One Week Post HSG Test Day

It's been a little over a week since I had the HSG test done. For about two days after the test I was definitely feeling cramp-y and still had some discomfort. It wasn't until Thursday when I was feeling no pain.
They say it's normal to have some pain for a few days after as long as it feels "manageable" by taking an over the counter pain medicine. Ibuprofen became my best friend for those three days for sure.

The Doctor had told my husband and I that sometimes you may not have blockage in your fallopian tubes, but the HSG could "flush out" your system. Which, he said, could be all some women need in order to get pregnant.
I had done some reading online in different pregnancy forums and found that there were so many women posting about how they got pregnant almost immediately after the procedure. I didn't want to get my hopes up because what about all the women who weren't posting about NOT getting pregnant right after? So I took this with a grain of salt, trying not to get high hopes.
My husband, however, thought this could be the answer we needed. Our Doctor told us to schedule a follow up appointment so we could go over our next steps and options. But, as soon as we left the surgery center, my husband said that he thought maybe we should wait to make the appointment and just see if this would work like he said it might.

So right now I'm going to wait and see what happens for a few weeks.
