HSG

Just had my first fertility appointment where I’ve been told I need a HSG. (Dye inserted into the fallopian tubes to check for any issues like blockages.) Has anyone had one before? How bad is the pain?

I had one when TTC #2 I didn’t find it painful at all maybe mildly uncomfortable

Ah that’s made me feel better, thank you!! X

I had mine a few months ago, i had completely freaked myself out reading all the horror stories online! Mine wasn’t as bad as I expected. I think it can depend on whether your tubes are open or not though. Mine were open thankfully. I felt a few cramps while they were doing it, and had period like cramps for the rest of the day. I took ibuprofen and paracetamol before. Good luck x

I’ve done exactly that 🫣 thank you! X

Not bad at all! It’s such a quick procedure - minor period like cramps, just take ibuprofen before :)

You’ve put me at ease thank you ☺️ I feel fine about it now! ❤️

Mine was absolutely fine… I had some mild cramps but it was ok. I’ve had a coil before and I was worried it would be as painful as that but it wasn’t anything like it.

That’s exactly what I was scared of cause when I got the coil I nearly passed out 🤣🫣

I didn’t feel anything at all during it, just some mild cramping afterwards

I'm supposed to get one as well. Really scared it will hurt. Good luck!
