The dreaded HSG is next Wednesday, the 20th, at 8:30 a.m. I was fine with it until my doctor prescribed me a Valium to take because as she put it, "The procedure is uncomfortable and awkward, you might be overly anxious once they start so you need to take the Valium 30 minutes before to calm you down. Someone will need to drive you home." Eh. Not exciting to hear. I've also been told to take 800 mg Ibuprofin. I've never taken a Valium before so I have no idea how I'll feel or react. I just hope this whole thing is as fast as my doctor says it is. Fifteen minutes and I should be out of there with answers! Blocked tubes or clear tubes?? That is the question... wish me luck!

Honestly, I was freaking out about mine... but it wasn't so bad. It was very uncomfortable, but here's what I wish someone had told me... It is very quick. Less than five minutes.
