Can HSG improve my chances of getting pregnant?
Although the HSG is generally used for diagnostic purposes, it has been found that women with unexplained infertility have a higher rate of spontaneous pregnancies following HSG examinations. The pregnancy rate after an HSG test is believed to be around 2–3 times higher than that of infertile women who have not undergone this test before.
The test itself is not a treatment for infertility; it is done to understand the reasons for infertility. However, it is a fact that a lot of infertile women get pregnant after the test; the exact reasons are unknown, though. Getting pregnant after the HSG, therefore, may be a coincidence, or due to some unknown reason in the procedure of carrying out the test.
While HSG tests are not a treatment for infertility, women with unexplained infertility may have a greater chance of getting pregnant after conducting this test.
