I had an HSG test done today to check my ovarian tubes. Let me preface with this . . . in the 4 years of fertility issues we have had, I have asked every doctor about having an HSG. Every one of them said the same thing. I have been pregnant (it wasn’t until after having Ethan that we had problems conceiving), and I have never had an STD. So I have very slim chance of anything being blocked.
Even with my current RE, I brought up the HSG because he was talking about the possibility of IUI or IVF in the future. I told him that if we have to pay for these procedures out of pocket, I want to make sure everything is clear. He said he agreed, but he also felt (just as I did) like it was just another test to do just to mark the blocks, cover our bases. No one expected a problem . . .
Well, I suppose they can be wrong. 
Preliminary reports show that my right tube is blocked. This is heartbreaking news to me. You only ovulate out of one side each month, and even if a tube is blocked, an egg still releases (it just has no place to go). You never know what side you will ovulate from. It just randomly happens. So this is not good news at all. I just got diagnosed with PCOS . . . that hinders our efforts. Now this?? Are you kidding me?? I’m scared to say what’s next . . .
I have a few more tests coming up this month. Hopefully the rest of them will bring me GOOD news.
