<< I was on Depo Provera for approx. 6 months ending in February of 1998 ****** Effects can last 6 to 9 months.

<> I was not told anything about this procedure other that there may be some cramping. I have NEVER been in so much pain in my entire life!!!!!! I believe I screamed the entire time and begged them to stop.

****** I blame two people for you ignorance of this procedure. (Hystersalpingogram) 1) Your Doctor 2) YOU for not asking ahead of time. The pain was a result of the pressure put in the canal. Your Doctor was trying to open the blocked tube. ******* Pain shots are readily available in any hospital, and they are not expensive.

<< They have found that one of my tubes is blocked. They didn't explain whether or not this is the cause of my lack of menstruating. Could it be? ******* Not very probable that they are related! (BUT - maybe!) >>From here I will be scheduled for a Laporoscopy and as well they will be

looking at the uterus through the cervix. This procedure will be done in about three months with a Doctors appointment just before to go over the procedure. ******** Laporoscopy = Looking into the body cavity. Needs general anesthesia. Hysteroscopy = Looking into the cavity of the uterus. With or

without general anesthesia.

>> I would like to know more about it before then.
****** ASK!

>> They didn't tell me if I still can get pregnant with one tube or not.
****** It depends upon why one tube is blocked? It depends upon the health of the remaining tube.

>> Can I? As far as getting pregnant goes my husband and I are trying to
conceive but is it going to happen or do I wait three months down the road for the Laparos..... ****** I have no inkling!

****** This OBGYN sounds like a good doctor. Stick with him/her and you will get your answers. If he/she doesn't explain it to you, ask. Did you know that the pregnancy rate AFTER blowing open the tubes is higher if the husband holds the patient's hand DURING the x-rays? ============================================= *Note: Opinions expressed here are for educational purposes only.
