My HSG Horror Story

I had the most horrible experience ever when I did the HSG last year. This is what happened...

[@promiseeboagwu4755]

I did mine recently and I tell you have never felt such pain in my life Infact I wept😂the pain was too much my husband had to come in,after then he concluded never to do it again..After d procedure I trew up,the pain can never leave my head.Women really go through a lot I pray God bless all with the fruit of the womb😊

[@TheAcademicMom]

Oh no! I’m so sorry that this also happened to you!

[@oluwafunmilayocomfort3926]

Amen ooo ...Women are passing through a lot!!!

[@shanikajoyner3373]

I just left from getting my hsg procedure done. I’m sorry your experience wasn’t better. I was told to take meds an hr before the procedure so I did. The nurse was very clear with me regarding the process. When the dye went in it almost brought me to tears. The nurse was telling me to relax and breathe. She offered to hold my hand and tried distracting me with talking about my Christmas. The pain didn’t last long thank God but it was so extremely painful. Felt like my first day on my cycle.

[@TheAcademicMom]

Understanding and caring professionals in the space make all the difference!

[@comfortkazah7779]

I did mine yesterday. It’s was so painful, I thought I was going to die because of the pain honestly. I pray I don’t go through such process again 😢😢😢

[@TheAcademicMom]

Oh no! I had a similar experience. I couldn’t go back to work. I’m so sorry you had that experience.

[@alhamdbaig169]

Same 😖

[@jackied6]

Same

[@oluchiehirim1074]

I did mine about 4 or 5 years ago, it was excruciating I couldn't believe it, not so long afterwards another doctor recommended I do it again, God forbid i refused, ended up doing IVF and just got my positive blood test today, HSG is a nightmare!!!!!

[@nataliedavis7196]

That radiologist was horrible making such a comment and very unprofessional. Smh they really do not know what to say to people.

[@user-ms1kr5ph3f]

I just had it done today and i am in so pain. I was on this little bed and begging them stop and there was someone hold down my hands. The doctor talk through the whole procedure about what she was doing but I just could not manage or tolerate the pain. I beg them to stop and I had to get off the table and clean myself up. They deflowered me at that hospital today and feel so traumatized. I had difficulties driving myself home and I started to feel hot like I felt like I was going to pass out. I had to literally call someone to actually help me because I could not manage. I am hurting so i can't even cough and the bleeding too much. I didn't do my research about this procedure either and my doctor did not make a big deal of it.I had one of the most painful experience as a woman and will never do this test again. When it was all over the doctor said to me you want me to tell your results your tubes are cleared. I was so mortified I laid a little and I took myself up and clean myself up. I was given pad and wipes for the bleeding. I didn't care about the results I just wanted the pain to stop. I felt the hospital in tears and pains.

[@DanielleDoublette]

I just got a SONO-HSG! That pain was awful! I should have asked for meds because it was really painful. But honestly I want my baby so much. I would tell anyone to do what you have to do to get your baby ! I wouldn’t want to do it again but I want that baby 🥹🥹

[@MzTigga-zt1nk]

I had mine done last week 4/12/23 and omg😢. They didn't tell me to take anything, they didn't tell me anything, she told me it would take 5 mins it took about 45mins because they had to find my uterus. I let them know it was tilted. The Dr. Was digging in me so bad and he had to call another Dr to help him, that Dr eventually found it and the procedure started. I hope I never have to go though that again

[@sophieselleto3203]

Went through same pain ,it's worse than giving birth 😭😭😭.

[@AG_only_comments]

I had mine recently. No pain whatsoever. Didn't even know the procedure was over. They had given me strong pain medication for the procedure. Additionally, they gave lidocaine injection during the procedure. I think it's the lidocaine that did the trick! Talk to the clinic about it prior to the procedure 😊

[@agboolaeniola4448]

This is exactly my story, no prior information, the Radiologist just told me to watch videos about it on youtube which I did but probably not enough. I was told my cervix was too tiny so the carteta couldn't pass, I had to be dilated and was given a bill to insert in my VJ to soften my cervix. On the D day I kept screaming like sm1 in labor, every touch was like knife cut to my brain. I still have ptsd thinking about it.

[@TheAcademicMom]

Oh no! I’m sorry that this was your experience.

[@luluamos3972]

I just don’t have word for that pain 😢my God I don’t think I will ever try it again 😢

[@TheAcademicMom]

Oh my! Hopefully you’ll never have to. I got pregnant soon after I did it.

[@SashaCasares]

Question: I know the pain goes away quickly, but is having a baby similar to the pain and cramping at it’s highest point from an HSG? I know labor can be even 30 hours, but the actually pain at its highest. Is having a baby more painful without an epedural?

[@cclovecc1221]

This was posted a long time ago and I had my hsg back in 2020 too. I had almost the exact same experience as you. I am a physician and was told to expect "menstrual like cramps". I didn't read online about it beforehand. Was told to take ibuprofen before and did. I was fine with the clamp, catheter insertion, but as soon as the dye went in I screamed the F word. I had no control. Broke out in a sweat, was moaning and tried to get off the table- they held me down. The male physician told me it was like period cramps. My left tube wasn't filling and they had to turn me and then move me again. I literally felt primal fear and pain, I have never felt anything like that in my life. They found out I had a small uterine septum but tubes were open and I don't know if that contributed to my severe pain. At the end someone told me having a baby will be worse pain. So not much empathy for me either. My husband had luckily driven me because I could barely walk after it and he saiid I looked ready to pass out. In the medical community even some women physicians say opioids don't help with uterine pain and there is this whole stance that it's ok to do these barbaric procedures without anesthetic and minimal pain meds (like ibuprofen) stating that some women just have low pain tolerance. However, when I had a miscarriage the pain was not as severe, and opioid pain meds the ER gave me sure did help with the pain. I went on to have a baby and early labor was not as painful as this horrible procedure. I am sorry that you also went through this, and as you can probably tell by the novel I wrote this trauma did stay with me too.

