So for those of you who have done the HSG before you know it is not a pleasant experience. They put some dye up in the uterus and tubes, it is supposed to darken them up. Then they take pictures and you get bad cramps the rest of the day...fun!
The news however, was not exactly what we wanted to hear. However, we are still not giving up hope! :). The left tube is open, this is good. However, the shape and the way the dye filled in was not normal, which means there could be issues in relation to that they just don't know. There are surgery options, etc, but they would not fix this problem. We are out of luck in that area. We just hope it in't bad enough to create problems.
The right tube would not allow dye into it at all. This means one of two things. First, the tube is blocked or diseased. This option would not allow for getting pregnant at all when the egg comes out that side. The other option is that the tissues down there contracting to squeeze off the tube so it would not allow the dye through, and the tube is normal. They said chances of either are 50-50.
So what now? Well, unless we get a call from our doctor directing otherwise we will go through with the IUI as planned. This means on Wed this week when we go in we are hoping the egg decides to come out on the left side. If it does they will proceed with the plan. If it comes out the right side they may not choose to try it since we don't know if the right side is blocked or not. This means another month of waiting and pills and hoping it comes out. We will just have to see what the doctor says. Anyway, just keeping your updated. Again, we appreciate your prayers and concern.
Oh, and one more thing, knowing this we are even more greatful for our dear little Matthew who seems to be more of a miracle baby anytime we get more tests done!
