Dear doctor,

Is it usual to do the HSG and IUI in the same cycle, i.e. is it usual to do the HSG before the IUI? Or should I wait until the next cycle to do the insemination if HSG shows no blockage? Thank you and all the best.

Dear Atkalv,

There are no obstacles on doing the HSG and IUI in the same cycle, providing HSG shows no blockage of the tubes. Several studies have shown that the hysterosalpingogram (HSG) significantly increases your chances of getting pregnant within the next 12-24 months.
