Starting with HSG vs. Medicated Cycles

Frances

After a year and half of TTC and one pregnancy loss, I talked to my doctor about what needs to happen next. We will first do a semen analysis, and assuming that comes back fine, it’s all me. So she talked about a couple of options for me to weigh. She said she could do an HSG to check my tubes, or we could skip that and do a few cycles of Clomid and other supporting hormones (estrogen and progesterone, maybe others). I’d like to know others’ thoughts. Would it be worth doing the HSG first, or try the medication and then maybe do an HSG? I’m very nervous about it and would like to avoid the HSG if I can, but I’m willing to do it if needed. For context, I haven’t had any known issues with my reproductive cycle. Thanks for your input!
