Anyone have the HSG dye test?

Question

I’m supposed to have one on Friday (as long as it works out with the outpatient center) and I just wondered about anyone’s experience with it? What was the discomfort level? Did you get pregnant right after? Any advice/comments are welcome!!!

Answer

I had it done 3 years ago. It’s not painful (take ibuprofen before hand though! That’s what I did) and I’m now onto ivf. 
Good luck

Answer

You wouldn't get pregnant just from doing the exam.

Answer

Had it done last week
I took 2 Advil extra strength and was good. Little feelings not not bad

Answer

I had one little over a week ago... I was shaking because I was scared from the horror stories of women saying how bad it was... but it wasn’t. When inserting the catheter into my uterus I felt a sharp pinch(not unbearable, no tears) and then I felt one really strong/bad period like cramp.. it made me want to get in the fetal position but it last only a couple seconds! It was pain free after that. Some women say it’s the worst but it’s not, it’s not. Some people have very, very low pain tolerance or never felt a cramp before.

Answer

I had mine in May. Still not pregnant, unfortunately. I felt no pain during the procedure, maybe just a little cramp. Good luck!

Answer

I had mine a month ago and it was painful but that was because I had a polyp blocking my left tube and a good portion of my uterus. They did a water ultrasound the next day to confirm and then the surgery to remove the polyp 4 days after the HSG. It put me out of the running for trying last month but the dr said I’m good to go this month:) take Ibuprofen it will help and I’m sure you will do great :)

Answer

I had it done yesterday, I don’t experience bad period cramps so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was told to take 800mg of ibuprofen and that’s what I did an hour before. Well let me tell you, when the catheter was inserted and the balloon was blown up, it felt like the worst cramps of my life. It was a sensation that my period was immediately about to start. It wasn’t unbearable but I never want to do that again. I should add that my tubes were clear so there wasn’t any pain from the dye going through, just the catheter and balloon. I spotted just a little bit after it was done and just felt a heaviness down there the rest of the day.
