Saline Sono?

My RE wants to do a saline sonogram (SIS) before we move on to IVF.  Anyone else have this done?  Is it as bad as the HSG?  My HSG was bearable, but just barely.  I thought the best part of the HSG was that you never had to do it again...

    This one was nothing compared to the HSG.  Mine was done in the office vs. having to go to Radiology for my HSG.  It's similar to a pap and they just squirt some saline in via catheter and use u/s to check your uterus.  It wasn't painful at all.  Good luck!

    Mine does this as standard protocol as well. Heck, if they didn't , they wouldn't have realized just how large of a polyp I had up in there ! Besides looking to make sure everything looks good, they also used it to do the mock transfer and took a picture of what my ute looks like for referance on the days of ER & ET.

    I've done this twice and didn't think it was much more uncomfortable than a pap - maybe just when he was working with the catheter.  I didn't have much trouble with the HSG but still thought the SHG/SIS was slightly better.

    I had one. It wasn't a big deal at all. No pain.

    it was the easiest of all the vaj tests.

    some cramping during and then it's over.

    my HSG was awful (b/c dr. doing didn't know what he was doing)

    I've had two. The first one was a piece of cake. The second caused some cramping while the fluid was being injected, but nothing too bad. Make sure you are prepared for a leakage after :-)
