Hysteroscopy and HSG on anesthesia

Anonymous
Are there any doctors in this area who would agree to do hysteroscopy and HSG using anesthesia?

I am trying to remember but I actually think I had anesthesia. They called it twilight or something like that but I was OUT. I counted back to 8 and was out. Woke up babbling and incoherent. So I was out but I think they called it something less than full blown anesthesia--probably because it was very short. Shady Grove Fertility.

OP here. By anesthesia I mean something similar to twilight. Similar to what they use for egg retrieval.

Hysteroscopy is done with twilight at SG. Thought this was always the case? No need for anthesia for HSG. Take Ibprofin.

I've had two HSG's at SGF. No anesthesia.

OP here. I have had 2 HSG without anesthesia and both were awful. I had taken painkillers prior to HSG.

My HSGs at SG have had no anesthesia, and both were fine.

My hysteroscopy at SG was with twilight, same as I got for my egg retrieval. I have a friend who did it without anything and man she said it was horrible.

I had the same experience with my first HSG at SGF. The RE who performed the procedure suggested that, if I need to go through an HSG again, I could do it under "light sedation", which I assume would be similar to what I had for egg retrieval. If I need to go through it again, that's my plan. I know some women have no issues with the HSG; I wish I was one of them. Unfortunately I have a tricky cervix, and it was a horrible morning for me.

I would push for it based on your history. My first HSG, even with Valium, was worse than the time I broke a leg.

I had mine a few months back and it was awful, really really awful. If I ever have to do it again, I'll def ask for something.
