Chemical Pregnancy and HSG

Cait
This cycle I had my first chemical pregnancy. It was pretty upsetting to get that positive and then have it end up negative. Now; my OB wants me to get a HSG next week but otherwise treat this cycle as the others. I start my femara tomorrow. 
What should I expect the first cycle after a chemical? Is everything the same? I've read some people ovulate at different times after one. Anyone experience this?
Also, other than take ibuprofen any advice for the HSG? 
Thanks ladies!

I'm so sorry for your loss, my first cycle after a chemical was same timing as before but my period was heavier. I took 600mg of Advil before my HSG, where something you feel comfortable in as you might be a bit uncomfortable after and you'll need to wear a pad. I had one on weds so let me know if you have any other q's.

I'm waiting to get the results of my bloodwork and my husbands bloodwork back and my dr is prepping me for IVF if we want/need to do that next. It's all a bit overwhelming which I'm sure you can relate to.

Did not have any change the month after my chemical either

I had my HSG last week. The actual test wasn't too bad, it was uncomfortable, but over quick enough. It was after that I felt awful. Maybe 4 or 5 hours later I was clamy, had pain in my abdomen and felt like I was either going to pass out or vomit, or both. My boss didn't even want me driving home. That lasted a few hours, then it came back periodically over the next 2 days, but not as intense. Had my IUI today, so I hope it was worth it!

I've had a couple. In two my HCG was really low below 30 and my cycles were normal, but I had another chemical where my hcg was 118 and that took 5 weeks for my levels to drop below 5 and that cycle was not normal. I had to wait a whole cycle to try again. Best of luck. It's a crappy situation so sorry you are having to go through it.
