HSG Question - after effects?

Hi, all -

I just had an HSG test (Hysterosalpingogram) to see if my tubes are open (they are! yay!). I wonder if anyone might have had symptoms like this:

(my cycle is usually 25 days)
Day 8: HSG test
Day 9/10: High LH levels (ovulation predictor test)
Day 16 or so: started feeling twinges a few times throughout the day - kind of like really light cramps
Day 18 or so: more consistent twinges, but still not painful like cramps
Day 20: twinges becoming less frequent

I took a pg test today out of curiosity, thinking the twinges might have been implantation. Came up negative and I suppose it could just be too early.

Wondering if anyone else had twinging following that test? Is that a side effect I should attribute to the HSG test or should I drive myself nuts with anticipation and hope it WAS implantation? :) Oh, and yes, we BD'd before/during/after ovulation, so it's a possibility!

I typically have full on cramps a day to a day and a half before my period starts, but this is completely new.

Thanks!

I also had an HSG test this cycle (also clear-yay!) so don't know how much I'll be able to answer your q compared to those who are further from the test.

Nooo, I haven't started charting yet. I'm a project manager by profession and I know I would take it WAY too seriously so I've avoided it so far :)

The twinges I've been feeling are definitely in the uterus - not off to the side like O pains...fingers crossed the dye cleared a path :)

Congrats on your clear test!
