ladies who have done HSG test

I know there are a few of us who have done the HSG test. Did anybody have an unusually heavy period the cycle you did your test?
About every other or every second cycle, I have one heavy day (less than 24 hours) with small clotting. This time, before my period actually even started, I had on clot that I still only considered spotting. And I'm now going on over 24 hours of heavy bleeding and LOTS of clotting. Clotting like I've never seen in my 20+ years of having a period. And tons and tons of bright red blood. And the cramping has been awful.
I just wondered if anybody else had experienced this or was told this could happen after the HSG test. I could see how it could happen, but this was one thing I had not read about when I did the test.

Thanks ladies! I also went ahead and posted on 3T since I imagine there are more ladies there who have the test.
I did have awful cramps for a few days after the test, but the spotting was done by the next morning.
It's not to say I've never had really heavy periods. When I was younger, before I ever went on BC, I had VERY heavy periods. But, I've only had one heavy like this since BC, but I've never had this type of clotting and the bright red blood. I just know my body and this is different.
Side note: the HSG was clear; no blockages.
This has happened a few times now. I have a lot of clotting, and went through three super tampons in an hour and a half this weekend. I thought it was just a heavy flow...I didn't know it was something to be concerned about.
My period did seem a little heavier after the HSG. I had one of those, "Well, these pajamas are ruined" moments, which hasn't happened since I don't know when. It really only seemed to be a day (maybe two) of heavier than normal bleeding with a bit more clotting than usual.
I don't think mine was as extreme as what you are describing, though. I didn't really notice more cramping or anything like that. If it continues or gets to where you are soaking a pad or tampon per hour, you might want to call your doctor just to be sure that everything is o.k.

Oh my goodness yes! Make sure your doc knows. That is not normal. It's not necessarily something wrong but if it's too common then your doc may wanna take a look-see around.
Thanks for letting me know. DH and I have been talking about what our next steps are. Now that I know those large clots are not normal, at least I have somewhere to start with my doctor other than "We've had good timing and I'm not pregnant yet." ::sigh::
