HSG showed one tube!
So did my HSG to determine if my tubes were open and we only saw the left side. My dr seemed to think it wasn't necessarily blocked, but that the dye went into a "free flow." Apparently that's when the dye goes in the fastest opening and creates a flow. He said he's seen it many times and the only way to test the other side would be to do a surgery! Ugh...I wish I would e seen the right side. He said he's comfortable with going forward with the IUI, but I'm feeling discouraged. Anybody have any insight on this?
So he thinks the right side is blocked?
Ok I re-read.
I remember the RE telling me that if I was going to go on to IVF or IUI I had to have the tube took care of. Something about if you have a hydosalphix (sp) fluid in the tube blockage that could leak into the uterus and effect the embroyo.
@expecting I had to have it fully removed she thought if I were to get preg it could result in a tubal. That being said the "good tube" was inspected during surgery and he did a tuboplasty to open it up more....after it was removed we tried IUI once and a couple clomid rounds without success.
Went to IVF after having an ectopic in the "good tube" and loosing it...
Oh, okay. I hope everything turns out well. At the moment it looks like we won't be transferring this year, so we are both seem to encounter road blocks. Can you imagine the magnitude of the relief, the moment we get bfps (that actually maintain)? Must be incredible (and short lived, as we then stress about something else??) have a good week
@maldives...I'll have to ask at my next appointment about doing it again. It has to be in a certain window of your cycle, so would be next month.
@amanda...no tilted uterus, as far as I know.
@lpn...did you have to get it unblocked to try IUI or did you go straight to trying IVF?
I'm just confused why my dr is all for doing an IUI if he didn't see my right tube.
@michelle...thanks. I'm calling the office today and will hopefully get some answers. Either way, I'll still try the IUI next month. Hopefully my mature follicle will be my left side!
@usound...thank you, I'm trying. Seeing your amazing BFP gives me hope and joy! So happy for you!
@michelle...exactly! I asked him over and over why he didn't think it was blocked and he said he's had this test done where he only sees one tube fill and the other tube ended up being fine. That the test is not 100% accurate. To determine 100% would have to be done with an invasive surgery. What a mess! This practice is very well respected, as well as the dr I see, but I'm worried I'm doing the wrong thing. I don't want to try something over and over and keep getting the same result. Just another thing to stress over.?

A Statement from Mom.Life:
Hey everyone!
Last night, a new user began messaging our moms asking for private pictures of toddlers and young children. This is obviously unacceptable behavior, and the account was banned immediately. Although thankfully extremely rare on Mom.Life, several users were understandably upset by this, so we wanted to clarify a few things:
First off, Mom.Life has an absolute zero tolerance policy for child abuse and those who would prey on children. We strive to ...
IUI Monday!!
So today I went in for my routine bloodwork and ultrasound, and found out that I have three follicles at 17mm! Plus another two at 15mm. When leaving the clinic my FS said to take another dose of gonal-f and come back tomorrow to check to see how big they got and that we would do the iui on Wednesday. Well, after getting home, taking my gonal-f and going out to shovel snow (lol) I get a call saying that I am SURGING!!! I haven't ovulated on my own, or even come close to it in years...

My husband and I aren’t exactly strangers when it comes to relationship challenges 💞. We have been together for 14 years and married for eight, so we’ve definitely gone through some growing pains as we navigated a long-distance relationship in college and our first year living together as a married 👫 couple.
But nothing has challenged our relationship quite like our first year as 👪 parents .
Before you have your first child, you have these grand ideas of what it will be like. There’s more slee...

“You look too young to be a mom!”
Or how about …
“You have a BABY? No! You look like a baby yourself!”👶
Oh wait, here’s a good one …
“Are you the nanny, ooor … ?”
“No, yeah I’m his mom,” I’d reply. “Yes, I am young,” I’d agree.
Considering I got pregnant straight out of college, I was certainly on the younger end of the parenting spectrum. (No one was more surprised than me, I assure you.) And yet, I wasn’t exactly a teen mom. I wasn’t juggling school courses and motherhood, like so many s...
It’s literally in the Bible they ate the fruit and realized they were naked and sought clothing. There is a law for indecent exposure... quit acting surprised if someone is freaked out by your seeing your breast it’s been instilled in us since the very beginning. *have to edit before the breastfeeding community comes at me lol I’m talking about a lady who was wearing a crop top with no bra and only half the boob was covered and me and my boyfriend had to witness this and yes someone said somethi...
I don't think you'd need a surgery; that's very extreme just to see the tubes! I'm a radiographer and we do lots of HSG's and never have we only seen one tube. You should always visualise the other tube? Even if there were blockages. Even if the dye went into one tube; the doctor can use more dye as it doesn't do any harm. It's absorbed into the body afterwards. What I would suggest is to have a hycosy? It's very similar to a HSG, except that it doesn't use x-Ray (so no radiation dose) and can see blockages etc. It's basically an internal ultrasound scan, whereby the doctor also injects dye to visualise the Fallopian tubes. I've had my fair share of doctors who sometimes don't know what they are talking about. ? Not to discourage you, but you definitely should seek a second opinion! Good luck
