Hi Tia, I have not had a lap done before but was trying for #1 for over three years as well which was awfully painful.
I did have the dye test done and the procedure was called a Hysterosalpingo-contrast-sonography (HyCoSy) is a transvaginal ultrasound technique in which a solution of galactose and 1% palmitic acid (Levovist) - or a mixture of air and saline - is infused into the uterine cavity and observed to flow along the Fallopian tubes to assess tubal patency.
I had this done while I was awake and although was is some pain during the procedure I was fine afterwards.

Perhaps Google for more information. Has this procedure been spoken about to you?

Take care
