TTC After a Loss

WWYD--HSG?(long)

 I knew as soon as we started to TTC, my crazy, obsessive side would come out.  My OB and I discussed our TTC plan of action last month.  She said that if I wasn't pg in 6 months of normal cycles, then come back for an HSG and we'd go from there.  At the time, I was fine with that plan.

  But now I'm thinking that I want the HSG now instead of later.  I've only got 1 tube left so I'm stressing that it's blocked too.  My rational side tells me to calm down and give it some time, but my crazy, control freak side is telling me to get HSG now so I know what I'm dealing with.  I don't want to have 6 months of BFN's only to find out that it's blocked and we wasted all of that time.  I'm turning 35 next week too, so that's probably where part of my hysteria is coming from!

So, WWYD?  Should I just calm down and give it some more time?  I am just really impatient and I hate feeling out of control.  I promised myself that I wouldn't get this way, but it's too late for that.  Thanks for your input!

  • I would request to the the HSG - no reason to waste time.  I would hope your dr. would be understanding about wanting to be sure that things are ok.

  • I would talk to your doctor and tell him what you're thinking. When you started your plan the circumstances were different than they are now. It isn't likely something that would hurt and there is a lot to be said for peace of mind.

  • Give it time and it will be ok.  I just got back from my 2nd HSG and it is okay.  Had an ectopic and they wanted to check my lonely tube.  It will be find just relax.

  • I would tell your doctor that you are really anxious and share your feelings with her (and if she doesn't agree, you may want a second opinion). My doctor wanted me to get mine two months after my surgery (just so I had enough time to heal). Usually just having an ectopic is enough reason to have an HSG done. Plus they say if everything turns out clear, the 3 months following the procedure tend to give you a better chance of conceiving. It clears out rusty old pipes so to say. I would definitely try to get it done sooner than 6 months. Why wait?

  • I feel why wait when you can results. You are going to keep stressing about it and that will not be good for you. I would talk to your Dr. and see what they say.
