HSG Testing After Reversing Fallopian Tubes

A Tubal Reversal Message Board member writes, "I was wondering if a HSG needs to be done only if you are trying to conceive or can it be done to just confirm that my tubes are open?" Dr. Charles Monteith does not recommend HSG testing for his tubal reversal patients until they have been actively trying to get pregnant for 6 to 12 months. For those women who do choose to move forward with having a HSG, Dr. Charles Monteith encourages women to send in a copy of their HSG reports and images for a courtesy review. Remember, if the doctor or radiologist tells you that your tubes are blocked, don't panic. In many cases it could be a problem with the testing rather than a problem with the tubes.
