If you have #infertility you can get pregnant just by doing the #HSG X-ray because it flushes the tubes. Small mucus plugs or fine scarring sometimes is opened and up to 20% of people can get pregnant just from having the test. Even if you're doing #IVF, the test can diagnose fluid-filled blocked tubes that could prevent IVF from working. It's beneficial whether you're starting or even further along in your fertility journey. For some people this procedure can be horrifically painful and for others not at all. Check out my videos on special techniques to prevent pain and medications we use. No one should have pain with this test and unfortunately most of the time when they do, it's from using an old-fashioned technique that the doctor just hasn't changed in 20 years. Advocate for yourself for pain control. Let me know in the comments if you had it or if your doctor told you to skip it. #ttc
