I feel very sorry about your experience. However having had to go this procedure recently I felt absolutely petrified having only being able to read about horror stories online. I’d like to reassure others going for the procedure that mine was manageable. I expressed my concerns to the hospital staff who reassured me we could stop at anytime but if I could breathe through the procedure it was possible for me to manage and a lot of women can do this. They did say gas and air could be an option. They said I might feel a sudden pain when they entered the cervix but I didn’t. I appreciated them guiding me though and having the heads up. When the hysteroscope was in the upper area that’s when I had to focus on my breathing but I didn’t need pain relief. I took 2 paracetamol an hour before. It was like a labour pain but it was manageable. It was like a cramping pain rather than a sharp pain so I could cope. It was quickly over with hardly any bleeding. A little cramping after but felt ok. The recovery was quick which is surely much better than having an epidural or being put to sleep. They reassured me that after the investigation I had no signs to worry about so I felt really happy to have been fully checked out. Please make your own judgement the doctor and nurses will guide you 👍🏻
