HSG finally scheduled!

Kim C2 · 01-26-2007, 01:16 PM

My HSG is scheduled for Feb. 6th...I will be on cd13. I guess its ok to do it that late seeing I usually O really late in my cycles. She also upped my Clomid to 150mg.

I was quite shocked when I made the appt. & they told me the cost! The dr. charges $630! With the hospital & radiology fees, that makes it $969! That's honestly more than I expected.

Oh well - guess that's how it works! I also have to go in this Monday to sign the papers - and I'm sure they'll charge me an office visit for that, too!

That's good you have it scheduled. The price...not so good. I'll be thinking **clear tubes**

I am amazed that for a blood draw I am charged my office visit copay of $20 (which is no small amount of $ as far as I'm concerned). It's so irritating! Hopefully, they'll be feeling nice and will let you slide by.

Hello*!!! wow....I would say that price seems a bit high, but what do I actually know about prices...teeheehee I sure hope that Feb 6th shows that your tubes are alllll clear*!!!! Please keep us posted*!!!!!

I agree, Lots of Clear open tube vibes coming your way!

Good luck, Kim! I hope that the HSG shows clear tubes or that the test does the clearing

!

Make sure you take Motrin so that it's in your system by the time of the procedure... it will help ease things.

Let us know how it goes and BEST OF LUCK!

Good luck Kim! I agree with Maura on the Motrin! It should relieve some of the discomfort.

Kim C2 · 01-26-2007, 06:44 PM

Thanks for the tip - but my dr. actually gives a shot of Toradol before the procedure! She said in her experience it cuts down not only on pain, but on the chance of the tubes spasming!

**BC-DKNY** · 01-26-2007, 08:02 PM

good luck kim!! glad to hear the doc gives you something. that should make it much easier for you. let us know how you do of course.

bmwbrandi2005 · 01-27-2007, 07:27 PM

great news kim! that's a very high price you have to pay... but i'm sure it will be worth it in the end... and with those clean & clear tubes- i'm sure you'll be using the

in your signature line in no time

!! wishing you all the best!

I remember my HSG cost around $700 when I had it done 8 yrs ago, so I guess the price you are paying is right on par, though it sucks! I had insurance to cover most of mine. I hope you see some beautiful clear tubes
