As for the pain: I was very nervous, but the actual procedure wasn't that bad. (and I would imagine a doctor could use that information to get closer to a diagnosis). Of course, there is a good chance that your tubes are clear, but (to me, at least) that would be important to know. Otherwise, if your tubes are blocked, it seems that there wouldn't be much chance of success with an IUI, as the egg still has to make its way to the uterus.Īs for the cost issue: I personally think it is worth the cost to avoid wasting money on an IUI that doesn't have a chance of working because of a blockage. I would think it is important to get a test to see if your tubes are clear. If it is the latter, I echo the other ladies. Is the dilemma whether to have (1) an HSG or (2) a saline sonogram? Or is the dilemma whether to (1) have HSG or saline sonogram or (2) go straight to IUI? If it is the former, I can't offer any advice as I've only had an HSG. Unfortunately, there is a lot of hurry up and wait in the beginning, but once you get started on a treatment path, you will be surprised how quickly it all goes. I know it is tough to think about putting off treatment for another month while you have more tests run, but in the end they are worth it. It was more uncomfortable that last time, but my anxiety levels are heightened because I am anxious to get started. I had a repeat SHG today because I am starting IVF and it has been over a year since my last one. The Saline Ultrasound will check for polyps or tumors in your uterus that would not be seen on a regular ultrasound. There are also studies that suggest your are more likely to conceive in the months following an HSG because the tubes are clear and the cilia are standing up on end and make it easier to move the egg along.
The HSG will check for blockages in your fallopian tubes which is a must before you start fertility treatments, in my opinion. The HSG was uncomfortable but it was over very quickly. I had my HSG and SHG done in the same month and both were relatively painless. If your insurance company will cover the cost of the diagnostic tests, then definitely do them.
