Hi beau

I had a HSG last June, and I too got a bit of the extreme. I won't go into it, my situation was definately out of the ordinary, and I spent most of it in tears from the pain and also bruised.

Hmmmm, I hope someone who had a normal experience comes on here...!

Its a bit invasive as theres a lot of poking and proding down in there, a big light and you have too lay like that for a while. The tube going through the cervix is uspposed to cause a bit of cramping, and so does the dye being injected into the uterus. It's a bit uncomfortable with the speculum, and I really didn't like the pressure of it. It shouldn't take too long.

Definately get someone to at least be there to drive you back!
