Do you have to have hsg before IUI

Question

Is it a must before the procedure?

Answer

If both your tubes are blocked essentially an IUI would be a waste of your time and $

Answer

Any reputable re will require it. And if they aren't, insist on it.. There is no point or benefit in doing an iui if your tubes are blocked.

Answer

A good clinic wouldn’t do an IUI without first checking uterus and tubes which is what the test does.        I wouldn’t want to have a doctor willing to perform and charge me for a procedure if they aren’t even sure if there is a chance of it working.

Answer

Most clinics will require it since there’s a really small chance of it working if there’s blockages.

Answer

It should be required for IUI as the spermatozoa still need to go through fallopian tubes to fertilise egg or eggs. If both tubes are obturated to a degree that spermatozoa cannot pass through chance of fertilisation is zero with or without IUI. You will need IVF in this case as natural conception is not possible except very very rare cases when the tube somehow unblocked a little with passage of time. Why waste money if the chance is zero or 1 percent?You can use them towards IVF. We did IVF ICSI due to MFI and low egg quality, so I was never asked for it. However they checked if the endings of the tubes contained a liquid as this liquid leaking in womb can damage embryos implanting.

Answer

My doctor wanted to do one beforehand to make sure there were no blockages, but I had an ectopic pregnancy prior.

Answer

Mine didn't require it, but some do. I got pregnant on my 5th IUI. Did 2 unmedicated, and 3 with meds.  I would say get it done so you aren't wasting money on IUIs if something is wrong, like blocked tubes.

Answer

Why is everyone commenting about tubes being blocked??? Am I missing something here?
No it’s not required, but I did it in order to control ovulation for better “timing”
