  Hi Sian
  
  I had mine just before Christmas. I, like you, was a bit anxious after reading all the scare stories but mine didn't hurt. The beginning feels just like a smear (its that speculum thing). I didn't feel the tube go in, nor the dye. The only bit that felt a bit odd was when he asked some bod in the corner to blow the balloon up, but that wasn't painful- just odd. It was over in about a minute. I took Ibuprofen beforehand but needed nothing after. I had odd twinges about 3-4 days after but nothing much. Personally I had to wait for the results in the post, but every hospital seems to be different.
  
  
  
  I was worried that the fact that mine was quick and painless might have indicated a problem, but it turned out clear both sides.
  
  
  
  Don't worry, you'll be fine. I was worried too- I expect thats quite normal. I just prepared myself by thinking "Oh well, its not going to hurt as much as childbirth will so here goes". Seems to have worked for me

  Thank you for the replies, I'm glad you say it's not painful and that it's quick!! I will take some painkillers just in case. I keep thinking I am such a wimp how am I ever going to give birth if I ever manage to get pregnant!
