HSG question and specific's about Florida

Hey ladies... I need a little help.  I have a couple questions...

How bad is an HSG? I've heard a few stories from being out for a week to just a few hours with pain.  So how long were you out of commission? I am trying to figure out if I do this while I am out of town if it's going to ruin my whole vacation. 

Also, if you live in Florida - specifically Orlando area, where did you have yours done?  If I can get in somewhere my RE will fax orders to them. The nurse said they are done usually at a hospital, but I know that imaging centers can do them too.  If anyone has any helpful info on this I'd appreciate it.

    1. It will truly vary by person, but I've never heard of anyone being out a week, unless they had theirs done decades ago. I drove myself there and home, and went sightseeing later in the day. My cramps were moderate for about 10 minutes after the procedure, and I just had a dull, achy, full feeling the rest of the day. I did a lot of sitting around.

    2. Can't help you with FL.

    Good luck.

    Can't answer as to the specifics of FL, but I was not out of commission at all. Mine was at 2 and I took the rest of the day off of work, but it wasn't necessary. I was crampy afterwards, but nothing worse than when AF is around. It wasn't pleasant, but I have been through lots of worse things.

    Take your own pad (there will be leakage and theirs are ginormous) and take some painkillers 30 min to an hour before.

    Mine was really not that bad.  Keep in mind if you do it during a vacation that you might have spotting afterward, as well as cramps.  To me the whole experience was similar to Day 1 of a bad period, but the anxiety attack I almost had beforehand was the worst part :)

    OMG @ a week recovery!  I am having mine done tomorrow and I am taking the afternoon off, but I plan to be back at work on friday.  I asked my RE for a valium script though because OTC pain meds don't ever do much for me.

    I am leaving in about 2.5 hrs for mine, so I will let you know!!! This is my second one. My first one was really easy, just some cramping - but I will try to check in this afternoon and let you know!

    Just got in from mine this morning.  It wasn't terrible, just some cramping and a bloated feeling like with a bad period.  I'm planning on going to the gym tonight, so I'm not out of commission too much.

    Sorry can't help with the FL question.

    It's been a year and a half since my HSG... but from what I can remember it wasn't bad at all and I was fine by the next day.

    I live in Orlando and see Dr. Trolice (he is in Winter Park which if you are unfamiliar with the area it is 5-10 minutes from downtown). Here is his website - myfertilitycare.com
