I’m glad you had a positive experience pain wise . Mine was the most painful thing I’ve ever experienced. I was screaming at the top of my lungs the entire process, then I was shaking and shivering uncontrollably afterwards, then I went to the bathroom and started crying a lot. It was absolutely traumatizing. Thankfully my tubes weren’t blocked, so I cannot fathom the amount of pain you would feel if one of the tubes were blocked. Wish you all the best 🌷

[@blondienatasha2011]

Same! I was in shock after the procedure. It was so intense that i creased and shouted on the bed during the procedure. No pain when it was over. Mild discomfort after... but I cried on and off from the shock for a good hour.😢

[@denims2273]

@@blondienatasha2011 oh yea! I was in shock for a few days, suddenly flinching every now and then. But we’re all amazing women for getting through it 💪

[@ashlietaylor9085]

I haven’t commented on a KZbin video in years but I really appreciate you sharing your story. This makes me more comfortable going in to my procedure in 2 weeks. I’m sorry about your results, god bless and prayers for you guys ❤

[@sophiem.]

Thanks so much! I hope your procedure goes well, I'm crossing my fingers you get good news :)

[@ingridamaya2525]

Sophie thank you for sharing your experience. I had my HSG done about 4 weeks ago. I didn’t prepare for it I forgot to take Tylenol that morning. I felt no pain at all. The NP was very gentle and sweet. It felt like having a regular Pap smear. The NP was describing what was going on and I watched how the Iodine were went through my tubes. I have both tubes open thanks Jehovah God. We’ll see what happens. The nurses and the NP told me that it’s a different experience for every woman. Please don’t stress.

[@sophiem.]

Happy you felt no pain! That's great.

[@meghangossett3091]

Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm ttc for 2 years now and just had my hsg. Definitely an experience that I wasn't excited for either. I also had a blocked tube. It's devasting news. Baby dust to you on your journey and thanks for being willing to share. Nice to hear other's stories

[@sophiem.]

I’m so sorry to hear you didn’t get the best news. I know what that feels like. Sending you tons of baby dust as well!

[@brimichele5433]

[@sophiem.]

Thank you so much for your kind words! 🤍🤍 I truly appreciate it!

[@aubreydh1976]

Thanks for this. I go in Next week for my HSG. I’m scared and excited at the same time. I been TTC over a year!!

[@sophiem.]

Hope it went well and wasn’t too bad for you!!

[@xg3400]

Thanks for sharing your experience. Praying you have your baby 🙏🏽

[@sophiem.]

Thank you! It’s a long road, hopefully one day soon 🤍

[@thepensieve7677]

I had mine today and the worst of the pain was only a 3/10. I did take the max dose of ibuprofen and Tylenol right before. Don't psych yourself out.

[@sophiem.]

Happy for you! Everyone is different.

[@juliu2707]

How much did you take?

[@sophiem.]

I'm not sure if you're asking me or the person who commented, but I took 2 advil and 2 tylenol prior.

[@juliu2707]

@@sophiem. thank you! How much dosis were that? 😁 I took 800mg of Ibuprofen for a Hysterosonogram and it hurt. Trying to be better prepared for this HSG.

[@Ms.KGP88]

I also heard and it makes sense, it hurts because the tubes are blocked.

[@phoebeobukwa]

My tubes were not blocked but it hurt like hell,its also the pressure

[@blondienatasha2011]

Just had mine 2 hours ago. It was horrendous 😭 I was in shock after the procedure. I asked the specialised if the tubes looked blocked, and she said no, the dye reached through. It was so intense that i creased on the bed during the procedure. No pain when it was done, but I cried on and off from the shock for an hour. I'm glad I went in with blind knowledge to get this done. Now that I know... I will never get that procedure ever again unless with an anaesthetic. I had just 400mg ibuprofen and two paracetamol.

[@BlossomingProduction]

Just had my hsg today. Definitely a bit sore and crampy afterwards, but I was able to make it through the procedure just fine!

[@sophiem.]

That’s great!

[@MrBrookevandusen]

I am really enjoying your content !!! Great quality, you have a really sweet personality, and amazing content ! I am so sorry about the results, I am sending prayers your way from Ottawa. ❤

[@sophiem.]

Thank you so much for your sweet comment :) I really appreciate your prayers!

[@Zainabdailylife]

I had my hsg test this morning. It's totally painless only felt little bit cramps. That's it.i was so scared watching videos on youtube mostly people say so painful i was literally shivering before test but to be honest bearable little uncomfort nothing else.

[@sophiem.]

So happy it wasn’t painful for you! It’s different for everyone.

[@Lizbeth1125]

I think the Tylenol helped you because I just had one done couple days ago and it was the most painful thing I’ve ever experienced. I did not take any meds before either but it was soooooo painful

[@sophiem.]

It sucks that this was your experience! I’ve had some really horrible procedures since this and I can’t believe we aren’t put to sleep for most of them. Women’s healthcare is lacking!

[@lovato2653]

I got my done today so much pain, but had both blocked, but the dye opened the tubes up soooo painful

[@KelleyLylesvids]

I think of this as like a level 1 of childbirth pain and why I'm not so nervous. I am scared of pain as well but since i want a baby i knew that this be a good test run for going through birth. I'm getting one soon as well its scary forsure.

[@sophiem.]

That’s a good way of thinking about it! Hope your HSG goes well.

[@micahjones6007]

Mines hurt soooooo bad I pray to God I won’t need that done again

[@sophiem.]

Oh no! Hoping you don’t 🤞🏻

Hello, sorry if I missed it but how did you end up opening your fallopian tube? Or didn’t?

Real talk started 924. Your welcome

[@diamondjackson8953]

I get mines done in October. I’m scared

[@sophiem.]

All I can say is the stress I had over getting the HSG done wasn’t worth it and it wasn’t nearly as bad as I expected. Sending you the best vibes 🤍

[@ushalakra882]

It's vry painfull test?

[@sophiem.]

It can be, everyone’s experience will be different. I know for me it wasn’t much more than period cramps for most of it. The pain increased a bit when they tried to push the dye through my blocked tube. What I would say is, don’t go into it being afraid, just prepared!

[@aishakibyow3455]

Iam going to I don't know what to do

[@sophiem.]

Think of it as a necessary step forward in your journey of having a baby! Looking bad, there are worst things. You’ll do great 😊

[@SincerelyAliciaA]

Because you took all the pills. My test is this month and im scared but I think ima take extra strength pills so I won't have that much pain.

[@sophiem.]

Yes, the pain meds definitely helped! Good luck with your HSG, it sucks to have to go through it but it will give you answers!

[@Nazariabr]

How much does this proc cost

[@sophiem.]

I’m in Canada and the HSG is part of public health, so it was free.

[@lissiiii]

$300 cost me like 3 days ago

[@suganyathiru5446]

How many months take your pregnancy after hsg test
