What is an HSG test—and why might you need one? 🩻🧬

A Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) is a specialised test we use to take a closer look at your uterus and fallopian tubes. It helps us check for any blockages or abnormalities that might be making it harder to fall pregnant.

During the procedure, a dye is gently placed into the uterine cavity, allowing X-ray imaging to show us how the dye flows through the tubes. It’s quick—usually around 15 minutes—and can provide valuable insights into your fertility.

🎥 Watch Dr Myvanwy McIlveen’s latest video to learn what to expect and why HSG testing could be an important step in your journey to parenthood.

Follicle tracking scans are a key part of the process. These ultrasounds help us see how many follicles are developing and how big they are—each one hopefully containing an egg. Find out more in this video from Dr Mcllveen
