I had this test to see if my tubes were blocked. I dont remember being numbed at all? They just inserted the catheter and said it would be uncomfortable.

Thanks... She said some docs numb and some don't but if there is a possibility she can unblock by forcing fluid through she will try. I've had iui's before so I don't understand unless she's really thinking there is something going on

I had this done in 2010, it was a little uncomfortable, but bearable.

Did they numb you also?

I did one in 2012. Was told to take a pain killer a few hours before the procedure. I felt it, but it didn't hurt one bit.

Had one done in January no numbing. It was a little uncomfortable but tolerable.

Had one done as well a couple months back. Uncomfortable but not horrible. Was told to take advil before, no numbing.

Thanks... We'll see what she decides to do Thursday. Hopefully it's nothing crazy. :)

Hello Lynn so I’m actually radiology tech who assist the doctors in this procedure . We advise patients to take a little bit of pain killer before procedure . Some patients feel nothing and some feel pain when fluid gets in . But In return we receive so many thank you calls when they have conceived . Don’t be discouraged it’s like a pap but more invasive. I would take some over the counter pain killers to be on the safe side .

Thank you Abbontrack...I hope it goes well and pray for a good outcome!
