Question about HSG
7
Fri, 07-25-2003 - 2:02pm
Hi everyone,

I have a HSG scheduled for Monday afternoon. The nurse told me not to have intercourse for 48 hours prior to the procedure. I've read on a website that you should not have intercourse from the start of your cycle until after the exam. For those who have been through it before, what did your doctor tell you? I just don't want to do anything this weekend that might interfere with the HSG.

Also, please send me some "Dye Flow Free Vibes" if you have any to spare. I'm hoping the HSG will either provide some answers as to why it's taking so long for me to get pg. or clear my tubes so I can finally get pg.!

Thanks so much for reading my post/

Hi Gwen -

I had an HSG done back in May and my Doctor told me not to have sex from the time I started my cycle until I've had the procedure done. I followed my Doctor's orders and on the day of my HSG the radiologist wanted to make me take a pg test just to make sure I wasn't pg. I spent a good five minutes convincing him and his nurse that I was absolutely positive I WASN'T PG!! They just have to be sure and I totally understood that.

Good Luck!!

Good luck Gwen. I had the HSG done in June and my RE never said anything about no intercourse before the procedure. I never did anyway since it was right after AF, we never bd during AF. Good luck and I wish you the best!

Gwen,

I've had 3 HSG's and the dr never told me not to have intercourse, but it was always done on cd6 or 7. My ob/gyn did 2 of the test and a radiologist did 1. The first I had my tubes were actually blocked and it unblocked them. I got pregnant like the next week, but unfortunately it was ectopic and I lost the right tube. It wasn't anything to do with the HSG that caused it to be in the tube, though. I wish you lots of luck and keep us updated.
