So bummed

JennaNAaron

I went in for my HSG this afternoon and they couldn't do it.   The doctor (TMI warning) couldn't get my cervix to open at all.  I had a cone biopsy 6 years ago to remove some bad cells and she said that is probably why it is so narrow.  She was unsure if there was even a way my doctor could fix it.

We were really hoping for some answers.  DH and I both cried the whole way home from the hospital.  I'm going to call my insurance and see if I need a referral to see an RE because I feel like my OBGYN isn't going to be helpful for much longer and it'll probably be awhile before I even hear from her.  The radiologist said she would send the info to her, but we'll see.....

I have no idea of what HSG stands for or what RE stands for either, but I know enough of your story to give you a heartfelt "I'm sorry."  You must be so frustrated...just try to stay positive, and be there for each other.  If you guys can get through this, you can get through anything--and hopefully you'll have little ones in your future.

I'm so sorry. I know it's hard right now, but try and keep positive thoughts. I hope things work out for you guys!

I am so sorry...

Where in NC do you live? I saw a great RE when we were going through our issues and could send you her information...

Sorry to hear about this.  Hope you can find some answers soon.

I'm so sorry that you're dealing with this.  I think going to an RE is the best next step.  I feel like regular OB/GYNs aren't as prepared to handle anything that's not a "textbook" case.

Sorry, that sounds really disappointing (and possibly quite painful!). I hope an RE will be able to better help you.

Thanks to all of you for your support!

I'm sorry Jenna, that does suck. An RE will probably try to dilate your cervix w/ a steel rod in order to do the HSG. It's definitely worth seeing a specialist. I go to Carolina Conceptions & really like them, plus I know a number of others that have had great experiences with them. I know that NCCRM (NC Center of Reproductive Medicine) is in Cary, but I don't really know anything about them. And, of course, Duke & UNC have RE groups. Best of luck, I know it's a tough road to travel.

Hey Jenna -

I also went to Carolina Conceptions and had a GREAT experience with them. I would highly recommend that you request a referral to them from your regular OB. I tried to stick it out with my regular OB for years, but there is really only so much they can do and only so much they know.
