Wouldn't the HSG show any abnormalities in the uterine cavity? I think they just want to optimize your chances of the transfer working, otherwise it's a waste of an embryo.

You'll also need to re-sign the consent form for the FET as they are only good for like 90 days or something.

My doc was cool with providing me with the script for all my tests before I went in to see her so that I only had to make one visit plus I could get all my testing in before the end of the year/change in insurance.

Does anyone find this extremely annoying??

Yes.
I've never understood the repeat HSG requirement for a frozen transfer.

Especially since a frozen transfer doesn't require your tubes!

Are we all talking about SG? I only had one HSG, in the very beginning. I've had 2 FETs, and its been almost 3 years since that HSG!

I didn't have to do anything other than infectious disease bloodwork. I did have to have my Gyn fax them something saying I had been there in the past year (pap not necessary).

You don't have to get a PAP smear, but you do have to sign a form saying you'll keep up with your GYN medical care. (Just got that form in the mail over the weekend, so that's super current.)

But mammogram for 40+ is required annually.

Somehow I don't remember this...thank you!

We got lab slips and had to go to Labcorp for this.

Unfortunately this is the bloodwork where you go to a lab and have an insane amount of vials drawn. Same for your husband/partner.

You will need a current Pap smear and mammogram if you are 40 and above. Also maybe current infectious disease testing.

I'd like to start getting my ducks in a row before heading back in for a consult to get a FET underway. I'm thinking I'll need to go to my GYN for an annual, right? What tests will SG make me redo? Saline sono? Mock transfer? HSG?

Thanks!
