Hi! I have a bit of a theoretical question for you all. I suspect my HSG was done either the day after or the very day of my ovulation. I usually get the clearblue test happy face on CD10 (23 day cycle). My HSG was scheduled for CD8. I TTC with husband on CD7 (day before HSG in which I also detected the egg white like cervical mucus). I proceeded with the HSG on CD8 (cervical mucus went back to normal that day), could not TTC with husband on that day but did try again on CD9, 10 and 12.

I started testing with the clearblue on CD10 (because quite frankly I forgot the days before). I do test once a day in the evening, so theres that. But it is now CD13 and all have been negative (I tested this morning). I know it is possible with once a day testing that I missed the peak, but I understand that test is supposed to be positive for two whole days and the very obvious egg-white mucus on CD7 (day before HSG) have me concerned.

My two concerns are:

1. That I ovulated before the HSG and the egg and/or whatever sperm was present were “washed away”.

2. That the HSG somehow delayed my ovulation so much I might actually miss my window for egg retrieval in June (Just starting IVF). I’ve read some anecdotal accounts of a delay in ovulation happening to some after HSG.

Additional info:

I’m 40 1/2 years old, I have an international trip mid June that I can’t cancel. I found a clinic that was moving the process so fast I could probably get a retrieval before that trip (for that I needed my next period to start at the expected time). Either that or conceiving naturally and hoping there is no miscarriage.

I’m preemptively kicking myself a bit because my clinic said I didn’t even need the HSG. But this is my second clinic and I already had the experience of completing a work up at one clinic and then finding out the new clinic needed even more tests. So I tried to get ahead of that eventuality by just doing the HSG in case any other clinic I might need to switch to needs it. Plus the supposed fertility enhancing effects that I could have benefited from this very cycle.
