I had mine done in May 2013 but didn't conceive til Oct that year, so altho it didn't immediately benefit me, I'm sure it did help if even just a bit. Any little bit of tube snot u can flush out is gonna make it that much easier for sperm and egg to make it to their destination. Not to mention that even tho everything was clear last time, it doesn't mean something hasn't possibly started to slow things down since. I say go for it if u have the opportunity/funds to do so. Every little bit helps!! =))

Thank you so much for answering, really appreciate it! I will discuss this with my dr and inquire @the insurance company. If this cycle fails I think I will go for it. I won't go down without a fight. Best wishes to you like always :)

You might be able to do just the tubal flush without the actual Xray. But I've now had one HSG and a tubal flush and my doc has informed me that it helps to increase chances of pregnancy for the next 3-6 months. It isn't going overboard.

Great idea, jenshalla1, doing it without the X-ray. Not only will it keep the cost down but it will also eliminate the X-rays which I am not too fond of. Thanks for weighing in!

I was shocked when the head of the obygn dept of my local hospital instructed me to go home and get busy after my HSG- she said most of her patients get pregnant after this test so now is your time. I went home and researched this idea and like you said many women claim it helps them get pregnant. So we will see, I am due to ovulate soon. For some reason I do feel better/healthier after having the test. Maybe its just my nerves calming, or maybe it because my uterus got a nice "cleaning." Dr, said I had some old blood but my tubes were clear. Maybe now the egg can attach with out interference of old blood? I support your idea of having it done.

Have you been checked for any blood clotting disorders or intramural fibroids?

I got pregnant one month after the exam, but I also started clomid that month, so not sure to what extent was the exam or the medication. But, I would give it a try....
