Hysterosalpingogram (HSG)

Yesterday I had my Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) exam done, and it shows my left side tube is completely blocked.  I am waiting to talk with my doctor, but did anyone here deal with this?  I am trying to stay positive, but I can't help but to get nervous, and of course search Google.   

Is an IUI out of the question at this point, and straight to IVF?



Re: Hysterosalpingogram (HSG)

  • I don't have any advice. I just wanted to say I'm sorry that your tube is blocked, and I hope you get a plan soon! Hugs!

  • Not out for IUI. They'd monitor closely and could do it if you're ovulating from your right ovary. The bummer is that you could begin a cycle and have it cancelled if your mature follicle(s) is on the left side.

  • My HSG showed a blocked tube, also had a slight uterine septum, so my RE scheduled me for laproscopic surgery. She made a small incision in my belly button, and inserted a small scope with a balloon and they were able to reinflate and unblock the tube. From the time I checked in to when I went home it was just a few hours, and I was back on my feet the next day.I was crampy for several days after the procedure and had spotting, but it wasn't a big deal. I'm not sure if I hadn't had the septum if I'd still have the surgery, so I'd definitely talk to your RE about your options. GL!

  • I had two blocked tubes and like caseyandlizzie, I had lap surgery. It was pretty simple and really wasn't a big deal at all. The anticipation was way worse than the actual surgery! I took a week off work and I'm glad I did because I was exhausted, but I was up doing stuff the next day. I've had multiple IUIs since then so it's definktu not out! Esp since you only have one blocked. Hopefully your doc will give you more info soon and put your mind at ease. GL!

    In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!

  • Thank you ladies! 

    I meant to call my Dr today, but ended up taking DH to the ER around 4 a.m., he has a horrible stomach virus, would not stop vomiting etc etc.  We got home around 10 a.m., I got dressed and went to work.  I didn't want to take another day off. 

    Now I just need some sleep!   Its only January 16th, and this year is already kicking my butt.

  • Well, now you have part of a diagnosis and you can move forward from there. A blocked tube is not as uncommon as you think! Best of luck!
