Had my HSG today. I was told to eat and take 800mg of ibuprofen 1 hour before it. I was nervous and anticipating the worst but did not have any pain, cramping or discomfort. I know quite a few people do which must be horrible. For those of you who still have to have one, I had a good experience so hopefully you will too! Best news- my uterus looks good and my tubes are open! I hopefully now get to start my IUI meds tomorrow or this weekend.
I asked my RE about getting an antibiotic and he said unless someone has a blockage that they have to clear, they don't give them. Not even prophylactically. They only give them after trying to clear out a blockage. He said in 12 years, they haven't had an infection. Thought that was interesting
For those of you taking the test- thinking of you and good luck!!
The 2 things that bothered me the most was the speculum and the initial injection getting into place... Other then that I had no cramping after or anything. The whole thing only took 10 minutes. I hopefully get to start IUI meds next week.
