HSG advice?

Question

Going for my HSG next Monday.. Finally got an appointment. Anything I should know? Worried about risk of infection...

Answer

Update: Sitting in the waiting room as I type this. Have taken ibuprofen and feel as prepared as I can be. Bit nervous but thanks everyone for all your reassuring and honest comments. Should know the result soon.

Answer

All done, tubes are clear. Looks like Clomid is the next step. All the very best to all you lovely ladies who have commented on this post. Bridget

Answer

I have a blocked tube, and apparently a narrow cervix, which meant they spent a lot of time trying to get the catheter into my cervix, eventually having to switch to a skinnier, stiffer catheter. While I will say it was painful enough that I had to focus on just breathing through it, the pain didn't last after the procedure. It was about five minutes of pain, then it was just a memory. You'll get through it!
​
​I did take recommended amount of ibuprofen though. Dunno how much it helped, but it can't hurt to take it! :)

Answer

Take pain killers like they say-- I didn't and regretted it! The dye was so painful going in I had to focus on my breathing and got dizzy. Luckily it was only a minute or so then it was totally gone. It will be fine! FX your tubes are clear and healthy!

Answer

It wasn't nearly as bad as I expected! It definitely felt like cramps but I was bracing myself thinking it was going to get worse and it didn't. Breathing and trying to stay relaxed really helps, and then it is over before you even know it!

Answer

I just had mine today. I took 400mg of ibuprofen 1 hour beforehand. I went in expecting the worst, and almost cried sitting there waiting for them to come in to start. But I felt no pain, all I basically felt was the speculum, and that was it! No cramps or anything. Nothing even afterword. The anticipation was 100x worse. 
​I hope all goes well and smoothly for you :)

Answer

It's really not a big deal.. Just a little bit of pain like period cramps.. Take a pad with u for after.. The dye leaks a bit for an hour or two..Then it's all done & u no straight away if there's a blockage.

Answer

I just went for one last week. Very uncomfortable but bearable. For me the pain was worse than period cramps but I don't have terribly painful cramps during my period.  I definitely recommend taking 800mg if ibuprofen about an hour before. Everything turned out fine for me.  Lots of luck to you!
