- I was so nervous to have the hysterosalpingogram done (HSG) because of the worry for pain but also the results. We thought my fallopian tubes may be blocked from my many surgeries. I got very emotional during the test as well as after, so I share what happened in this video!

Hi, I'm Maggie and I have Crohn's disease. I am thrilled to be here sharing my personal experiences with Inflammatory Bowel Disease as well as living with an ostomy. I'm proud to share a little bit from a clinical experience as well, having worked as a GI pediatric nurse and ostomy telehealth nurse. I am so glad you are here. ♥ #ibd #crohnsdisease #ostomy
When you said that you don't hear "normal" super often, I really felt that - chronic illness life is weird! I'm glad that everything went so well with the procedure!
I have been down this journey and can completely relate. My husband and I didn’t go through with ivf because it just wasn’t something we wanted. We did do serafine for four years then 2 rounds of iui with serafine and trigger injection but all were unsuccessful. The best advice I can give is find joy daily because dealing with the possibility of being childless is very taxing on a persons mental health. I found myself in a horrible state of depression and anger. My aunt who also dealt with infertility and is childless said to me one day you will be able to accept the path you are in and be happy again. At that time i couldn’t understand how on earth I could feel whole, it took a while but finally I was able to accept my life. I hope that you have a little one in the near future but if not I hope for you happiness in what ever life has in store for you. I wish you both success and all the best. Sending you much support 😊
I did three unsuccessful rounds of IUI and like you we decided I’ve want for us. It was not quite as hard a decision as I thought it would be
I had a gag and it was f* ing awful. Beyond that actually
Cry all the happy tears you want. I wish you guys all the best with your journey ❤❤❤
Very happy you recieved good news 😀 i went through years of infertility had ivf and when it failed we were devastated of course but i couldn't go through that again so my husband and i made a prayer of agreement and asked the lord to bless us with a child and i stood in faith in god and his word,never spoke negative and even through 2 miscarriages i never waived in my faith and 6 months after my 2nd miscarriage i found out i was pregnant again at 44 years old . .i overcame a couple of hiccups during my pregnancy but my baby boy was born healthy he is 10 today and he is a miracle from God . Pray and trust in him and will answer your prayers. Godless
Godbless
I've participated in over 100 HSGs as an x-ray student this past practicum term* (Sept - now...the last day of my entire program is December 8th, and then I can graduate and write the national exam!!!), and everyone comes in super-worried, but most of them are surprised with how quick and relatively painless it is. But I have learned that some gynecologists (that's who conduct HSGs in my province, not radiologists or NPs) are more skilled than others - a few I've worked with go through about 2X the amount of contrast that their peers do, because they're just jetting it in there super-fast, and it doesn't have time to work its way into the fallopian tubes (it's super rare for them to open up right away - it usually takes 30-60 seconds before both tubes show up, and sometimes longer), so they're causing unnecessary pain to the woman, as well as wasting contrast. The best doctors take their time, and they all immediately show their patient the images that were taken, explaining what they see so that she doesn't have to wait for the radiologist's report (gynos do the exam - rads are in charge of the "official" interpretation) to be sent to their doctor to get answers. *I've also been told that it's super-common for the procedure itself to relieve whatever stricture or blockage of the tube that was there, allowing the woman to get pregnant literally the next time she has an encounter with sperm.* But that could be due to the timing too - women usually have their HSGs scheduled within ~5 days of the final day of their menses, and so ovulation will happen pretty soon after the procedure, so the chances of a person who is doing their best to get pregnant actually having success in the endeavor is greatest at that time anyway.
Anyway, glad to hear that your procedure went well, and that they found no issues with your "plumbing." It's always nice to get good health news!
*My clinical site does an average of 24 of them every week - we see mostly young women who want to get pregnant, but also a few who are receiving the procedure because some other test prompted this follow-up (I've seen fibroids, and even a suspicious-looking uterine lining that could turn out to be cancerous, so the procedure is super-useful for other reasons than just assessing patency of the tubes).
This happened to me! We were told we would need IVF to conceive. We got pregnant the same month as the HSG test and the baby stayed!!! My little miracle son.
I was in so much pain I had to stop the procedure. I insisted that my husband was there because I have had a lot of painful procedures and my pain was ignored. I hit through the fired tube, I don’t know how. I told the radiographer to stop. He tried emotional blacks to let him do side two. My husband did his job and very quietly and calmly insisted that the procedure was ended. Ihad it done under GA two weeks later. My tubes were completely open and no reason was ever found for my secondary infertility.
