Scared to death for HSG tomorrow!!

MrsMAF · January 2010

UGGGGGGHHH. tomorrow is my HSG, I am SO scared. I'm such a baby..

I think the anticipation will be worse then the procedure...but I really need to get a grip.

Just know that it doesn't take that long. Good luck!!

You'll be fine! I took some ibuprofen about an hour before and it wasn't that bad. It's mildly uncomfortable and then you feel like you have really bad AF cramps for about 30 seconds and then you're done. Good luck!

If it's any consolation, my HSG was quick and painless.

Trust me, the anticipation is definitely worse. My HSG was uncomfortable (it felt like strong menstrual cramps) but was over before I knew it. I remember thinking "ok, this kind of sucks, I hope it doesn't get worse than this", and then it was over.

Just focus on getting through it. It's a very important test, but you'll pobably never have to do it again. Good luck!

Mine was quick and almost painless. I had one menstrual-like cramp and that was it. I've had paps that were more uncomfortable! And I forgot to take the ibuprofen. GL!

I liked it so much I am going for my 2nd on Wed. Kidding (my 1st was 2 yrs. ago and I had a d&c in May so it's time) It's really not that bad ,though. Definitley take the ibuprofin...it helps a lot. Wishing you lots of luck

My HSG wasn't all that bad. It was just like AF cramps. Its also over very quickly. Good luck.

Edit: I took a couple of ibuprophen before the hsg. I think it did help.

albjag · January 2010

yes, usually the anticipation/uncertainty is worse.

It is really quick- so if it does hurt, it's over soon. I hope it's quick and painless! Just take some pain meds before hand. I took ibuprofen. and bring pads.

Good luck!! I am a huge baby too, and it was fine. Truthfully it did hurt pretty bad for a few sec. b/c my tube was clogged w/ gunk and it hurt when they were flushing the dye through that tube. But as soon as I thought- 'this hurts'- it was over!

I totally stressed and freaked out and it was not that bad. Just try to stay calm and relaxed...it's quick and hopefully all will be great with the results!

Me too! No cramps afterward or anything either. (I did take 4 Advil an hour before the procedure though!) Good luck!

I am the world's biggest baby. I cried all day when I had the stomach virus last week, If I could do it you could! Remember to take your motrin and bring a pad ( I really didn't even need a pad) and like previous poster said it will go quickly. Good luck!

MerryMarisa · January 2010

Oh hun, you'll be fine. I was really scared for mine as well and it was over in a few minutes. Good luck!

scooterq · January 2010

I just had my HSG on Friday and was scared to death too. Even felt a little panicky beforehand. I took some ibuprofen about a hour beforehand and I think it helped. Like others have said, I felt AF like cramps for a minute but it was over pretty quickly!

GL and I hope it's painless for you!

Jenny952 · January 2010

No, no, it is totally uneventful. Remember to take some aspirin beforehand. It's not that bad, a little uncomfortable but it's over quickly.

Hartmaj · January 2010

Afterwards, I think you will say, "I'm sorry I wasted any time worrying about this!" I was uncomfortable during mine, but I wouldn't say I experienced serious pain. Just be prepared for a bit of cramping, and to feel like you have to poop.

MrsMAF · January 2010

thank you ladies so much...I really do feel less anxious about it now...

iwannababy2010 · January 2010

I was sooo freaked out before my HSG...it was totally painless and really quick. I hope yours is as well. I am sure that the anticipation is the worse of it. Good luck!