[@TheAcademicMom]

@@cclovecc1221 Thank you for sharing! When I tell people that my two unmedicated deliveries were nothing compared to this, they think I’m exaggerating. My miscarriage felt like cramps, these did not!!

[@alhamdbaig169]

I did mine 4 days ago ... Oh my god ... 😭 Worst pain ever 🙏 n still m feeling down...

[@TheAcademicMom]

Oh no! I’m sorry you have that experience

[@Thisischidimma]

Just did mine today and i still shiver while thinking of the pain i had to go through. I cried but immediately they finished, it was gone. Hopefully i dont have to repeat 😢

[@TheAcademicMom]

Oh my! I hope so too!

[@AyanSalan-t2i]

Mine was smooth but after the procedure like 20mi after i started having cramps that lasted for minutes then it went am getting my results tomorrow

[@juliannanzala264]

I've been recommended to do it but financially I'm unstable my infertility has drained me so much by trying all the tests.wish I could do it soon

[@graceoyelade8234]

I still have pain after 1 year. Will the pain ever go? I wish I never did the horrible HSG test.

[@norayatie4572]

I did mine on the 10/03/2023., i took painkiller 1hour prior the procedure.. it doesn’t help at all..! Untill the night time, 10hours post hsg.,i had to go see doctor and i was administered IM VOREN, the pain subside.. but it still there.😢😢

[@glitterzebahi1064]

I had mine done today it was so painful and still painful I was not told to take painkillers beforehand. I took painkillers afterwards. The pain is killing.........😢😢😢 I had to come online to know if this pain is normal

[@TheAcademicMom]

That was my experience too!

[@terryboo2881]

I did on hsg test 5 years ago that thing hurt very very bad. Even the pain after when the cervix start to contract.

[@TheAcademicMom]

Oh no!

[@leopolo9992]

I did mine and my cervix was way too small for the dye to go in so i have to go back.

[@TheAcademicMom]

Oh no! I’m hoping it wasn’t too painful. If so, please get prescription strength painkillers from your doctor before you go

[@jackied6]

Anyone is experiencing cramping and bleeding afterwards?

[@SerenaTwins-dw2vx]

Yes

[@mariasheffler3983]

It's indeed painful, but it helps a lot that people that helps me do this procedure were so nice . I was in pain but I wasn't upset. They can't find my right fallopian tube on the screen even the dye but assure me that it probably just spasm and was covered by it, they assure me that it could be no blockage , but my left was pretty looking healthy. So I can still get pregnant naturally.

[@TheAcademicMom]

Great! Sending baby dust to you!

[@mduncanq8198]

I did mine yesterday... ooo lorddd... the pain I experienced!!! I am still in pain😢

[@amirah8410]

I also had the hsg test to see way I have not concived yet,the pain was awful, I thought I was dying with the pain,I was in pain for 2 days,the out come of the hsg was that one of my tubes had hydrosalpinx which is toxic fluid which drips in to my uterus and other follopen tube,and its very had to concive, u have to have the fallopian tube out or get it cliped,even with ivf it wouldn't work if u have hydrosalpinx as it would flush the embryo out.

[@TheAcademicMom]

[@taylorcason4077]

Mine wasnt so bad. In fact it was better than i expected. Sorry some of you had to experience dying pain. I wonder if it means something. Just a heads up you can take pain meds prior and when the procedure is starting take a few deep breath and allow your body too relax. Also try to communicate with your Dr to keep your mind busy like ask how the process works or whats next if theyre not talking especially lol. Understand the procedure is about ten minutes and the pain only last about 15 secs then you have some cramping which if you already took pain meds like pamprin you should be OK. If you can hump, you'll be ok 😂

[@nordiabarrett4789]

That's a horrible experience. My sister had done but nothing has horrifying as you have explained. She said that it's something painful but before and after we spoke and nothing like that.

[@TheAcademicMom]

Not all people experience pain, some people don’t feel anything...but you won’t know until you are actually on the table, which group you’re in.

[@rolamzbeautyplus1664]

I did mine few months back, I thought I was going to die due to the pains and my husband said I will still do another one coz another doctor recommend it.

[@TheAcademicMom]

Did the first one show that your tubes had a blockage? There is some research that says it might be beneficial if that is the case. Please get strong painkillers, preferably a prescription strength one.

[@juliatsakani9456]

I did mine on 30th of February iyhooooo i hav never experienced such pain in my life 💔😪😢 same day i couldn't even sleep my husband had to call ambulance for me i was admitted again same day for almost a week in hospital Because of HSG

[@TheAcademicMom]

Wow! Oh my!

[@Salaam.81]

I couldn’t drive myself so I had to call my husband on the phone and ask him to come pick me up…plus my doc didn’t explain to me and I didn’t even make any research

[@TheAcademicMom]

Oh no! Im so sorry!

[@terryboo2881]

I took pain killer before but it didn't help at all

I think doctors need to prescribe really strong stuff instead of just regular pain meds

I’m happy that your experience was not terrible. Every woman has a different experience with the HSG. Some have minor discomfort, for others it is excruciating. It’s better to prepare for the worst and be pleasantly surprised than to be in the opposite situation.
