Guest guest Posted November 27, 2001 Report Share Posted November 27, 2001 Hi , Hope you don't mind, but I had to jump in here for just a minute. It does not sound at all right to me that you were told you needed the HSG done on cd 11-16. The whole idea is to have it done after af leaves BUT before O could possibly occur to avoid the possibility of you being pg...therefore most drs won't do it after cd 12. So I would definately question their timing before going through with the test and maybe do a little reading up on this so as to not just take my word for it. I just have never heard of the test being performed so late in one's cycle. -AmyR Message: 7 Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2001 15:42:33 -0000 From: kcbronx@...

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2001 Report Share Posted November 28, 2001 Amy, Thank you for the heads up. I have to call on the first day of my cycle and they will schedule blood work for cd3 and then the HSG for 11 - 16. Maybe I heard him wrong, but I know he did say cd11. I'm so confused. I will take your advice and give him a call and also do some research. Thanks for the input. > Hi , > > Hope you don't mind, but I had to jump in here for just a minute.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2001 Report Share Posted November 29, 2001 , I think most people have only experienced mild pain with the hsg, but it was excruciating for me. This was only during the test. Afterward, I really didn't experience much pain. Of course, I had a blockage which is probably why it hurt so much.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2001 Report Share Posted November 29, 2001 Terri~~ You poor thing. ALL of my hsg's hurt. My left tube is closed the end and I was in so much pain. When I had the second one I actually had a reaction to the dye and it scared me to death. But I don't think they use that kind of dye much anymore. ===== Mommy to 6 angels Sammi-Gayle, Hannah Faye,Christian McKenna, Adam and Carly Mee and my angel on Earth http://geocities.com/manthasmom2000 http://angelcities.com/members/manthasmom __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
