At STL Fertility, we know that beginning your fertility journey can bring many new terms and tests - and we want you to feel informed, supported, and confident every step of the way. 🌿
One of the first diagnostic procedures we may recommend after your initial consultation is an HSG (Hysterosalpingogram). While the name sounded technical, this quick and gentle x-ray test helps us see how your uterus and fallopian tubes are functioning - two key pieces of your reproductive health.
💧During the HSG, a small amount of dye is used to visualize the uterus and fallopian tubes, helping us check for any blockages or structural issues that may affect conception. The entire procedure typically takes just a few minutes and may cause mild cramping, similar to menstrual discomfort.
This test gives our physicians valuable insight into your fertility and helps guide your next steps with clarity and compassion ✨
At STL Fertility, we believe that knowledge is empowering - and understanding what each test means is part of helping you feel informed control of your journey 💙
You’re never alone here. We’re honored to walk beside you through every stage of- with care, intention, and hope. 🙏
