HSG question

kzawisl · March 2011

I have my HSG tomorrow. Will I be able to drive myself home? I know THEORETICALLY, the answer is yes, but how did y'all feel after yours?

I felt just fine, had a bit of spotting afterward, but went right to work. You're not under any anesthesia or massive painkillers for this; just regular OTC painkillers an hour before your procedure. GL.

It was pretty painful for me, but I have cervical stenosis, so things of that nature are always pretty bad.. But I was able to drive myself home with no problems. I got home and had some pretty bad cramping and laid on the sofa with my dogs for the rest of the day.. Good luck to you!!

Thanks all. I'm just nervous. I cry at the dentist

Guess I'm gonna get over my doctor office anxiety REAL quick.

Everyone is different. I had my DH drive me since I didn't know how it was going to go. But I ended up taking the rest of the day off work and my DH drove me to my car at work and I was able to drive home. But I wouldn't have been able to work. I almost passed out during the procedure.

I felt fine. Drove the 2 hour drive home...

I was able to drive home, but I had to sit in the car about 30 minutes before driving. I felt all right after the procedure was done, but I was shaky because no one had warned me about the pain and I hadn't consulted dr. google or been on these boards yet. I hope you luck out and feel next to nothing!

I had a bad experience with the HSG- took them 20min to get the catheter in and even then they did it by force. Very very unusual (especially since my RE has no problem getting a catheter in- I just had a terrible tech) BUT- when that part was over, the worst of the pain was totally gone. It was similar to getting blood taken. The catheter going in hurt, but afterward there is only a dull ache at worst.

I drove home without any problems. Even stopped at Starbucks for a treat. Take some ibuprofen before you go (My clinic recommended 600) and the cramping shouldn't bother you too much. I had a lazy day afterward but I didn't need to.

For me, it was very painful during the procedure but just mild cramping after. I would have been able to drive home. GL

I have been required to have a driver for mine.

I had a pretty painful HSG experience and I was glad that I had my husband to drive me home.

Thanks, all. Had the HSg thismornign and the prelim results sound good.

felt fine to drive home, but feel AWFUL now. I am so crampy i can't stand up straight. I sneezed earlier and it hurt. Texted Dh..."Need Chick Fil A milkshake. Banana. Stat." we'll see if that works.

I am glad I work frome home. Gonna be telecommuting from the couch this afternoon.
