As expected, my tubes were clear (it was actually really cool to see the dye in the tubes and uterus and I didn't have much discomfort) and my uterus was shaped normally. The shocker at the end of my HSG is that the doctor wanted us to wait *another* month, to get back all the other test results! I was really annoyed by that!

In retrospect, I now feel that I needed the time to recover emotionally. In the end, my diagnosis involved the use the controversial treatment of progesterone therapy. But it worked for me! I now have an almost 11 month old son!

As Dr. Shanahan says, there are no guarantees. My doctor said those exact words to me. My reply was that I didn't want a guarantee, but some sort of chance to hope.

I am thinking good thoughts for you and if you want, you may send personal e-mail to me. Good luck!Sun, 21 Feb 1999, lisa wrote: >
