HSG!

Hi ladies,

I just joined today so I'm excited to finally discuss "ttc after 35" with women who are in the same situation. I started my fertility testing last week. I had my ultrasound which was easy. Then, I had my Sono on Monday which was not so good for me. I actually passed out from the severe cramps I got when the balloon was inflated and saline injected. Now, tomorrow I have the HSG test and I am beyond nervous. I have read so many reviews on how painful it is. Luckily my doctor prescribed some Valium and pain meds for me!

Good Luck, lots of ladies here breezed through the procedure, it was not so nice for me, but its over quick. I was very grateful DH came with me cause i couldn't drive and was completely wiped the rest of the day. Don't worry to much, it may be uncomfortable but its over really quick!!

I was so nervous before mine, you read a lot of stories about how bad it is. I will say that for me it was an extremely weird and uncomfortable feeling, but luckily it was very fast. As soon as they took everything out I felt fine, just some minor cramping and spotting. I hope yours goes well, I think the anticipation of it is worse than anything, good luck!

I just had mine done this month & it was fine.  Very little pain - just pressure.  Once the procedure was over I was crampy the rest of the day like AF was coming. I drove myself to & from the hospital & did laundry when I got home.  I did spot for about 5 days, which is a lot compared to others.  To me it was not bad at all, I had a very good experience.  Don't worry yourself over it.  Just make sure to take Ibuprofen before the proceedure & take more after the proceedure.  GL

Thank you ladies! To my greatest relief, the procedure went really good yesterday and it was not as painful as I expected. Yes, I think the anticipation was worst! I started to shed some tears laying on the table but the Doctor was great! I did feel a little pressure and I had to turn onto my right side. That's when the cramps started getting a little more intense but it was over quick. I think the Valium and Tramadol (pain med) helped too. Also my hubby was allowed in the room with me so he held my hand thru it which was also a relief. Now that all the testing is over and everything is ok, hopefully we can get preggers soon!! Good luck to all who are TTC as well!

I wish I had valium when I had mine.

So glad to hear you had a good experience.  I had two nurses & the dr in the room when I had mine done & the one nurse automatically grabbed my hand & held it.  It was such a sweet gesture.

Thank you Qzees. Yes, such a small gesture helps so much. That was nice of her to do that. It makes a huge difference when a nurse and/or doctor "cares".
