Hysterosalpingography (HSG)
Hello, I am a regular on Money Matters, but decided to start posting here as well. I hope I'm welcomed

Anyway, my husband and I have not been able to get pregnant for the last 4 years or so (in the up until now it was more of just not preventing). Now, we are really wanting to try and are beginning some of the testing. I am supposed to get an HSG soon and I was researching it and it looks like there is the possibility of damage/pain. Has anyone on here done this test? What should I expect?

TTC Since January 2011 - We have bad spermMine wasn't painful, just a little uncomfortable. Had little spotting during the day.
But I am a huge baby when it comes to pain, so take that with a grain of salt.

I forgot to add.. even though mine was AWFUL, the time I was in pain was very minimal. Only when they were pushing the dye. So it was like 10 seconds here, 30 seconds here, etc. Not like 15 minutes of intense pain! The entire thing from the time I walked into the room, was prepped, had the test, and was out the door was probably 15-20 minutes max. And as soon as the test was over, I felt fine, in that I had no more pain. I may have had very minimal cramping, but I don't remember for sure. I know I went shopping afterwards!! I did spot for a good week though. Not heavy, but not light... so make sure you take a pad with you!
So anyway, all that to say, even if yours is bad, it's not going to be like 15 minutes of solid pain! I'm hoping yours is easy peasy though
