The room was rather small and his chair was not placed very well. He's way more familiar with how a speculum works than I think he ever wanted to be. </p> <p>Overall I didn't think the procedure was too bad (it hurt like a mother when they put the catheter in, but at least it didn't last very long) but holy hell the cramps afterward were terrible for an hour or so. </p> <p>One side was totally open. The other was slightly hidden by a cyst, but they could see bubbles going through (though maybe not as fast as the other side) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-able-to-share-an-shg-experience#post-2149727 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 10:11:40 +0000 BSB 2149727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had 2 of them and it wasn't so bad. Similar to an HSG. For me, I just had to make sure to tell the dr not to use any iodine solutions because I've had a allergic reaction to the iodine before. </p> <p>@MaryM: DH did not go to my HSG or SHGs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-able-to-share-an-shg-experience#post-2136559 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 12:41:40 +0000 FliegepilzHut 2136559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaryM: My husband didn't attend either of mine, but it would have been fine with me if he had. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-able-to-share-an-shg-experience#post-2136424 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 11:55:45 +0000 MaryM 2136424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>follow up question...did your husbands go with you? was it weird for them to be in there?</p> <p>DH has been to other TV USs, but I wanted to make sure it wouldn't be awkward for him to be there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-able-to-share-an-shg-experience#post-2135587 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 17:29:44 +0000 MaryM 2135587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All of this leaking talk is making me glad I took the day off work just in case. (plus, yay long weekend!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-able-to-share-an-shg-experience#post-2135581 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 17:20:42 +0000 MrsKRB 2135581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just had this done last week. I didn't feel a thing (compared to the HSG which was a little painful/crampy). I definitely was leaking a lot after though (fluid, not blood). My dr actually found a fibroid that I had no idea about and was not seen on the HSG. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-able-to-share-an-shg-experience#post-2135517 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 16:27:10 +0000 MaryM 2135517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you all for sharing. And for sharing your positive outcomes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-able-to-share-an-shg-experience#post-2135509 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 16:24:00 +0000 wrkbrk 2135509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaryM: I had one! It's not super fun but definitely doable, and FAST. I think I took an ibuprofin ahead of time like they told me to, then they inject the saline via a tiny catheder and the whole thing was over in 5 minutes. Obviously anything being inserted into your uterus does not feel good, but it was fine, all in all. They found my fibroid this way, I had it removed, and now I am pregnant! (2 cycles after the surgery). :) Good luck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-able-to-share-an-shg-experience#post-2135458 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 15:44:46 +0000 travellingbee 2135458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had this done and no the leaking is not continual but I did have cramping all day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-able-to-share-an-shg-experience#post-2135396 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 14:56:45 +0000 MaryM 2135396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does the leaking continue long throughout the day (should I make sure I have pads on hand after I'm home)? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-able-to-share-an-shg-experience#post-2135386 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 14:50:29 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2135386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had it done twice as well. It's a relatively quick procedure, but it is a bit uncomfortable. I had some mild cramping and spotting after mine. It is a strange feeling when they put the saline in, but I can't say that it's painful. Just weird. Oh, and it's messy! The nurse should give you a pad afterwards because you'll leak for a little while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-able-to-share-an-shg-experience#post-2135337 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 14:25:23 +0000 FliegepilzHut 2135337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had 2 of them and hardly felt them. It probably helped that they were being done by my RE as part of the lead-up to IVF (and a FET). I hope yours is similarly easy! :happy: They will usually recommend that you take some ibuprofen beforehand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-able-to-share-an-shg-experience#post-2135324 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 14:22:02 +0000 magnolia 2135324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had one after 2 miscarriages. They inject saline in your uterus which is a bit uncomfortable and then do an ultrasound.. I had some cramping afterwards.</p> <p> . Dr saw what he thought was a polyp and led to having a hysteroscopy. During which he removed both the polyp and previously unseen uterine septum. </p> <p>It was all worth it as my 4 month old is sleeping on me now. Best of luck :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-able-to-share-an-shg-experience#post-2135315 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 14:14:52 +0000 MaryM 2135315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, after 14 months of not getting pregnant, I'm beginning to slowing dip my toe into IF interventions. My doctor is starting with an sonohysterogram with FemVue next week </p> <p>From what I've googled, it's similar to an HSG, but with saline and bubbles instead of dye. And my doctor can do it in house instead of me having to go to a hospital (which also makes it cheaper)</p> <p>Just to ease my anxiety, I wondered if anyone could share any SHG experiences. </p>
