Cityangel Something to bear in mind with the HSG, I am not sure if every hospital has the same rules, but for mine... they only do the test between CD10 and 21 (not entirely sure why, but am guessing the cervix is better positioned??) and I had to abstain from unprotected sex from last period, and sign a form confirming that I had. I think that there have been instances where the woman is pregnant, but it didn't show up on a test, as too early, and then the x-rays cause problems. In fact, someone told me that if they found out you were pregnant they would suggest a termination .
I went in fully expecting it to hurt (I took ibuprofen beforehand) but it is just more of an uncomfortable and weird sensation.
I bled a little (which is apparently not uncommon). They give you a pad to put on straight after, as some of the dye inevitably comes out. It did feel weird, I was sitting having my cup of tea and waiting to give my last x-ray (after the procedure you get dressed, but have to have one more film taken to see how much of the dye has spilled) and I kept telling DH it felt like I had wet myself .
I felt crampy/twingey (like a period) for the rest of the day. And a little sore interally for a couple of days afterwards. Nothing I couldn't cope with. It's just where the speculum has been insitu and perhaps bruised a little?
Sorry - I have gone on. I think everyone's experience is different. But the nurse and Dr were lovely. Oh, and it was kind of cool (but weird) to see my uterus and tubes, and pelvis up on the screen
Good luck. Hope you get your appointment soon.