@@india1422 I found personally that the test pushed stuff out of the path and we were successful after. I have endometriosis.
I wish mine would have been painless! I was in tears. I jerked up off table when cather went in and then tears when injection startes cause pressure
I am so happy for you.
I don't have the same medical issues you have but I've gone through a lot.
I had 7 miscarriages before I had my baby. I have a odd disorder where my body attacks the baby like a bad virus. My pregnancy experience has been tough. I had to take 4 shots a day in my tummy. (Blood thinners)
vaginally insert progesterone and take a painful progesterone shot every week in the tush.
I almost lost my miracle baby at 11 weeks. I spent 4 months of my pregnancy in the hospital on a baby ❤ monitor so they could make sure my little cub was OK. I will say this...
My gosh it's so worth it.
Everything was so worth it.
You can never give up hope. Pray to God and keep your faith strong.
You will be a mama.
You and your hubby will have a baby.
And when the day comes, all of the hurt and pain you've known won't even be a thought in your mind.
It's all worth it honey.
God Bless you.
Love & Light
Hugs from
Omaha, Nebraska.

Hey, Maggie. Getting very emotional too watching your video. Having kids is the most beautiful and most difficult part of my life. Wish you all the best ❤
That is wonderful news! I wish you so much success in your journey. The IUI is a piece of cake, if you should get to that point. For IVF I found an amazing dr in NJ who did a modified protocol with less meds.. This was over 20 years ago, although I see he is still in practice. He had an office near Philly so it wasn’t too bad to travel except for the actual procedure. My miracle (non-IVF!) just turned 19 ❤
8:08. The hubby's cat call whistle cracked me up. We got a little glimpse of the wild man. LOL
Glad you got good news.
Oh honey, you cry those tears of whatever those emotions are at the time!!! I'm so thrilled for you and I truly hope this is nothing but happy times ahead for you all!!!
Aw, so lovely to see you cry happy tears!!! ☺️😢❤❤❤ I am really happy for you! You are have been through so many terrible things and you handle it like an absolute champ. So you're used to bad news but YOU DESERVE ALL THE GOOD NEWS!!! You helped me feel so much better about losing my colon and getting my ostomy!!!! Thank you, Maggie. ❤
This is the best news I have heard is a while, so thrilled for you
Oh Maggie! I wish I could give you a hug! I felt your reaction to "normal" sooooo much! That's all I kept saying as I kept getting my results back on our TTC testing. Not what us chronic illness folk are used to hearing!
We also got a "normal" HSG a few months back and it totally surprised me... and this weekend I take a pregnancy test to see if the natural cycle IUI we did a week and a half ago worked!
I'm in a weirdly similar boat to you, but you're normally the one doing things before me! Lol your surgery video and talks about pelvic floor therapy were so helpful in prepping me 🩷
Don't get discouraged if the HSG doesn't give you heightened fertility. It didn't work for us. But fingers crossed the natural cycle IUI did the trick! Thinking of you both! 💕
17:22 "I have some answers to email" instead of "I have some emails to answer". We can tell your mind is so focused on the good news and I'm so happy for you.
Wishing for the best and that now that you're not worried about certain things, falling pregnant won't feel like such a stressor and have so many unknowns.
Wishing for the best, as always.
💜💜💜💜
I rewatched this video a few times and caught this today 🤣
I am absolutely delighted you got this result! Not having blocked tubes opens up SO many more possible avenues for a pregnancy than if they were otherwise. When I was going through this (my tubes were totally blocked), in looking at the option of ivf, the fertility docs wanted me to have the tubes removed. I never did any of those procedures (for a variety of reasons that felt right for me) but if I had, tube removal would have been one more step along the way.
So glad you had minimal pain (I think it's really only very painful if you are blocked) and a result of clear! ❤❤❤
you are an amazing young woman and I wish you the best for the year 2024
I lost it, when you started crying. So happy for you! That fear of the unknown is so understandable, specially since you have had so much done already. Air hugs to you😊
Maggie so happy to hear your news. I hope my comment a few weeks ago about the HSG helped. Clear tubes are such good news! Also read that HSG flush can help a little bit with fertility.
It really did!! Thank you so much!! 🩷
Wishing you so much good luck on your TTC journey. ❤ Im on that road as well and it’s nerve wrecking. Trying to arm myself with patience, and cautious optimism are my main goals.
