I hope it will give you a sense of hope and control in some way. <br /><br />In terms of the HSG, I don't have experience with this, but after comparing my experience with contrast dye injected prior to my appendectomy with my friend's experience of her HSG, it sounds pretty similar, if not less painful than what I had to go through (the dye gets injected into your rectum. Yep. Really). I just hope it's quick and my advice is breathe....breathe through it.

You might not have gotten to do IVF, but you did pick up an extra 5% chance than what you came in with. I had my HSG done while I was under general anesthesia for my lap so I don't have any advice for you there.Frozen OJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14131711839046100355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994521301199986866.post-30582159669576936452013-03-07T18:51:43.408-08:002013-03-07T18:51:43.408-08:00Hope your HSG goes well, I've never done one, ...Hope your HSG goes well, I've never done one, but I'm sure you will be just fine!Team Harrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00917069105126428150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994521301199986866.post-9013262333697662292013-03-07T16:30:42.540-08:002013-03-07T16:30:42.540-08:00I'm glad you were able to stay focused on the ...I'm glad you were able to stay focused on the positive.

It sounds like you've thought about it and are making the best decision for yourself!<br /><br />As for the HSG, see if they can code the order for it with something ANYTHING other than infertility and it will be covered. I just had mine covered 100% by having the nurse code the order with diagnosis 620.9 "Unspecified noninflammatory disorder of ovary, fallopian tube, and broad ligament"<br /><br />Technically you are concerned there may be something abnormal in there, which is why you're having the test right? So, you can always say something to your dr. like this... "We would really like to have the HSG done, but will only be able to do it if it's covered by insurance. If there a way we can make sure to code the order with a code that is of diagnostic nature rather than a fertility related nature, it would be extremely helpful. I feel like it's needed to get a better picture of what is going on from a gynecological standpoint, whether we were undergoing fertility treatments or not." <br /><br />When you get the HSG, I would take 3 ibuprofen beforehand (or a Vicodin) beforehand. You can also request that a 5 French catheter be used, as this is the smallest catheter available for that procedure as far as I know. My tech told me that's the one she uses and to always request it. I have had 2 HSG's and both were easy breezy. Hope you're able to get it with no problems and it gives you some answers!
