I has a HSG on 9th Aug, it was extremely painful to the point where I almost passed out. The doctor said it was because I have never been pregnant (rub it in then!) and therefore the neck of my womb has never stretched, hence the pain.
I went back to the hospital 2 days later as was bleeding heavily and in pain, they gave me antibiotics for an infection and the bleeding stopped.
Was getting fairly confident about this cycle as had proper ewcm for the first time and my boobs have been huge since ovulation. But this morning it looks like AF is almost here as within minutes of waking I had the most painful cramps I have ever had, but no bleeding yet. I have tested and definitely not pregnant.
I have take painkillers and refusing to get out of the bath, much to hubby's amusement

I really hope the whole AF is not this painful.
On the plus side I get to start clomid this cycle, fingers crossed!
