Madeese, Is the HSG the same thing as the "dye" test? I had this done about a month prior to starting any IUI's to see if I was all good in there, and I was. It was very very crampy during the procedure and I just wanted to curl in a ball but couldn't because of the x-ray machine thingy being over the top of me. But it only lasted like 10 seconds and then you can relax and the cramping goes away right away. My OB said that sometimes just them shooting the dye in there can open them up. I'm not sure if they fix things right away if there is a more serious blockage though. It was kinda neat though because they had it all on a big screen monitor above me and I could actually see it all. Pretty interesting. Just like the pictures in the health books..lol.

starfsh25, I'm sorry you aren't feeling the best lately. Patience is so difficult to have during all of this IF stuff. I have been really emotional too lately. I have to actually watch something funny on TV at night otherwise I will lay in bed and just think of "poor pitiful me" type of thoughts until I'm crying. I hope you can find a way to cheer up soon. I agree with Madesse, go and buy yourself a little something nice, you deserve it!

As for me, I'm still crazy on Clomid and having hot flashes in 80 degree weather...hahaha. But it's worth it right?? I hope so. Tomorrow I go for my first consultation to discuss IVF if this next IUI doesn't take. It will be nice to sit with the RE now because I have many more questions this time than I did before I started IUI. Hopefully I won't even need the IVF though. I am still praying for us all to have a this month!!!! We can do it!
