If anyone is scared, don't be. It's really not all that bad. What I suggest is to take something to calm you down, along with the ibuprophen. I took part of a xanax (.25) ( my husband takes it on occassion, thats why we had it) Because if you get sedated at the place all they give you in 10mg Valium. Any antidepressent or medication that calms you would work just the same I would think. Now I'm not a doctor so I'm not saying to just do this without asking someone. Also make sure that what you take to calm you down is ok to take with the test. I'm sure I would have been fine without it, but it really made my nerves not so bad.

I had my hsg today and it was not bad at all. I felt nothing. The only thing that I actually felt was the insertion of the speculum .. (it was a bit larger than the one my doctor uses and it was metal).. and that didn't hurt I was just nervous. I had no cramping and the doctor who performed the exam said my tubes are open. I get the full result of the test tomorrow. I did take aleeve right before the test ( I brought it with me along with a bottle of water) so I suggest doing that. Hopefully this will turn out good for me and I'll get pregnant! I've heard of so many women that have gotten pregnant after this test. Even my boss said that she got pregnant right after it! So I'm keeping my hopes up!

I tried to get pg for about a year, started going to infertility dr. First thing was the HSG. It totally had the drano effect on me. I was pregnant the next cycle. so far, so good, 9 weeks along tomorrow. as for the HSG itself, I forgot to take the suggested Motrin before the procedure and it hurt like crazy. I thought i was going to pass out. I did the whole hot and sweaty/cold and clammy...thing. one side was partially blocked but the dye must have cleaned it out. whoo hoo. I teach gymnastics and am not taking it easy enough and hope I don't miscarry. good luck to all of you.

Hey everyone, I just got odne my first HSG. I have to say that it was only slightly more uncomfortable than the pap smear. I only took 2 advil an hour before and 2 more advil half hour before the procedure. I was wiggin out from reading everyones posts and expecting it to hurt real bad. I was more afraid of not knowing how it was going to be than the actual procedure, which took only 5 minutes tops. It pinched a bit when he went to inject the dye, but it was more of the anticipation that anything. If you have not done it, do not worry. If you have a competent dr who does it all the time, it goes smoothly. The best part is...I HAVE CLEAR TUBES AND NO PROBLEMS.. WHOO HOOO!! Now I just have to get pregnant :)

Hi Everyone. I had an HSG last month and after almost a year an a half of trying we finally got our BFP this week!! The doctor said that I had a "plug" and that I just needed a "clean out". The HSG was very uncomfortable for me but well worth it in the end!!

I have to say...I have been ttc for 2 years...had 2 miscarriages, 1 ectopic(resulting in only one tube now).....had an HSG last month....BFP this week....it can happen....WAHHHOOOOOOO

PatiKate - how long before you got a BFP? What were your signs/symptoms? I had my HSG last week, and have been bding at least every other day since. I hope it works.

me...I tested 4 days before my actual period was due...I was feeling tired....tender bbs, but that would come and go....I made sure to bd every other day....that was all I did....I didn't even pay attention to the temps this month....I just went for it...I had in my head that after the HSG, this was my month...I have heard so many people say they got preg after one.....I just went for it.....I just got really lucky...keep up with the every other day thing.....couple time a day if you can manage.....good luck to you....I am currently going through the awful quantatative hcg tests....have to check to make sure levels rise "appropriately" every 48 hours...good luck

Thanks for the info. I hope it is my month too! Good luck with your levels!

I just wanted to give an update... I had my HSG on the 12 of Oct.. I Oed on the 15.. I just got a BFP.. WOOOHOOO. I tested 9,10 and 11 dpo and all were negitive and on 16 dpo a bfp.. So the test does help.. WE have been trying for a year... congrats to all the other BFP, Michelle

Congrats! Did you have any symptoms?

Wow ladies, I feel some hope. I just had an HSG done in October and I O'd on the 30th. (My experience with getting the HSG done was a bad one--really hurt me....I almost cried!) So I am in the 2 WW now. Only 4 DPO so WAY too early yet to tell. Though I have had some odd pains in my lower abdomen the past 2 days that is not normal. But of course my mind races to see if maybe I will get a BFP right after having the HSG done!

As
for symptoms, not much till now.. I just always felt like I was going to start me period. My breast are a little sore.. I also wanted to drink tons of OJ . I usually hate it... Oh, also CM stayed really creamy from O till now. Usually it dries up. I hope the chart is of some help

I can't pull up your chart for some reason. Could it be a different link?
