Quite simply, this procedure is humbling. If you are going to get this done, google the procedure name and use the advanced fertility sit and webmd site. The advanced fertility website will give a good idea of what to look for during the procedure. I studied the images before my appointment which gave me the knowledge to identify on my own that my fallopian tubes were clogged. The webmd site is excellent for describing the procedure. The most important thing is to take a vicodin or a strong dose of advil to help you and your body relax.
After the procedure I cramped pretty severely and had some spotting for a couple of hours. It took a couple of days for my body to recover from being so tense during the procedure. It's important to note that the radiologist expects all symptoms to get better and if they get worse through the day then the office should be called or visit the emergency room.
There is an art to scheduling the appointment which is described on the webmd site but it's crucial to make it after your cycle ends but before you ovulate. They will not perform the procedure if you have any spotting as the tissue can possibly get stuck in the fallopian tubes causing endometrosis - this I know because my first appointment was cancelled due to spotting.
My best advice is to be brave and know the data you receive from the test will outweigh the procedure's invasiveness.
