Hello Ladies,
I had my HSG a couple of weeks ago. There is an interesting post here about HSG which you may find helpful.
I didnt realised that due to a previous proceedure to have abnormal cells removed from my cervix, that there would be scar tissue. This made it difficult to get the tube through my cervix. The nurse and radiographer did it the end by improvising with some other equipment but if I had read this blog post, I might have had some ideas to pass on to them.
Other than that it was fine. The nurse told me that pain was difficult to predict in women but I can say that it didnt hurt while they were finding the hole in the cervis or passing the tube through and pushing the dye in. It only hurt a bit on one side as the dye went through to the end of the tubes but that seemed to be because I had a slight blockage. The pain was very brief and then I just felt a little crampy for an hour. After that nothing at all.
They took an x-ray about once a second so you could see the progression of the dye. In fact I found it quite interesting to see my insides on the screen and watching as the dye filled my uterus. They also told me at the time that both tubes were now all clear so we could go ahead with our referral for IUI.
Good luck with your tests
