Hi,

This is my first post here. I'm going for a saline sonohystogram to check for uterine polyps or endometrial thickening. Did anyone here ever have this done? Can you tell me what to expect? I'm pretty scared. Will I bleed afterwards? One website I found said yes. I have some pretty tough work assignments about a week afterward (on my feet all day) and need to be able to keep them or I can get sued as I just signed a contract with a client. I bled for weeks after a D&C because supposedly the doc nicked a polyp but didn't remove it. So I'm wondering if the same thing will happen with the sonohystogram. Any advice at all would be so appreciated.

Thanks,
Nornie

Hi Norie. I had the same procedure done about 3 weeks ago. I expected the worst, but it was really not bad at all. It was very quick, actually. It was uncomfortable, but I took 2 tylenols an hour before, and I was fine. I think you'll be fine -- it's really nothing to worry about.

Thank you so much for the reply! I appreciate the words of encouragement.

sorry i didnt see this post sooner... i dont know if you have gone in yet or not, but my experence with the saline sonohystogram was not painful at all... it just felt weird, but no pain before during or after. im sure you will do great. let us know.

Nope, haven't gone yet. Turns out I can't get in till mid-November. So I'm very glad you write - puts my mind at ease since I now have a long wait. Thank you!

You can expect a little discomfort during, and relatively nothing afterward (if you take a couple of tylenol before hand). I had this test last month and it was much, much better than I expected. It isn't my idea of a fun afternoon, but it is completely tolerable. Don't worry!
