty hopeless and our parents will just have to fly to Hawaii, or Germany, or wherever the heck the Army wants to send us next in order to meet their grandchild.  If we ever get pregnant at all.  On the upside, since I know for a fact I'm not pregnant, I decided to have a glass of wine tonight.  It was delicious.

Hi, I had my HSG during my first medicated cycle.  I assume they would have stopped the cycle had they found anything wrong but all was well.  Take some Advil beforehand and good luck.

I ended up postponing my HSG due to several factors, but my RE was going to do mine at the beginning of my first Clomid cycle.

I wouldn't do an HSG during a medicated cycle.. wouldn't want to waste the meds if tubes were blocked. Plus, I've ovulated as early as CD11 on Clomid, if I would have had an HSG on CD9 or CD10, that would not have been good as they don't want you to have an HSG around ovulation.

My RE won't do a medicated cycle before or during the HSG cycle.

I also wouldn't recommend starting a medicated cycle before having completed your HSG as I wouldn't want to waste a medicated cycle if tubes are blocked.

 This. 

 

Glad you were able to enjoy a glass of wine to calm the mood!

My RE did an HSG this cycle.  I, however, had previously had a SSHG which was normal in my initial diagnostics.  It was on my insistence that he ordered an HSG prior to the IUI.  We paid OOP for this cycle, and I didn't want to have the IUI done if my tubes were blocked.  RE's contention was that the chance was very slim, but I wanted more reassurance.  I don't know if he would do an HSG in an injects cycle or not.  I didn't ovulate until CD21 with Clomid during my CCT, so I guess he thought there was a low risk to doing it on CD10 this cycle. 

However, I agree....since injects are expensive, I wouldn't want to waste them with blocked tubes.
