Thanks for the advice
Thank you for the advice. I think I'm a bit hesitant for the following reasons:
1. I'd have the HSG done in June, but I wouldn't be beginning IUI till September after I return from a trip, so I wouldn't get the "fertility burst"
2. When my DH and I visited our first fertility center (after he had cancer), they did a workup on both of us including a transvaginal ultrasound for me and the Dr. said things looked great on my end.
3. Unlike many who start infertility treatments, my DH and I haven't been "trying" yet. We always knew we'd have to go with IUI due to his cancer, so I'm still in the "wouldn't it be exciting to have a baby" phase and not in the more sad/emotional phase that the friends I have from a fertility support group are in.
4. I worry that the risks (infection, possible sensitivity to the iodine, possible scarring from the procedure, etc) don't outweigh the benefits yet. If I wasn't pregnant after two-three IUI attempts, then it would seem more worthwhile but right now there hasn't been evidence to suggest that my tubes are blocked.
I see your point that the doctor is just being thorough in her analysis. After having a husband in the hospital with cancer, I've started to question tests before going ahead with them. His drs would order a number of tests on him that were so not necessary (including a pregnancy test, on a man, come on!!)
