Is Air Travel Safe After Undergoing HSG Examination?

Hi, I am trying to conceive got a HSG exam done on Oct 22. I have an air travel coming up on Nov. 6 to SFO. It is a direct flight and I will be back on Nov. 12. I am going to see family so it is not a stressful trip. Can I travel? I have been trying to conceive for the last 2 years. I am not sure whether to cancel the trip or to go because I am not sure whether I will conceive or not. Please advice.

Hi,
Yes you can travel after HSG. There is no contraindication for travel after HSG. Since you had HSG on OCT 22 probably you had your last period around 14-15 OCt. Do the pregnancy test after returning from trip if you miss your period.
Is your journey more than 4 hours? To keep you healthy during your journey i am giving you general advise. Move your limbs every 1-2 hours, take a walk along the aisle for about 5 minutes every two hours. There is low humidity in the plane. Drink plenty of water (at least two liters) and juices to avoid dehydration.
