Anyone had an HSG test?

From the very beginning, my periods were extremely
irregular. I didn't start until the 9th grade, and by then
I'd begun to wonder if I'd ever start. Fast forward through
high school and college -- same thing, very irregular
periods. I went to see my OB/GYN for a first appointment
at age 21 and was diagnosed with PCOS. I didn't know
much about it at the time and wasn't married so I wasn't
thinking too much about having babies. But my future
husband and I were dating and the longer we dated the more
it crossed my mind. We were married in April of 2007 and
decided to wait a year to start trying. He also has some
infertility struggles, so we made an appointment in April
2008 with a fertility specialist. It is fortunate (if you can
call it that) that we got to skip some of the months of
"regular trying" knowing that wouldn't work and I couldn't
get pregnant without medical intervention. The first cycle
was with Clomid and it didn't even touch the follicles to
make them grow large enough to release the egg. The
second cycle was our first with injections, several days with
Menopur, and still the follicles weren't big enough. :( The
third cycle had more injectables and this time we got to try
an Intrauterine insemination (IUI) because I had one follicle
that was big enough. After the long, dreadful two-week wait,
I took a blood test...and it was negative. The fourth cycle was
last month and I had to do an HSG (hysterosalpingogram) as
well. This is where a catheter with a balloon is placed
(SHOVED...OUCH!) up into the uterus and dye is forced in
to see if it will fill the uterus and spill through the fallopian
tubes. If it does not, this means there is a blockage. Well, this
is what they saw the first time. Yep, I say first time because
the doctor wanted to have it done again. She was suspicious
because I had no causes for the tubes to be blocked. I went in
for a 2nd HSG and...success! The tubes are clear! But the
following ultrasound showed the follicles decreasing in size
and so the cycle was cancelled. Now we are on Cycle #5 with
injectables (more this time) and are just praying and hoping.
We'll keep you updated. And best of luck to all of you who are
still trying. You're in my thoughts and prayers.Laura
