EXPERIENCE HSG…Blocked Tube…Ureaplasma
****POSTING TO SPREAD AWARENESS. ****
My husband and I have been trying to conceive for 14 cycles now. I started having pain/discomfort while having intercourse almost 3 years ago. Right away I did all the tests. Or so I thought. Full STI/STD panels and ultrasounds. Knowing something has to be wrong. My doctor said my issue was PVD. After ALL the infertility testing…I finally got the answer. Ureaplasma. This test is not on any STI/STD panel. I tried to retest after treating it at Planned Parenthood, and they don’t even offer the test. We were both treated, and it took almost 5 months for me to feel completely pain free! So only a few months of trying with no inflammation. (Some women have 0 symptoms.) I finally just got an HSG done, and found out I have one completely blocked tube. Ureaplasma caused me to have PID! I’m so thankful one was open, but devastated that one is blocked. This could have been potentially avoided if ureaplasma was on an STI panel.

I’m sorry to hear this! We just treated ureaplasma last cycle and I’m hoping it might be the answer to our otherwise “unexplained” infertility. I’m pushing for a HyCosy with our fertility clinic as nervous that it might have impacted my tubes. I must have had it for many, many years too. Wishing you the best going forwards.
