We understand the importance of comprehensive diagnostic evaluations in addressing fertility challenges. One of the advanced procedures we offer is the saline sonogram, also known as saline infusion sonohysterography (SIS). This specialized ultrasound allows our team to thoroughly assess the interior of the uterus, focusing on its shape, the condition of the endometrial lining, and the detection of any abnormalities that might affect fertility.

If you have been facing difficulties conceiving, a saline sonogram can be an essential tool in our diagnostic process. It is particularly useful when there is a suspicion of uterine abnormalities, such as fibroids, polyps, or scar tissue, which can hinder implantation or the ability to maintain a pregnancy to term. Identifying these issues early enables us to develop a targeted treatment plan to enhance your fertility prospects.

For individuals who have experienced recurrent miscarriages, a saline sonogram can provide valuable insights into potential structural problems within the uterus that might compromise pregnancy viability. Moreover, if prior imaging studies, like a standard pelvic ultrasound, have returned abnormal results, a saline sonogram can offer a more detailed examination of the uterine cavity, allowing for more accurate diagnosis and intervention.

As part of our commitment to preparing our patients for successful assisted reproductive technologies, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), a saline sonogram may be included in your pre-treatment evaluation. This ensures that we optimize the uterine environment for embryo transfer and implantation, maximizing your chances of a successful pregnancy.

At Conceptions Fertility Center, our experienced healthcare provider Dr. Andrew K. Moore M.D, will work closely with you to decide whether a saline sonogram is the right step in your fertility journey. By considering your medical history, previous diagnostic results, and specific fertility concerns, we aim to provide personalized care that aligns with your goals. Our priority is to support you with the best diagnostic and treatment options available, paving the way for your path to parenthood.

We understand that every step in your fertility journey is significant, and we are here to provide comprehensive support and guidance. One of the diagnostic procedures we offer is the saline sonogram, also known as saline infusion sonohysterography (SIS). This procedure is a valuable tool in assessing the uterus and its lining, helping to identify potential causes of abnormal uterine bleeding or infertility and to evaluate the uterine cavity before proceeding with certain fertility treatments.

We perform the saline sonogram after menstruation but before ovulation, usually between the 6th and 12th days of your menstrual cycle. This timing is optimal to ensure that the uterine lining is thin enough for a clear view during the procedure and that any potential pregnancy is not disrupted. Since the procedure is completed before ovulation, you can typically resume trying to conceive immediately afterward, provided there are no complications or discomfort.

We prioritize your well-being and fertility goals. If any abnormalities or issues are identified during the saline sonogram, our experienced team will work with you to address these before you attempt to conceive. Additionally, if you experience any discomfort or unusual symptoms following the procedure, we encourage you to reach out to us for further evaluation and guidance.

While you can generally try to conceive soon after a saline sonogram, it’s crucial to consider your individual health circumstances and follow any specific recommendations from our specialists. At Conceptions Fertility Center, we are committed to supporting you every step of the way, ensuring that your decisions are informed and aligned with your fertility aspirations and overall health.

At Conceptions Fertility Center, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive diagnostic and treatment services to support your journey towards parenthood. One of the advanced diagnostic tools we offer is the saline sonogram, also known as sonohysterography or saline infusion sonography. This procedure plays a pivotal role in identifying potential factors affecting a woman’s fertility by offering a detailed examination of the uterine environment.

A saline sonogram is particularly effective in detecting uterine abnormalities that could impact fertility. Conditions such as uterine fibroids and polyps can be precisely identified, as these benign growths may interfere with embryo implantation or lead to recurrent miscarriages. Understanding and addressing these issues is crucial in developing a personalized fertility treatment plan.

While primarily focused on the uterine cavity, the saline sonogram can sometimes help visualize hydrosalpinx, a condition where a fallopian tube is blocked by fluid. This condition can hinder the meeting of sperm and egg, thus affecting fertility. Detecting such issues allows us to incorporate appropriate treatments to improve your chances of conception.

At Conceptions Fertility Center, our commitment is to provide you with the most accurate diagnosis and effective treatment options. By utilizing advanced procedures like the saline sonogram, we aim to uncover and address any structural obstacles to fertility, empowering you with the best possible opportunities for a successful pregnancy.

We prioritize patient safety and informed decision-making, particularly when it comes to diagnostic procedures like the saline sonogram (saline infusion sonohysterography). This procedure plays a crucial role in evaluating the uterus and uterine lining, helping us identify any abnormalities that may affect fertility.

Before undergoing a saline sonogram, our experienced medical team will thoroughly explain the procedure, including its benefits and potential risks, ensuring you have a comprehensive understanding. Although the procedure is generally safe, we acknowledge that there are potential risks and side effects that patients should be aware of.

Some patients might experience mild to moderate cramping similar to menstrual cramps during or after the procedure. Our compassionate staff are here to support you, offering suggestions for over-the-counter pain relievers to alleviate any discomfort. We prioritize your comfort and are available to answer any questions you may have.

While allergic reactions to the saline solution are extremely rare, our medical professionals at Conceptions Fertility Center are trained to recognize and respond promptly to any unexpected reactions. Additionally, the risk of uterine perforation is minimized by the expertise of our skilled practitioners.
