HSG...not good...poss. IVF

I'm pretty much in shock right now.

Had the HSG today and my mom went with because DH had to work. In retrospect, I am glad I had her....DH wanted to take the morning off, but I had a *feeling* the HSG would be all clear...so I told him I didn't need him to go....

Last night my mom called and said she wanted to be with me....so I agreed. I am so glad now that she was there!

Ladies...my right tube is totally blocked.

At first, the RE and the radiologist couldn't even find either of my tubes...they had to put more dye in to see them at all.

Then on the right side, the dye just ballooned up right near the ovary. So the egg has NOWHERE to go.

It was really bad.

Then, on the left side, my "good side," the dye finally went through---it looked like a dam breaking--and it did flow through, but not THAT fast.

So---I don't really know. I spent a few mins crying on the table....the nurse and the RE and the radiologist were all great, so kind and compassionate.

RE wants me to come in on Friday for an u/s. He said at that point, CD 9, he will be able to see the follicle develping and will know if I'm going to O on the right or left side.

He discussed possibly doing another lap. to see if the blockage is still there on my left side....

He said my right tube is shot.

It's scar tissue.

My left looks "okay" but he said he will know more on Fri???

DH will go with me on Friday and we will put together a game plan. The RE did say there are drugs that can make me ovulate on both sides....so it's possible, I guiess, that I could still get PG on my left side.

I don't know. I had a lap. in 2001 and everything was FINE. What could have happened since then? What causes scar tissue? Could it be something from my pregnancy with DD in 2002?

I'm so depressed about all of this...but also just anxious to do SOMETHING.
