I would definitely have the HSG done if your doctor recommends it. I had mine done a little over a year ago and while I found it to be quite unpleasant, it's all worth it in the long run. I've seen other women say that the level of discomfort (and for some, down right pain) can vary based on where you are in your cycle when it's done. I had no idea about anything like that when I scheduled mine.. I just got the first available slot. Not to scare you away from doing it, but I have to be honest.. mine hurt like all get out. I was in tears almost the whole time. But the pain only lasts as long as the procedure does (about 10 minutes maybe) and then it fades. I had some light cramping later in the day, but not enough to take anything for it. If I was asked to do one again, I wouldn't hesitate for a minute though. Like the other ladies said, it would be a waste of time, money, and emotions to go through a couple IUI cycles only to then find out that there was a problem with your tubes. Good luck!
