You are likely afraid of recurrent ectopic pregnancy because the fallopian tube is blocked or partially blocked by HSG. You just have to weigh the risk vs benefit. If you like to have a child at all costs you can try to get pregnant and then when it happens you can be monitored by US to make sure you do not have EP again.
