My HSG experience

Hello all,

I was petrified before my HSG and sought advice here, so I thought I would share my experience.  It was not bad at all.  I was so shocked.  I had the saline sonogram and had heard that the HSG would be worse.  It was not.  With the saline sonogram, I had some pretty intense pressure/cramping and was just praying for it to be overwith.  With the HSG, I only felt the slightest bit of cramping when the cathedar went and and that was it.  I barely even felt the dye moving through.  It really was very easy.  I am so thankful.  Plus, everything was normal, which is always a plus!

    I'm glad you had such a positive experience with good results!

    My SIS was much less painful for me than my HSG was....it is so weird how the same tests can be so different for people!

    TTC #1 since June 2008 *SAIFW*

    TI, IUIs, IVF = c/ps and BFNs

    I'm so happy to hear that your HSG went so well and that everything looks great! I have found that for most of these procedures it's the anxiety beforehand that's the worst part.

    Congratulations on your great results and thank you for sharing your positive experience. I'm having an HSG next week and am feeling a little apprehensive so this helps.

    Same here! My RE's nurse said "Oh, don't worry, the SS isn't nearly as bad as the HSG." SInce my HSG wasn't bad, I thought the SS would be a breeze - well, it was far from that.

    I had an HSG yesterday an HSG yesterday with nothing out of the ordianry to report. I think it probably "helped" that I have been poked and prodded for years prior:)  I have the saline tomorrow and I am super nervous.  My HSG results were great, but something is still wrong.  Wish me luck!

    I too was about as scared as you (I wanted to drink beforehand but DH wouldn't let me, plus I ran out of time to hit a gas station,haha), but mine was a breeze, better than paps!

    Good luck!  Both my HSG and saline were normal.  So, we still have no answers as to what the crap is going on.  All we have been told to do at this point is add another vitamin and some progesterone and cross our fingers. 

    The saline was not fun, but it was tolerable.  It would have been much easier if the nurse hadn't injected the saline a bit too fast.  Ouch!  She apologized, but that still really doesn't make it better for me, now does it?
