How bad is HSG test?

Question

We just started our fertility testing last week 😬 I am VERY nervous for all the testing and blood work. So far they’ve taken 5 1/2 of those little viles of blood and I’ve had a follicular scan on my CD 3. I haven’t seen anything about that scan hurting, but damn it was so uncomfortable! It felt like the most intense cramps and pressure I’ve ever had! Tomorrow I get an HSG test and they’ve already told me to take a pain pill an hour before. I’m worried about the pain 😕 Doctor said it feels like cramps... whos has an HSG done, and how bad was it really?

Answer

I took an ibuprofen an hour before and didn’t think it was bad, at all. Zero pain. I would say the worst part was the dark x-ray room. I would do it again without hesitation if I needed to.

Answer

I took 4 Motrin and thought I was dying. HOWEVER, based on what I've read, my experience is not that of the many. Also, tubes were clear so that wasn't it.

Answer

I have a very low pain tolerance and it wasn't bad at all. felt like period cramps. I had some slight spotting after so make sure you take a pad with you they may give you one. But ask you're doctor if you may take ibprophen 30 minutes before having it done.
