Hannah's Hope

As many of my followers know I have miscarried twice, and have yet to get pregnant again. On Monday, Feb. 13, I will be having a test.

A hysterosalpingogram, or HSG is an important test of female fertility potential. The HSG test is a radiology procedure usually done in the radiology department of a hospital or outpatient radiology facility.

  • Radiographic contrast (dye) is injected into the uterine cavity through the vagina and cervix
  • The uterine cavity fills with dye and if the fallopian tubes are open, dye fills the tubes and spills into the abdominal cavity.
This shows whether the fallopian tubes are open or blocked and whether a blockage is at the junction of the tube and uterus (proximal) or at the other end of the tube (distal).

This is the second test that I have had in the last 2 years. The first was just a test to check all of my hormone levels. Hopefully they will find out why or why not I am not getting pregnant. I have found a book that I can sympathize with, It has helped me some. It is Hannah's Hope by Jennifer Saake. One of the things I got from it was that Davin and I are a FAMILY. Even though we do not have a child, we are a small family.