Awww Maggie I am alot older than you, and I am crying right along with you in this! Those were tears of relief.
Maggie, I am so freaking happy for and Zak!!!! You can see the relief on your face in the car, which must have brought a huge sense when it finally hit. Best wishes going forward in whatever you decide!
That's wonderful news ! I am so happy for you. Hugs & prayers for many babies for you & hubby😊
Great News 🎉
One more reason checked off.❤
Glad you are finding your direction now while still young. Rest up and take care.
You have every reason to cry!!! For once something went just right for you. Celebrate the win Maggie and Zak!
I’m so happy for your good news, Maggie! Can’t wait to hear your next update.
I was just going to like & not comment 😂 but Maggie I’ve got to tell you… I knew from a young age that I didn’t want to have children. As much as my family thought I’d change my mind when I got older, it didn’t. And here I am in my 50’s and thankfully I don’t regret it, it just wasn’t for me. That being said, I was crying watching how moved and overwhelmed with joy you were talking about your results. I might not know that feeling, my sister described it as unrelenting, that you just want to be a Mom more than anything. But I’m so thrilled that you and Zak got some great news!! Super excited for you guys 😊💃
I'm so happy for you and Zak! You are such a nice couple! You are adorable!
I have servere crohns with a proctocolectomy and are trying to concieve atm aswell. This news makes me so happy for you. I will be following your journey and wish you all the best ❤
Hi there. I want to start by thanking you and your husband from the bottom of my heart for your willingness to share your experiences. Your openness and honesty is both refreshing and enlightening. I'm a new subscriber to your channel, and I will tell you why in a moment, but my youngest daughter is not new to it. You have helped her considerably in her struggles with fertility and I will leave it at that as it's not my story to share. That said, she just sent me a link to your channel as my wife of 42 years just underwent an APR and, as you probably know, now has an ostomy bag.
Our experience thus far, which is only a few days, has not been a smooth one. The hospital we had the surgery done at seems to be in a staffing crisis. Both my wife and I contracted Covid-19 while we were there. We received mixed messages from various nurses (even as to what procedure my wife had undergone - colonoscopy vs ileostomy) and she was discharged without anyone examining the ostomy or other incisions. We were given a pack of very limited supplies but no real training on how to use anything. Home care was not scheduled to begin for five days following arrival at home. We felt a bit left on our own to figure things out.
The appliances the hospital had applied were leaking and we tried to replace them ourselves using one of the three they sent us home with. Twice we thought we had it and twice the ring adhesive failed to hold against her skin. We were even treated to the dreaded "volcano" - baptism by smelly fire 😁.
While preparing to put on the second ring I noticed that two of the stitches on the stoma were not attached to anything. My wife is now back in the hospital in covid isolation as they are experiencing an outbreak. I am not allowed to visit since I caught covid there during her first stay following surgery.
All this is just a long-winded way to let you know that you have helped my daughter and her husband (who now have a new little one) as well as my wife and I. Your empathy is as clear as your bravery to act on it. Thank you so much.
Maggie, I was almost in tears with you.🥹🩷 Such great news!! Sending you a big hug!!
I am so very very happy for you darling. You and Zach just have been through so much and this just takes away a fear that you had of being the problem and you’re not dear. You’re just not the problem, he’s not the problem it may be a simple problem. It may be a time of month problem. It may be when you do it. Problem could be all sorts of things, but I am so glad that you got the news that you got, and that your tubes are completely Open, it’s just amazing truly amazing💕💖❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Congratulations!! That's wonderful news! ❤
Yay congratulations Maggie!! Best of luck to you guys! Even myself as someone who never wants kids kinda teared up a little for you because I know how badly YOU want it. I will keep my fingers (and toes) crossed for you two. Even if not this cycle then soon! Good luck❤❤
Wowowowowow Thankyou for taking us with you cannot wait for the next steps!! I mean baby!!!
I'm so happy for the both of you and hoping nothing but the best to come and all works out for you guys. 💓 🎉
Yay for open tubes!! Very happy for you!!
So glad that you got good news!! So happy for you both.
