pregnancy after an HSG

I just had my HSG done last week (after 19 months of ttc). She said the tubes were clear. I was wondering if anyone here has had this done (I ovulate in the next 2 days so my fingers are crossed). I read somewhere that the chances of getting pregnant after an HSG increase significantly. Does anyone here know anything about this or even had this done and had a better success rate?

continued from above..
Dr. wanted to transfer all 4 eggs but I don't wanna reduce any if case needs to b. He said I could keep all 3 if need b so I went with 3. He put best 3 in n left one out n hopefully they can freeze it. I wanted 2 transfer 2 n freeze 2..but he said they have a better chance at surviving in uterus than in lab so I decided to go with 3 n also better my chances of getting pregnant with at least one.  It's not an easy decision. Hopefully I made the right one.  I m still wondering if I made the right choice by doing IVF. I m not getting any younger. Will b 35 in July. If I haven't gotten pregnant all this time..I don't know if I would've in the next few months. either cuz even though they found my issues..I m left with one tube which has scarring..so I went w/ IVF.
I m happy to have met u guys on here who r going thru somewhat of the same experience...cuz it's a lonely world..when every1 gets pregnant around u..or aborts like they r throwing out the trash..n here we can't even have 1 without paying all this money..n taking all these meds..which in the end might harm us n the baby.  So it's alot to take in. Friends n family won't understand unless they r going or went thru it themselves.  I didn't even tell any1 really cuz I feel embarrassed n it's not anyone's bussiness.  If I do succeed then mayb I will feel like telling some close friends n family.  Let's hope for many healthy n happy babies in 2011-2012!!!   =O)

So after miscarriage they made me go for the tests that I originally didn't wanna do..to c y I miscarried..if it was just from the low hormone n blood clotting 2 much or if there is more to it. They found I had a polyp n it had 2 b removed...cuz it could grown n possibly it caused miscarriage.  I cried like a baby not wanting to go under anesthesia..first time in my life at 34 n never had surgery. During durgery they also did Laproscopy to c my tubes..n they saw one tube was very infected n they removed it. They dont know how it got damaged..but over the yrs due to infections..mayb miscarriage..who knows. My other tube is also scarred tissue.. but they didn't remove it..they just cleaned it out. So they believe this caused miscarriage..mayb it damaged the traveling egg..but who knows.  So Dr.told me I have a 10% chance of getting pregnant again..n succeeding..with my condition of the scarred tube n the other removed.  90% it can b an etopic pregnancy or I won't get pregnant at all with all these issues.  He convinced me to do IVF so I decided to go that route.  In my mind..I thought..what if he is wrong...I got pregnant b4 with all these issues..what if I can again. But then again...do I wanna chance another miscarriage n the pain of etopic pregnancy n more surgeries??  My last miscarriage I was only 5 weeks so it just flushed out of me..I didn't need a D&C or anything..but it was a pain going for blood work to make sure all levels dropped n that it wasn't in the tubes n all.  So here I m now. I decided to do IVF. After spending all this money on copays for each office visit..n paid $3500 for the facility to have my 7 eggs removed..4 fertilized...I transferred 3 on Fri. I told them to freeze the 4th one, n as long as it develops they will.

Hi!
I just read ur experience.  That's amazing how it turned out for u.  There r so manyDr.'s out there..n we pay them..so no need 2 pay a nasty one. I m glad u put faith in God n got ur wish. Hope all goes well for u.
I also have been trying for years. I thought mayb I just wasn't trying hard enough or not getting my days right..etc.
Towards the end of summer I finally decided to go 2 a fertility specialist. I went like in Sept. They told me to come back when I get my period for blood work. I went back n they took my blood..like 20 viles...n they wanted me to go for all these tests to make sure everything is ok.  I was like..forget that..I m not doing it this month..n meanwhile the following month (Oct.) I got pregnant on my own. In Nov. when I didn't get my period I found out thru home test I was pregnant n also I m never more than 5 days late. I called fertility specialist since they had my blood work n I had never gone back. They took blood work n yes I was pregnant. They told me my progesterone was very low n my blood clots too much from previous blood tests. So right away they started me on syringes n suppositories. They did their best to maintain my pregnancy. unfortunitely...I miscarried like a week later.  I had a feeling cuz I knew I had these issues n also I was spotting n cramping n then it turned into a period.  I was very upset cuz after all these yrs I got pregnant on my own..n I would b due in July by my birthday when I would b off of work (since I m a Special Ed. Teacher) Nothing is ever 2 good 2 b true for me I guess.  I've been living in the Dr.'s office since Nov.

My husband and I have been trying to conceive naturally for the last 4 years and no luck (both 35 years). I was about to start fertility treatment but the clinic wanted me to have a HSG first.  My results came back and everything was clear.  The same month as the HSG I got pregnant.  Still in shock.  I am now nearly six weeks pregnant.  Just thought I would let you all know as I know how hard it can be as it took me a full four years.

Hi,
I am so grateful that I stumbled upon this site. I have been trying to get pregnant for almost two years now without success. I've had some preliminary tests done. My husband also had a semen analysis done which turned out to be good. My next potion is the HSG test to determine whether or not there is some problem with my tubes.
I am so happy to hear the a great number of couples conceive after this procedure is done.
Please pray for me.....the test is on Friday 8th...
