Re: HSG

  • To be honest, i think it can go either way.  i have heard some people say it was nothing and others complain that it hurt like hell!   You may be one of the lucky ones so try not to worry too much in advance and take some Advil before hand (Dr usually will recommend this).  Even though it did hurt me a lot, it's over fairly quickly so it will all be fine!

  • I had one a few months ago and a few years ago! Take ibuprofen! It isn't bad. Just cramping and a little bleeding/spotting! Good luck!

  • I agree, it seems it can go either way. I've heard many people say it was fine, I just wasn't so lucky. Take the advil and if it is uncomfortable, remember to breathe! It's pretty quick and I was only slightly crampy after.

  • I had an HSG a few months ago. For me, it was uncomfortable but not painful. I had a little bit of cramping and spotting for a day or two after the procedure and lots of spotting toward the end of that cycle.

  • My HSG was no big deal at all! I've heard if there is blockage that it can be painful, but I didn't have any. To me it felt like a pap smear, it just took a little bit longer. Uncomfortable is a good word for it, but it certainly wasn't painful.

  • I also agree about it going either way.  Mone did not hurt at all but I did not have a blockage. 

    I am hoping to have a repeat HSG next week to rile out a blockage since I have not had one since 2010 as long as my hcg levels are down to 0.  I honestly can't imagine it hurting more than the D&C I had last week with just local anesthesia and being awake with no meds. 

    I did get pregnant with my sticky baby, DD right after my HSG in 2010.

  • Honestly i stayed very relaxed during mine and I really didn't feel a thing. It was over before I knew it and only a little spotting afterward. Good luck!

  • Looks like I'm one of the lucky hsg experience cases felt nothing during, minor cramping after for 20min, minimal spotting so far. And my tubes are clear, although one side did take slightly longer to fill.