Such great news!! I'm thrilled for you 🎉🎉
Wow Maggie ! So happy that you're procedure went well, and your tubes weren't blocked! Those happy tears were everything ❤️❤️❤️
I am so happy for you that you got this amazing news. You deserve it!! Enjoy! Celebrate!! 🎉
Sooo glad for you. You've been through so much. I hope it's ok I'm saying a prayer for you right now. God Bless
Maggie , I have been watching you for years. You have helped me for so long and today I couldn’t be any happier for you. You’re so blessed. I cried the day you got married. And today is just as joyful as that day. I do look forward to videos to come …
Good news! Glad you had a good experience. One of my tubes was blocked (same reason as you expected), but the other was clear, and I managed to conceive naturally, so I hope the best for you!
So happy that everything went well. Now you and Zak are closer to growing your family. Hoping for all the best for you!💕
This is such good news. Your life has given you pain. I understand the "fear" of pain was part of the upset for you... but luck on your side with the reality of tolerable pain.Move through this with more hope...It is warranted.
I am so happy for both of you. I adore this couple.
Love that you got good news!
I have Crohn’s myself
I enjoy your videos
Same
So happy for you both! The year to come is going to be fantastic for you, I just know it.
So happy you got great news!!
🎉🎉🎉
I'm so happy that you received good news. Happy dance time!🕺💃
Awesome! Congratulations !!👏🎉
I’m originally from Hatfield/Lansdale area! So cool to see you go to familiar towns/cities now that I live out by Pittsburgh!
Smiles, this is such wonderful news ❤❤❤
So glad that the test was positive. You an Zach are good ppl. Good Luck@
congrats with the great news!
Hi, Maggie ! I've been following for about a year, since I received my own ostomy. For that time, I've shared your joys and your pains from a distance, including your HSG test. I just want to tell you how important you have been for me, how you've lifted me up when I needed it. I will continue to be with you in prayer and in hope---and with a huge dose of gratitude for all you and Zak do. Many blessings !
I really feel your emotions! The infertility journey is so filled with roller coaster emotions - my husband and I went through it for 5 years. This is such a positive result for you and I’m so happy for the results. I also commend your courage in sharing this journey with us. I know from experience it’s not easy. You have helped me in my new journey as a fairly new ostomate and I’m praying for you in your journey to have a baby. It will all be worth it and you and Zak will be amazing parents! ❤️
I am so very happy for you. I could feel the relief and your elation through your video. It's not often those of us with chronic illnesses hear awesome news. Congratulations on excellent results.
Yay, young lady….you are a superstar!
Praise GOD!!!!!! Hallelujah! Praying for you and your husband.
Oh, Maggie! I'm so relieved and happy for you!
Great news 🎉
Good Luck, Sweetie!! ❤❤ ✌🏼💜
Congratulations. That is a great news. Praying for you and wishes for a next pregnancy. Sorry for my English. Hugs from Spain for you and your husband. Your videos help me a lot.
Open and flushed!! 😊 let’s hope that triggers the next great stage. You need a good brake like this.
Great news Maggie and Zak! Now on to the baby making, right? Hey, at least the "trying" is usually enjoyable! May you guys succeed in procreating, may you, the baby and Zak all enjoy this new adventure in your lives, and may our Father in Heaven and all His Angels watch over you all not just now but Forever! Love, Susan in Hyde Park, NY.
❤.
I'm so happy for you
Fallopian tube party at Maggie's house!!!! So happy for you!
Congrats Maggie! Hoping for the best for you and Zak! It’s so shocking to hear “normal” when you’re an IBD patient.🎉
That is what happened with me. I had the test and got pregnant the following month.
That's wonderful ❤
Well, good news! That’s great.
Hi Maggie, I am so thankful for your channel. I have been learning for a month now previous to my husband's proctocolectomy and Barbie butt procedure. He had a cancerous polyp in his rectum. Well I started back at your early videos and I wanted to see what you think about this idea. Along with your wedding venue, I wonder if you could have a Christmas tree farm ? We live in Virginia and we live at the beach, Virginia Beach, which has four seasons so at Christmas time we drive out to a Christmas tree farm and they take us out in a tractor pull cart. My kids picked out a tree and the man, " Farmer Bill, { think Farmer Zak }, cut the tree down and he pulled it back with the tractor cart. We payed a fair price and it was just fantastic. We now go every year and it is so fun. His farm looks like yours . Also your wedding venue idea is fabulous. I love when your dogs get in the videos and watch like when they watched Zac changing your bag. We were screaming at her. You have to laugh on this journey. My husband has had Crohn's and U/C at least sixteen years or more. Blessings to your lovely family.
