Hey everyone I'm new on here. I've been reading the threads for a while and thought I would finally pluck up the courage to write on here. I am 25 and me and my husband have been ttc for 3 years. I am having a hsg done in the morning and I am petrified! Has any one had this done? Is it painful? Any advice would be greatly appriaciated 😊

hun, Im also 25 and been ttc for over 3 years nearly 4!
Welcome to the site- us girls on here are very chatty and welcoming

I have had a hsg done- good luck and dont be scared, some ladies dont feel a thing but i did but I think that was to do with my tube being blocked. Take painkillers before you go and dont be scared honestly just relax

Please update on how you get on

Welcome! I'm pretty new, too! I had my HSG last Wednesday. It wasn't my favorite experience but it does go relatively quickly. As said above, I had some pain as well but I think that was due to my blockages. Take some pain meds about 30 minutes before your appt. and try to relax as much as you can. I think relaxation helps with the cramping a bit.

Best of luck to you!! Let us know your results!

Welcome!!! Had my HSG last March. I didn't feel a thing and it was quick. My clinic recommended that I take 2 painkillers before. Goodluck and "see" you around.

Welcome Bambi. Like MrsCompass, I didn't feel a thing with my hsg in October. It was even better than a pap. I didn't take anything beforehand either. I actually didn't have an opportunity to, as I was in for my initial consultation with my RE and she had an cancellation right then and asked if I wanted to take the appt. So I did, and it was no big deal for me, although I didn't have any blockages either. Good luck!

Welcome! Like others have said, take some Ibuprofen or Aleve (something that will reduce swelling, not just help the pain) about an hour before. I had no pain at all, and they actually had a hard time getting the catheter in, so there was quite a bit of poking around going on down there!! I could feel it, kind of like pressure, but no pain. Good luck, and lots of !!!

Hey, I'm also 25 and trying for 3.5 years.

I've not had a HSG done but I am waiting for an appointment to get my tubes looked at. Hope you aren't in this group long.

Good luck. X

So I'm home and I had my hsg. It was no where near as bad as I imagined. They told me my tubes are clear no blockages which is great but still no explanation as to why we are not getting pregnant!
