I have a pouch and had HSG. I didn't have a problem with my pouch before, after or during. But when they inflate that balloon it does hurt and luckily they are quick in taking the X-rays and got it out ASAP. No worries. I don't see how it can hurt your pouch. Good luck.

I had an HSG when I had my pouch and while it was brutally uncomfortable and painful, no issues with the pouch after. I would highly recommend a muscle relaxant or xanax or something prior to the test in case it is painful.

I honestly didn't find it to be a huge deal. The discomfort was for a very short time and I got up and off the table and out of there and went right to work.

Thank you to all of you! Made me feel better, the first things I came across were stories of people like passing out and screaming and not being able to even finish the test! Hopefully Friday comes and goes FAST! Thank you again!

For me, it was a very short amount of discomfort, over fast, and I went right back to work. I hope you find it easy, too.

Nothing compared to what you have already been through! You will do great!

Hello, I have been through IVF 3 times (failed) and my MD has told me he will not perform the HSG on me because of my J-pouch surgeries (I had an emergent 3 step).
He is afraid that the liquiud used will leak out into my belly and I will get an infection from it.
Has anyone heard of this? I am dissapointed because I have heard of many people getting pregnant on their own after it.
Thanks

Well.... I apparently just like to make everything drama filled when it comes to Drs We arrived for the first appointment and were informed they moved it to the other side of town. I was not irritated just concerned about being late. Well we finally got to the correct facility, had the sonogram, and then the HSG. The HSG was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I did have my husband with me which helped me personally. The Dr really did not explain it in much detail, and my husband had to ask them a couple times to let us see the screen. I asked when I would hear results and they said to just call my Dr. So, after that I was starving so we went across town (we live about an hour from the city) to get some food. We had sat down and got our appetizer when I received a call that I needed to come back right away, when I asked why they explained the contrast may run out and I needed a CT, I asked if I could finish lunch and they said I probably should not. At this point my husband broke every traffic law (just kidding) to get me there. We walked in and they informed us the CT tech had to be called in and had not arrived yet, but she arrived a few minutes later. We were taken back to the CT room and..well we all have been there no big story...and then the dr came out. Turns out I have a communication with my small intestine. Long story short all the contrast from my tubes dumped into my small intestine. I called my Dr afterwards and she is wanting to look at the disk/ my surgical records/ and contact a couple Drs before my next appointment. I think the fun part was after the CT when the tech said "its not super serious"... which received a response from my husband that probably put us on the bad patient list haha
