TTC After a Loss 6 Months+

SHG Scheduled

I'm learning to be an advocate for myself as a patient since it seems to be necessary with my ob's office. It's a long story that I won't bore you with but I got my SHG scheduled for next Tuesday, February 11th, at 1:00pm.

Now questions:
1) My doctor didn't tell me to take any painkillers, they're just prescribing me an antibiotic to take the night before and day of. Should I still take Advil beforehand?

2) We're supposed to have friends over that night for supper. Will I be in pain after the procedure? Should I postpone?

Re: SHG Scheduled

  • YAYY!!  I'm glad you were able to get in so quickly :)  

    I went from mine out shopping and then to a work/networking meeting then out to dinner with a friend.  Minimal to no cramping for me.  Hopefully it will be the same for you!

  • Yay! I took some pain meds before. I still did stuff after work. I felt a bit crampy, but nothing too crazy. Good luck! I'm so glad you got stuff rolling.

  • Yay! I took advil before I went to prevent cramping and my doctor did recommend it. It was uncomfortable after, but nothing to keep me from carrying on as normal.

  • As pp have said, I would take the ibuprofen, just in case. As far as pain goes, I didn't have much after. Only a bit of cramping later in evening (I think when ibuprofen wore off).
    DH and I went to eat and grocery shopping immediately after. So glad you got it scheduled!

  • Thank you ladies for your feedback! I was so relieved to get it scheduled so quickly and that I can just get it over with. And I'm glad to know that I should be fine afterwards for our night with friends. I didn't want to have to cancel on them but I also still want to be somewhat of a good hostess.

  • I'm glad things are moving along for you, that's exciting!! FX for a boring & normal-results shg.

    I think I'm in the minority on this one, but I felt fine during the exam. And I was good until 3-4hrs later. Then I had pretty intense cramping & took some old pain killers to knock myself out for the rest of the night. I don't know if it's dependent on how much fluid is pushed in or what. I def recommend taking some ibuprofen an hour or so beforehand.

    BFP#4 3/17/14 - rainbow Baby BOY arrived 11/10/14 !!
