Stinas, are you also getting worked up for your thyroid, fasting glucose and insulin levels? And are you getting a scan of your ovaries to rule out PCOS? Just some other things to test..
Hi Ladies. Had an HSG on Thursday, showed left side blocked. Then went for an US and that showed I have a cyst on my right ovary. Sigh... Just wondering if any of the ladies who have had a HSG ovulated earlier that cycle??? I am having buckets of CM (sorry TMI). After having my DS 2 yrs ago, I have not had much at all. Thought it was maybe changes to my body, cervix, hormones, etc. But it's been 2 days since the HSG and I've got tons!!!
Just wondering if anyone can shed some light on this, thanks.
Hey girls, just wanted to share my BFP!

Hello Ladies, Can someone here please help me? I am worried to the point that I am on the verge of tears. I have an HSG to do in the next cycle. I was really hoping that I wont need it. But I am 13dpo and AF cramps are already here. So it wont be long before the day arrives for the most dreaded HSG.
Could someone please explain the procedure, how long it takes, is there too much machinery around to make it look freaking scary. Do you have to move a lot on the table to let the xray machine take good pics. How many ppl are usually in the room?How uncomfortable is the procedure?How long does it take? And all other details that you can possibly recall. I am so nervous about this whole thing![]()
I hope someone can ease my anxiety![]()

Hi honeycheeks - I personally think it wasnt as bad as many people make it out to be.
For the procedure you will go into an xray room. You lay on the table. They place a speculum into you - as for a papsmear. They then insert a catherta to open you cervix (I felt a weird sensation - not painful at all) The doctor then asked for the xray machine to be put in place. The rest of the procedure was really fast!!! the dye was injected, they took the xrays and removed the dye syringe and catherta! The pain was really short lived. It was suggested to take pain killers for the rest of the day as needed - which I didnt need. I did feel a bit uncomfortable for the rest of the day but not painful.
I hope this eases you. Dont fret too much!
You will be fine!!
Honey cheeks - its not that bad. Don't be nervous because that just makes your anxiety level go up for nothing.
I took 3 alive beforehand.
Skweek described it to a T. Total it takes maybe 5 min. Theres not a crazy amound of machines. Just the normal x ray machine and a little tv that shows the pics instantly. I found it a bit uncomfortable....just as doc described it, really bad cramps...BUT...that feeling lasted like 2 min tops. Once the pain came you tilt to the left then right then boom its over.
It's really honestly not a big deal at all. They will give u a pad to wear right after. Once you get up off table you might get a tad dizzy for a few seconds (I did but I get dizzy easy, especially when nervous). Then you go to bathroom, pee and as nurse described it like push like your about to poop, to help some dye come out. Then your off.
I made dh bring me for a nice lunch lol
I felt a bit gassy and bloated the rest of the day, tiny spotting. No big deal at all.
My tubes ended up being clear.
Don't worry at all. Totally not worth getting all worked up.
They say the earlier u schedule the better. Cd 7-10. I had mine done cd7.

Thanks Stinas, it helps to know that it is less than life threatening to do an HSG. But I get nervous easily. I hope I can breeze through this. Will have my doc's appointment in another 1 or 2 days. I am 14dpo and waiting for for witch. Will let you know the update after my appointment.
Hey honeycheeks. I am 14 dpo today too and just waiting for af to come. I've been spotting and slightly crampy so I know she's just around the corner. I was supposed to get an hsg this cycle but my doctor went on holidays! I am a little nervous for it but I think I'm more excited than anything. My dh and I have been trying for over a year and I'm just getting frustrated that I don't know what's wrong. At least with the hsg it gives us a little more hope that we might be successful. Here's hoping we both get an hsg baby!! Good luck with yours![]()
