did you go to work after your HSG?

I have one scheduled next week at 9am and am debating if I should go to work after it. The test is in Lake Success and I'll have to drive to Shea and catch the 7 to Grand Central.
What do you think? I'm only even considering it because I just started at a new job


p.s. Can I drive? probably a silly question but I was curious since I won't have DH with me Chat Icon

Re: did you go to work after your HSG?

Donna,

first off - i take the 7 to Grand Central every day - where do you work? I'm Lex & 42nd (Chrysler Bldg).

Second - take the day - really. I am so glad I did. I should have taken 2 days. If you dont have any blockage then the HSG wont be too bad (from what I hear) but I had a blocked tube and it was really painful. The whole procedure and after too. I was cramping a lot and spotting, plus the contract leaks out of you too (bring a pad with you).

I could have driven myself home but DH was with me so I didnt have to. Bring Advil/Motrin with you too - and take some before the HSG as well.

Good luck! Dont let me scare you with my HSG...I had a bad time but its not the norm, especially if your tubes are not blocked.

Thanks Kathy!

I think I will take the day, I have a low tolerance for pain so I'll probably find it uncomfortable.
They told me about the Motrin plus I have to go on antibiotics for a few days before & after the test.

I had no idea you worked around here (we're close neighbors - I'm at 40th & Park) - maybe one day the TTC crew can have a NYC happy hour GTG. Chat Icon

I had no blocked tubes and the test was HORRIBLE. I have a high tolerance for pain, had my first baby with no pain meds. I am not trying to scare you but I would take the day off. I wish someone would have prepared me better.

I don't know about the HSG .. BUT I just wanted to wish you Good Luck, Donna!Chat Icon And based on what I've heard from quite a few ladies, I'd cut yourself some slack and just take the day off..

PS: Kathy I didn't konw you worked in the Chrysler Building... I cross your path everyday, since I come into work via Grand Central Chat Icon

I'm right in midtown also ... 7th/51st .. a NYC /Happy Hour GTG would be cool Chat Icon

Re: did you go to work after your HSG?

I actually was OK right after the HSG. I drove myself home and i have two blocked tubes. It didn't start to really bother me until the day after, and my pain lasted for a week which is unusual. I think it was as soon as my painkillers wore off. I took prescription strength Motrin before and after the procedure. My advice is the same as the otehr ladies, take the day off just incase. I know of many women who have returned to work though, and were fine. Actually, I had to babysit for my sister's two kids immediately following the procedure and I was nervous about it, but I did fine. GL!

I took the day off because it was smack in the middle of the day. DH took me out to lunch.
I was a bit crampy afterwards.
