Guest guest Posted January 18, 2002 Report Share Posted January 18, 2002 Hello everyone, Well, I went in this morning at 11:00 to give the HSG a 3rd try!!! I got a different doctor each time, and this one today had 30 years of practice and has seen a lot of these tests done, and has done about 15 in thirty years! He knew his stuff!!! He wanted to try a different approach this time. Instead of using the balloon catheter, he wanted to try the " old fashioned way " of inserting a " metal cone " in my cervix, which would be better since my uterus is sooo tilted! I guess it takes a dive way back, towards my spine! I agreed to this, and guess what???? SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!! We got the pictures back 20 minutes later and he said the left tube is definately open, and it looks like the right is open too! However, he said that he cannot see a septum, unless its hiding somewhere. He said my uterus is a normal shape and size. He said in all his 30 years of practice he has never seen a case like mine. I guess there are blood vessels that got filled with the dye above my uterus, which means, I am either wierd (my diagnosis) or that I could have gotten a small tear when they dilated my cervix, allowing the blood vessels to be filled with dye. We joked around that I would be in a book someday as a strange case!!! I am happy that this was a success this time! I will hear from my doctor on Monday or Tuesday and then be referred to the RE, and see where we go from here!!! Thought I would post my outcome! Thank you for your thoughts about me while at my appointment! -Amy W. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 18, 2002 Report Share Posted January 18, 2002 WAY TO GO!! I am so relieved that you had a successful HSG - you have been through so much. I am dumbfounded by the results though. They saw no septum at all? I thought they saw a septum by ultrasound before. So the ultrasound was wrong? Maybe the us technician did a bad job? Are you seeing an RE for other fertility stuff or are you being referred just based on the MA diagnosis? You are a medical miracle! I'm happy for you Sara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2002 Report Share Posted January 18, 2002 > >guess what???? > SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!! Hooray! I think the " old fashioned " way is frequently the better way. It can be more painful, too, but you have more control and see more that way. Glad that you checked out fairly normal. How were you led to believe that you have an MA? I know you told us, but I can not remember. Beth SU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel happy that this got done finally, but totally lost at what might be going on! I am not too sure what the doctor meant by: " In 30 years of practice, I have never seen a case like this " ?????? Makes me wonder!!! I can't wait to hear from my ob/gyn to see what she thinks about all this, and also so she can refer me to the RE!!! I will keep you posted! Take care ! -Amy W. > > _________________________________________________________________ > Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: > http://mobile.msn.com > > __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
