    I had one over 3 weeks ago.  I requested one since we are unexplained and had 2 failed IVFs. Basically I am searching for answers.  It came back negative as we expected but it was worth a shot.  To be honest it hurt.  Most people I spoke to didn't have lingering pain. However, I still have some pain when I get up after sitting for a while. I just feel like something isn't right.  If you suspect endo then I would definitely do it.  GL 
    ***SIGGY WARNING***

    DX: Unexplained
    6 Failed IUIs (Clomid and Gonal F).  
    IVF #1 began August 2013- BC, 4 days of Estrace, stimmed with Gonal F and Menopur, Ganirelix, 9R 5M 5F, Medrol and Doxycycline, 5 day transfer of 2 early blastocysts- good quality, Progesterone, Estrace, and baby aspirin, BETA on 9/20 BFN,   IVF #2 began September 2013, stimming with Gonal F (higher dose) and Menopur, Ganirelix, 18R 14M 9F with ICSI, 5 day transfer of 2 BBs one was starting to hatch, 2 frosties: 1  BB and 1 AC, BETA on 10/21, BFN BETA was a 5- chemical 
    Getting some more testing and trying to figure out what the issue is before FET in December, started acupuncture on 11/10, RLP and some other BW nothing major to report except slightly high Prolactin. Prolactin was slightly high when I started with my RE and I already had an MRI which was Neg.  Endo biopsy=negative.  WTF is wrong with us???
    12/18/13 FET of 1 BB and 1 AC.  Hoping for a miracle.  Beta 12/26 Low BETA-8 2nd BETA 5- chemical
    After 3 failed transfers IDK where to go from here.  Still no real answers as to why this isn't working.  Getting a second opinion in February and looking into immune testing.  
    2/14- NEW RE- Immune testing showed a partial dq alpha match with DH- On prednisone and did intralipids prior to transfer.  3/14 Lupron, gonal f, menopur, HGH.  ER 15 mature all 15 fertilized!  5dt of an early blast grade 1 and an expanded blast grade 2.  BETA on 4/21.  1 grade 2 embryo frozen
    BETA #1 59 BETA #2 148 BETA #3 283 BETA #4 2,783! US at 6w2d shows 1 bean measuring right on track! HR 121.  US at 8w3d measuring on track HR 177. Released form my RE.  EDD 12/28

    ***Sig***

    I had one before IVF #5. I am not sure it was what made the difference, but so glad I did it after 4 failed cycles. Mine was biopsied for abnormal cells. None were found, and dr was  not even planning to send it to the lab, but we decided to test since insurance covered it.  It was mainly was to encourage the lining to thicken for my upcoming cycle. Some studies have shown to have a positive impact on the lining as it heals it self in the next cycle. 

    I agree that the HSG is worse and this was no big deal at all. Wear a pad afterward as it does cause some bleeding.
