HSG Timing *all welcome*

[joy]

They don't want you to potentially be pregnant when doing the HSG. At least, that was the reason I was told.

I suppose you could abstain from sex that month to prove to them that you couldn't possibly be pregnant post-ovulation.

Talk to them. See what their reasons are.

I'm willing to bet they won't do it later in the cycle for liability reasons. Like joy said, they don't want to risk you being pregnant while having the HSG and I'm pretty sure that's because of the risk of loss.

******, I was told the specific concern is causing an ectopic pregnancy.

My RE had me take BCPs at the beginning of that cycle - I had my SHG around CD4 or 5 I think, and then the next week I had my HSG. I think I stopped the BCPs either right before or the day of the HSG? He basically wanted to ensure I was pre-O when I had the HSG. Sorry I don't remember more details - it was almost a year ago when I had all my testing.

I had to get a blood pregnancy test the day before my scheduled hsg just to make sure it was safe to do the test.

Good luck, I hope you're able to get it done during your vacation!

They're extremely unlikely to do it during your fertile window. It's a possibility that they could affect any potential fertilization that couldn't be detected by a test that early. It's such a liability that they won't take the risk. I was told CD7-10.
