Been here done this twice. Honestly it is not fun, mine were made worse because of blocked fallopian tubes. My doctor "plunged" them it with the saline both times and that was worse than the main procedure.

Go into it prepared for discomfort, prepare to go to your "happy place" I practiced labour breathing techniques which did help. It also helped that my ob was patient and didn't rush. If I needed a second she'd slow down and let me catch my breath.

I read taking ibuprofen helps so I tried that, don't let the forums fool you. It didn't help. I would also prepare for someone to go with you at least to drive because you may cramp heavy afterwards and not feel up to driving.

My dh was there and that was pretty comforting too! I wish you luck and if you've got any questions, feel free to ask.
