I have this scheduled next Friday, and I'm a bit nervous...My doc warned me that it may induce cramping. I have horrible cramps normally, so I'm not exactly hoping up and down about this. Has anyone else had this proceedure? How terrible is it?

Hi
don't be nervous, it is not bad at all. Cramping only lasts for seconds and they (nurse and doctor) will tell you when you will feel it, sort of a warning in advance kinda thing. Its not nearly as bad as having an HSG and for some women they breezed right thru that! Good luck at your appointment!

Good luck!! I have not had this, but I have had an HSG.
Lots of prayers!

Piece of cake... I agree with Jade; they'll let you know what's coming and the cramping is very minimal and quick. The speculum is the worst part (but that's just like an annual exam). It's kinda cool when you can see the saline flush through your uterus (sorry if tmi) - kinda like a 'Roto-Rooter' - lol.

You'll do great!

Thanks so much for the comments. It is better to hear from people who've actually had this proceedure, instead of the professionals that haven't experienced personally.

I really appreciate the support!
