Sue,
Where did you have your HCG done? Which doctor referred you? I had my HCG done with no anaesthetic, but nobody mentioned anything about sticking a bendy thing up the tube to unblock it. Is this a common practice? Because I don't think they do this in Sydney.

Melissa, i also had a HSG done about 5 yrs ago in sydney (penrith) i wasnt given any pain relife and they didnt try to unblock it, i am going for another HSG tomorrow at the same place i am now hoping they try to unblock it again
