After HSG?

hwkeyebrideinstl · May 2013

So I had my HSG three weeks ago. I called my doctor a week after that to ask "now what?" but he hasn't gotten back to me yet. I'm going to call again, but I want to be armed with more information on next steps. So, what was the typical next step for everyone after you had your HSG (and assuming it came back normal)? TIA!

Has YH had his SA? After all that was done, we started clomid...but everyone's different. Hope you get a plan soon!

Same here. After b/w, HSG, and SA all came back normal, we did a Clomid + TI cycle, and then moved to Clomid + IUIs.

But your plan of action will depend on your test results. For example, if your HSG came back abnormal, they may want to do other testing or a lap. Or if the SA came back low, you might have to get your H further diagnosis/treatment first.

GL!

We did our HSG before the S/A, but as soon as S/A came back low we moved straight to RE and had a sit down on "the plan" and did cd3 blood work and baseline U/S because the meeting happen to take place on cd3. The plan was then to move forward with clomid & IUI but we waited six months to see a uro and take vitamins, and be able to afford treatment so our "now what" turned into "Oh, we should probably wait." As PP said, everyone's plan is different based on testing results.

I did the same thing! It was actually much better than I had thought! There was a lot of pressure/discomfort to the point where I thought I was going to scream but by the time that thought went through my head it was already over! It seriously goes by so quick, you'll be fine just take some pain killers before hand. GL

Thanks for the replies, everyone! And yes, I'm quite annoyed RE didn't get back to me. DH did have his SA done (and for some reason that isn't showing up in my siggy even though it should be since it's showing up when I go to My Avator & Sig...grrr). He had slightly low count (14 million; RE said he looked for at least 15M), low motility at 14%, and morph was abnormal. He's been taking FertilAid and Motility Boost for the last 3ish weeks (yeah, I know, still pretty early for results).

As for my own HSG in reply to those just above, eh, mine was kind of worse than I expected. I will say there was a med student that was doing the inserting, so maybe that had something to do with it (maybe not quite as skilled yet). It was quite uncomfortable and a little painful (worse than my worse cramps ever) for a few minutes, but once the speculum was removed, I was immediately A LOT more comfortable. Maybe from a 6 down to a 2 or 1--basically I could tell something was there but it wasn't really painful). One of my tubes was very open, but they couldn't really see my other one very well to definitively tell me it was open (the dye was kind of obscuring the view; they even had me roll my hips a few different ways to see if that would help). All indications were that it was though.

To address the bolded up above, you have to press the save button 10-15 times in a row really fast for changes on your siggy to actually save. It sounds ridiculous (because it is), but that's the way to get it to work.

After our initial testing was completed (b/w, u/s, SA, HSG and MRI), we sat down with our RE for a mini-consult to discuss the results. Then we came up with a plan (for us, clomid, trigger & IUI).

Right after the HSG the RE talked to me about how it went. He thought there may be a polyp so I had a Saline Sono a few days later. Luckily everything came back fine. DH had a SA around when I had my HSG. I then waited for AF and started Clomid IUI the next cycle. I would definitely call again for next steps.

Right after my HSG my RE talked about how everything went and my DH had already had two SA so we went right into our treatment plan. Good luck to you!

We went through our testing in February. The FSH, estradiol, TSH, HSG and SA all came back normal. I was asked what I wanted to do next, I said we would TTC for three more cycles since some couples do conceive after an HSG and my doctor was still a little hesitant about putting me on Clomid. We just had our Clomid appointment this past Monday and I think because I waited a few more months, the doctor was more willing to discuss Clomid. If I don't get a BFP this cycle, then I can call for a prescription to be phoned in.

no advice, but I hope your HSG comes back normal!
