Clomid is great at increasing progesterone and treating LPD, but it can srew up cervical mucus. If you are ovulating as evidenced by BBTs and OPKs, then I think progesterone supplementation from ovualtion on is the better route. >

HSG involves attaching a device to your cervix, injecting dye into the uterine cavity and tubes, then taking x-rays to see if the tubes are open and if the uterine cavity is normal. It can be pretty crampy, but taking a motrin or 2 about an hour before the procedure usually helps tremendously.
