I thought I had a damaged tube based on my X-ray, but when I had surgery, they couldn't find anything wrong...so I understand. You just have to look at the bright side - at least they didn't find a terrible problem once they got inside.

I was diagnosed with a blocked tube from a fibroid. I was booked into have an op, freaked out & cancelled it. That was 9mths ago. I always think to myself maybe I'll have another test & see if it's still blocked then go & have the op. & not wuss out. I never thought that when they look for it it may not be there? I have been trying positive thinking to unblock mine- I know it sounds airy fairy but I think that the mind is the most powerful healer of all. I don't think I was too much help to you- your situation is a bummer. I think 'melh' is right, it would be worse if they found something there which would cost more money in the end I suppose? Your entry certainly opened my eyes thought- thanks.

i KEEP HEARING THAT THE TEST UNBLOCKED IT--NOT SURE WHAT TO THINK. POSITIVE THINKING IS VERY A VERY POWERFUL THING, MY SISTER MADE A CYST THEY THOUGHT WAS CANCEROUS IN THER UTERUS DISAPPEAR AND THE DOCTORS WERE BAFFLED.

I had two HSGs and the first test said I was blocked on the left side. That test was also very painful. I had the test done again over a year later and it was all clear. That test didn't hurt at all. My second doctor believed the first test was done incorrectly, but who knows, maybe I was healed! I'm just glad they are clear now. It's too bad you had to have the surgery to find out. Best wishes!

THANKS ALL FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT! :)
