I am going in for my HSG dye test on Wednesday and I'm just wondering what to expect. Is it painful? How long does the procedure take? Is there alot of bleeding or leakage of the dye afterward? Thanks so much for your help!

sooo, not to be a major bummer, but I'm one of those who's HSG was excruciatingly painful: ( I took motrin beforehand and my tubes were clear, but I nearly jumped off the table in pain, I seriously almost didn't make it through!! But it is true that as soon as they're done the pain goes away. I think I have some pain issues in the pelvic region, as I have horribly painful menstrual cramps, often pain with intercourse and sometimes with pap smears. I just tend to HURT down there!!


Anyway, I'm glad I had it done and it will be worth it to know what's going on- so be brave and most likely it will be much easier for you than for me!!

I'll give you my 2 cents. I had the HSG test done last year. It was a bit painful, b/c they had problems getting through my cervix. This also happened with my IUI (the cervix problem) I would take
