Hello ladies


I have just returned from having a pelvic scan, internal scan and an HSG.

None of it hurt at all, the internal and the HSG were a bit uncomfortable ( period pain is worse) but it really was nowhere near as bad as I had feared or read.

I had googled HSG over the weekend and am a bit cross that I believed some of the truly awful descriptions, because in the end it was actually no worse than a smear. I'd got myself into quite an anxious state but the medical team were wonderful and just talked to me throughout and really calmed me down. The HSG was about 5 minutes max.

I took paracetamol and ibuprofen before and had a few drops of Bachs rescue remedy to calm me down and I am sure that helped.

The good news is, they've found nothing wrong.I've had a little cry with relief and apart from some horrible cramping now, I am ok.

Thank you all for your lovely messages beforehand, you helped ease some of my worries. I hope I can do the same for anyone else about to have this done.

I hope the cramping doesnt last too long hun. Good luck for a your bfp xxxxx

I'm so glad that it all went well for you. Was thinking about you this morning. I bled for a few days after mine. Have you had any bleeding? xxx

glad it went well hun. xxxxxxxxxxxxx

HI Katie

yes got some bleeding and horrible cramps, but I really don't mind, its worth it to find out there are no obvious problems.

thanks for the messages ladies

xx

glad everything went well for you,bet its been a weight off your shoulders finding out heres nothing wrong xxxx

Hi MG. Glad it wasn't too bad and that's good that they can't see anything of any significance x

Hi hun,

Thanks for posting this, I'm waiting for my HSG appt and feel a bit nervous so your message has helped. How long have you been ttc?

Love Em J xxx

Hi hun,

So glad the tests went well for you and nothing untoward going on xx

Hi Em J
when is your HSG? Please don't stress about it, its really nowhere near as bad as your imagination .
The whole thing lasts barely a few minutes and it will be over before you know it.

We've been trying 9 months but at 39 they referred me immediately after I saw the GP.

Feel so much better having seen the scan- its actually fascinating!

good luck hun xx

I'm so pleased that everything went as well as could be expected, great news that there are no obvious signs. Fingers crossed you get your BFP soon xx

hello manologirl....so glad all went well for you and everything is ok, what a relief. I don't post much and haven't been on BE for a while as ttc had become all too much for me...mainly post on lttc now but do go between the two....
I am having a lap and dye on thursday which I think is essentially tha same thing as you but I have a general anaesthetic....they think I have endometriosis, so that is probably why they opted for that rather than a HSG.
I really keep my fingers crossed for you for your BFP very soon....thinking of you...good luck x

Hi honey, glad it all went well and things are as they should be xx

Hi manologirl, that's great that it went so well and everything is looking normal. They do say a lot of people have increased fertility immediately after having an HSG, so I really hope this is the case for you and your BFP shows up soon x

Glad to hear it all went well chick.

thanks girls, and good luck Marymac,

baby dust to everyone xx
