Happy Hump Day everyone 
I have my HSG scheduled for next week, and after reading some other posts I thought I should ask for some advice. I was planning to go to work for a half day after the procedure but am wondering if that is a mistake? As it is, I am already very sensitive to ovulation pains and AF cramps can be unmanageable for the first 3 hours of some cycles (I usually spend those hours curled up in the fetal position with a heating blanket and feel extremely nauseous... not pretty). Any advice or experience in this area is greatly appreciated!!

Everyone is different....I called out sick the day of my HSG, just in case, and although it hurt me, I was totally fine afterwards! I could have gone to work but, went shopping instead :-)
If you are at all nervous, play it safe and
As much as my procedure hurt, the cramping was manageable after about 15 minutes of it being over. So you should be able to get through the afternoon alright. But if you have vacation/personal days to use up and are really anxious

I agree with Cara. I took the rest of the day off and I'm so glad I did! I was an emotional wreck due to getting some bad news. I don't think I could have kept it together at work following the appointment. I very much hope you don't