That is GREAT news!! I'm so happy for you! 🤗🥰
Could not be happier for the two of you. Deserve the great news!
I'm so happy for you and hopefully for the future, good luck, I've been down the road with fertility problems and now have adult children so it can happen, ❤
when i have procedures now the dr uses a paediatric speculum i also now have ladican to numb the area very helpful glad all went well with your test
Such wonderful news ❤️
That’s great news!! ❤
Congratulations wonderful news so glad for you and Zak
Such great news Maggie! One more hurdle over with. Onward! I'm looking forward to hearing about your journey to parenthood, however it may happen. You will be the most amazing parents!
Wonderful news!
Congratulations on a great outcome of your test. If waiting ‘til you ovulate does get you pregnant that IUI procedure seems like the best way to guarantee conception without going the IVF route.
Thrilled for you!
Awesome news! Wishing you the best!
I’m so happy for you!!! That’s so very exciting and wonderful news. Good much in the continuation of this journey. May you both be blessed in this and may you have the best outcome that can come. I found your channel because I have been exploring all the stuff about gut issues and I’m now starting all kinds of testing to see what maybe wrong. So in the last few months that I have been watching you I’ve really enjoyed the videos and how open you are about sharing your life and your medical issues. Thank you for doing this and helping bringing awareness to all this.
I’m so happy for you guys ❤🙏❤️🙏
don't worry about crying hunny! I know you've been worried.
When I had IUI the hardest thing on recollection was the routine of the nasal spray to stop my own hormone production. And the timing of the injection before the insemination. I can’t recall exactly how many hours before the procedure it was but I’m one cycle I had to give myself the injection car!! Thankfully not wrongfully arrested for drug use!! Hope all goes well :0)
Wonderful news. ❤
Hey Maggie my name is Patricia on living Toronto and my first ostomy Channel I ever found was vegan ostomy and we've been communicating lately about products I found on Amazon and I mentioned to him some of the tips I found from your channel and he said he already knows you and he's your friend❤❤❤❤ you are so young I pray that everything works out for you and Zack❤❤❤❤ blessings from Toronto
Aww Vegan Ostomy is amazing! We met at a conference in Chicago a few years ago and is even lovelier in person than on his channel!
@@LetsTalkIBD yes he told me I found him about 2 years ago I have had an ostomy for almost 15 years and I have learned more from him and yourself I've learned a few extra things then I ever did from so-called professionals and when I had mine done there was no RUclips to look for things I had no idea where to look blessings from Toronto
Hooray for you Maggie and Zack 🎉 happy happy news !
I had a HSG and fainted on the table with the pain but before i got any results i was pregnant. Fingers crossed for you x
I believe in the UK this is a hysteroscopy. My daughter has had several with polyp removal and the most recent opted to have it without a GA.She was much better after that than after the one with a general
These are actually 2 different tests! The long name for what I had is hysterosalpingogram! :)
Aww that’s great news! Glad it wasn’t too painful. Lovely to see you so happy 😁 xxxx
I am super happy, excited and relieved for both of you! I started crying when you started crying about the blessing you learned about at this appointment ❤ oh if only you knew that the body will do it’s most amazing work when you least expect it ❤❤❤ congratulations ❤❤❤
Hope you get good news
I'm so happy for you! I've just got to the bit where you say "they're open!" and now I have a proper smile on my face ♥ Edit: So I have family and friends in the fertility field. I think that even if your hormone levels are normal, they can still put you on medicines because they want to make you 'extra' fertile rather than just normal levels, my Mum used this (my basic knowledge!). So you can have medicines that boost your normal cycle. Or if you have actual IVF then they use drugs differently and your normal cycle is irrelevant because they use medications to give you an 'artificial' cycle (a cycle determined by drugs only not what your body would do without them). Given the mental stress of their field, they may not always seem crazy enthusiastic/ emotionally involved because if they got too emotionally involved in each case then it would be too overwhelming for them in their career. But please know that they do really care! I know from one of my best friends that she loves her job and working as an embryologist means the world to her. She isn't a Mum herself technically, but she is like a Mum to the 100s of babies that she has helped to bring into the world. x
07:00 Hospital chic? Ya gotta love it…… 🤞Sending all the positive vibes the universe has for You Maggie and Zac 🍀🌼……… ⚛️☮️🌏
I got the same procedure done years ago - after having tried to get pregnant- and got pregnant two months later at 34.
