I had my Sonohysterogram today. I'd already done quite a bit of reading before I went in, and from everything I've read, most just feel slight cramping.
I took 2 tylenols before going. It was quick, I was in an out within 15 minutes!
The procedure itself wasn't painful. In fact, I've had papsmears more painful than the sono. Even now, about 5 hours later, I have really minor cramps that are easily taken care of with tylenol. My AF cramps are 100 time worse than this.
As soon as my RE got a look, she said "you have a gorgeous uterus!"
There's clearly no such think as an awkward moment when TTC, so I thanked her. I asked her if she saw any fibroids or anything else and she said no.
She said that she can see both tubes are open.
I'm a bit confused here because I thought that only an HSG (Hysterosalpingogram) could determine blocked or open tubes.
They have you in and out of there within 5 - 10 minutes, so there really isn't much time to ask questions. I have an appointment with my RE to discuss my sono and first month of cycle monitoring in a month, so I'll ask her those questions then.
I want to request that she do a HSG to make sure I have no blockage, but I don't know if this is overkill. I just want to make sure that we leave no stone unturned.
I've heard people say the HSG is a lot more painful, but honestly, I'll take the pain to discover why my gorgeous uterus has no baby in it.
If anyone is reading and knows the answer to this, can you determine if tubes are blocked through a sono?
