Hi David and Missy,

I just wanted to also share my experience. I had alot of pain when they were trying to get the catheter in - equal to labour pains at one stage. I have had previous surgery on my cervix and pelvic infection which may be why. The dye part was painless (it feels like a baby kicking weird). I bled quite heavily afterwards, and lightly for a couple of days. I had alot of pain for several days. I definately couldn't work for a couple of days afterwards. For me I was in there for an hour.

I know most people are fine, in/out in 15 minutes, but just wanted to tell you of my experience, it may be better not to work that day. And I would definately have someone come with you for the trip home.

I am not trying to scare you, just to let you know that everyone has a different experience so be prepared to go home and rest and hopefully you won't have to. All the best, let us know how it goes.
