HSG, or hysterosalpingography, typically causes mild cramping and spotting for a day or two after the procedure. Some women report more intense pain, requiring over-the-counter pain relief. Rarely, infection can occur; seek immediate medical attention if you experience fever or severe pelvic pain.
Clomid Side Effects
Clomid, a fertility drug, can cause side effects such as hot flashes, mood swings, bloating, and headaches. These are usually manageable and subside once you stop taking the medication. Less common, but potentially serious, side effects include ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), which involves enlarged ovaries and fluid buildup. OHSS symptoms range from mild discomfort to severe pain and require immediate medical attention. Multiple pregnancies are also a possibility with Clomid; discuss your concerns with your doctor.
Managing Side Effects
Your doctor can provide advice on managing side effects. Simple measures like over-the-counter pain relievers for cramping or heat packs for hot flashes can help. Open communication with your doctor is key for addressing any concerns you may have during or after treatment.
