    Thanks for asking about this!!!  I've never heard of it.  Maybe it's something I need to check my uterus.  I have either a Bicornuate or Septate Uterus.

    No, this is not to assist a viable pg.   I am certainly not pg.  Thanks for both responses.  The link about the procedure was very helpful.

    Thanks again.

    I had one of these during my RE's regular workup. It wasn't bad at all. A pinch like a pap and some minor cramping, but that's it.

    Any reason they're doing a saline ultrasound instead of a HSG? It's my understanding that saline doesn't check your tubes for blockages, just the general health of the ute.

    Here is the information from my nurse if anyone else wanted the information as well.  The ss checks the integrity of the cavity, which is always prudent after a loss and especially after a surgical procedure such as a D&C.  It would not need to be repeated.  The results are usually good for up to about a year, as long as you have not experienced a pregnancy, surgery, etc.  It is nowhere near as uncomfortable as an HSG.  I would suggest taking Motrin about 30 minutes before as you will experience some cramping for a very short time but again, patients consistently say it is nothing like the hsg. 

    Thanks again.

    I already had a HSG (to remove blockage in one tube)....and now the dr. is checking my ute since it is the first and only examination since my m/c...so that is why the RE is doing a saline sonogram.  Thanks.
