Having had my hysteroscopy this morning, I thought I would share my experience as you do read some horror stories. First of all the doctor went through the results of the ultrasound (in my case showed a slight thickening, but he didn't think there was anything to worry about). 

He did a smear test as I was due one. Then onto the main business. I had no local anaesthetic. Just at the point, I thought ooh, not very nice the pain/ache lessened considerably and it was soon all over. He did a biopsy, but thought it was probably my blood thinners that caused the bleeding.

I was waiting for my lift and started to feel a bit hot, so went back in and sat down. I felt a bit light headed for about 20 minutes with slight cramping pains. Sat here an hour after the procedure, I don't feel anything.

I know everyone's different, but unless you really tense up,  i found it quite bearable. 

  • Glad it went well. My experience was pretty similar, but then I've had years of being poked and looked at up there!! I had two miscarriages, the 2 babies stitched in, and 2 babies born!! Got quite used to it all!!!   xxxxx

  • Glad yours went  well Tanglewood.  Mine was very similar really.  I also had a smear first as I was very overdue!  No local anaesthetic used for me either and it was only by chance that I had read on the internet a few days before about taking painkillers before I went so I had done that.  I didn't get any written information as mine was arranged by phone the previous day  I found it was all quite similar to period cramps but bearable.  Afterwards a nurse took me and my daughter into a room and gave us tea and biscuits and we sat there for half an hour or so and she asked if I felt ok and then we went home.
