[quote=Anonymous]After my transvaginal ultrasound showed a polyp, I was scheduled for a hysterosonogram.  I went online to read up on womens' experiences with it and got myself so worked up.  I couldn't believe how some people felt fine while others pass out from the pain.  I had no idea how I would react and I was scared - badly.  I was more frightened of the catheter going through my cervix than I was the cramping, because I've been dealing with terrible cramping anyway.  I took 3 Aleve prior.  I can tell you that the catheter part was completely painless (for me).  I was shocked when they said it was already in.  They used a balloon too, which I'd heard was painful but I felt nothing really.  DEFINITELY not painful.  The saline being injected did cause immediate cramping, which alarmed me because it was so sudden, but it wasn't "pain".  Just some very heavy cramps that subsided once they were done putting the saline in.  I did some deep breathing and that part only lasted maybe 2 minutes.  In short, it wasn't my favorite thing to do but I wouldn't worry if I had to do it again.  Just kind of like an extreme Pap smear.  Please don't do what I did and let anxiety take over.  Honestly, the worrying was far worse than the procedure itself!  [/quote]
