[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]thanks for responses. I'm pretty sure the seizure was partially or entirely my fault---I think I was so worked up and nervous about it all that I started hyperventilating during the test, which when caused a seizure. They did mention some nerve or something as well, and while I don't suffer from a seizure disorder, this happened one other time during a routine gyno exam about five years or so ago.

I probably should have asked for valium beforehand---it wasn't offered by my ob/gyn, but I know friends have taken it before the hsg and clearly something to reduce anxiety would have  helped. I also don't understand why they don't require at least local anesthesia during HSGs since it seems to be a pretty miserable experience for most.

If they find a problem during the HSG, what can they do about it anyhow? I know my doc wanted to see if tubes were blocked, etc...but not sure how it would be fixed if they were.[/quote]

Well, it's a good way of determining whether you need IVF, or if an approach like IUI might suffice.  But if you know you're going to do IVF anyway, it probably doesn't matter.  [/quote]
