Conceived with only one Fallopian tube?

Thanks Atomic, I'll take optimism anyway I can get it.

Maiden, didn't mean to scare you about the HSG. Many women have just mild discomfort during the procedure. I'm pretty sure my strong cramping was due to the one blocked tube. If you don't have any blockages, the dye will flow right through.

The radiologist was great and told me to tell her whenever I needed breaks and she'd back off on pushing the dye - I recommend taking those breaks. Also, we agreed to have her throttle the dye to try and push through the blockage. It didn't work in my situation, but it often does.

I just got my summary back and it's my right tube that's blocked. <sigh>

Darn. I still hope it doesn't matter and as has been said the egg can cross over.

Atomic, you wouldn't think the zit thing would make sense but it has been true for me in all my cycles where O side was confirmed. I'm definitely not touting it as proof, just a potential correlation.

I understand and it is always fine to share your beliefs and experiences. I simply do not want to go the IN-Gender route which is that now everyone who reads that is now peering at their face in the mirror heartbroken over a zit on a certain side and using that as proof that they now know the side they are ovulating from.

LOL please God no! Ladies don't do that! Especially not pink swayers!

Also, I don't get zits on my chin every or even most months, despite Oing every month. So it's definitely NOT a surefire method even if it's true. I imagine it might be like O pain, which can vary greatly in how accurately it aligns with O/O side. But it *may* be worth CASUALLY observing if you get a zit on one side of your chin after O.
