Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Hysterosalpingogram is usually done to detect any anomalies in the uterus or tubes and to confirm the patency of the tubes.
As some instruments will be used during the procedure better to use antibiotics to avoid infection.
As you are planning for pregnancy, better to use either penicillin group of drugs or cephalosporins which belongs to category B drugs in pregnancy and less harmful.
We in our clinic usually advice ampicillin, amoxycillin etc.
But better to take the drugs only after consulting your doctor as she will be more aware of clinical condition.
Hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer your follow up queries. If you are satisfied with all my answer, please rate the answer after closing the discussion.
Take care.
