Just a small update

AF finally showed up. I had a feeling it would and held out testing again. The good news about it showing up is that I got to call today and schedule my ladies part test. I had my test information incorrect. I thought I was scheduling an HSG and apparently I’m getting an SHG instead. I'll have to research the difference but I think the SHG sounds a little easier.

On another good note - I finally got all the right information and confirmed with my insurance that they will cover the test. Apparently we have a family planning section of our policy that covers testing and diagnosis. However the plan does not include anything else beyond that. So hopefully the hubby’s stuff will improve and they do not find any issues on my end. My test is a week from today and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that no issues are found.

  1. I believe an SHG is done by ultrasound and HSG by x-ray. I've had an HSG to test for blocked tubes. Not sure what and SHG tests for though.

  2. I'm glad that she showed, if only so you can move on to get your tests. I *think* I had an SHG...is it a saline u/s? Feels a little weird and I cramped a little, but easy!

  5. The SHG is much better than the HSG! And I'm glad your insurance covers the diagnostic stage. All of those tests can definitely get pricey.

    Good luck!

  7. I had both done and the SHG is like a walk in the park compared to the HSG. I am so glad your insurance covers diagnostic tests. My insurance covered the HSG but not the SHG. The HSG cost us $10 and the SHG cost us $650.

    I wish you the best of luck.
