It's been a few years since I had this done so my memory is foggy, but I'll do my best!

Local or general anesthesia? - General, I was put to sleep.
In a hospital or clinic? - Mine was done by my RE at their facility which is part of a hospital. It's a large facility & was done in a surgical room. The same rooms that I later had IVF procudures done in.
How was your recovery? - From what I remember, I had cramping/bleeding for a couple days, but, overall, it wasn't too bad.
How long did you have to wait to TTC after? I honestly can't remember.
How long were you on pelvic rest after? - Can't remember this either, sorry!
Did you have an HSG or an ultrasound to follow up? I know something was done to follow up on the procedure, but, I can't remember what exactly they did. I want to say it was some sort of ultrasound they did to check the results.

I'm not feeling like I'm being all that hepful. For that, I'm sorry! Over the years there were so many procedures/poking & prodding that it's hard for me to keep it all straight. I do remember that the surgery was fairly easy. Pretty sure I had it done on a Friday so I could lay around a couple days and by Monday, I was as good as new. If you have any other questions, be sure to ask and I'll do my best

I had a diagnostic one. I was awake. I was at my RE's clinic. It wasn't pleasant, but it was short.

Good luck!

@mrs. bird: Hi! I had a hysteroscopy last June in the hospital under general anesthesia. But it was performed by my OBGyn. He thought I just had a polyp but turns out I also had a septate uterus. That was also removed. I had very light bleeding for only about a week after. I found recovery to be easier than the D&C I had for a mmc a few months before the hysteroscopy. I actually was on a plane on vacation a few days later!

I did not have a ultrasound or HSG after, just an appt where the doctor checked my uterus size through my pelvis. He gave me an OK to start ttc right after but we didn't until recently and got pg right away. I don't know if you have had any previous loss but the septate was thought to be the cause of mine. My periods were also less painful after I had the septum removed.

Good luck!

I had a diagnostic one during a lap, so I had general anesthesia in a hospital. I had pain and spotting afterwards, but I also had some Endo removed during the lap, so I can't really say what was from the lap and what was from the hysteroscopy. I wish you the best!

@mrs. bird: so sorry to hear about your loss. I always thought the period pain was "normal" but now I know better! I also have a fibroid so I guess that can contribute. I'm hopeful for you that the hysteroscopy goes well and good luck in your journey!
