[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can scarring usually be picked up by HSG or is hysteroscopy the usual source for diagnosis?  I am having first HSG at WashRad. in a few weeks for possible scar tissue issues - 2 csections, including second that was due to pre-term birth as a result of chorioamnionitis.  More cramping and strange pain (like a tugging/pulling sensation) in my uterine area that comes and goes during my entire cycle (although I am getting my period, fairly heavy), coupled with no BFP after numerous cycles has me suspect that there might be an issue there.[/quote]

HSG more or less only tells you if the "pipes are open" so to speak.  They check if dye can get through to the fallopian tube.  If the scarring completely covers an opening, HSG will likely pick it up.  In my case, my scarring mostly but not completely covered my cervix, so dye got through and my HSG was "normal".  But the scarring was enough to affect transfer and implantation.  I believe that hysteroscopy is the "gold standard" for diagnosing scarring...that's how mine was ultimately diagnosed.  Got pregnant with first IVF post surgery to remove scarring.[/quote]
