    I had one in December, a little uncomfortable when they put the speculum in - think thats what it called. but after that it was ok. my doc even made me look at the screen to show me inside my uterus - oh great , thanks  !

    I was advised to have a paracetamol beforehand, they said to rest for the rest of the day, but i was back in work the following day and then out on the Christmas do at night. I had a little bit of cramping but not very much at all and no bleeding. I need a polyp rremoved that they found but they said i will have to have a general for that. I am terrified of that though and had it cancelled once because of blood pressure being up on the day. I ahd the results of the biopsies within 2 weeks and all was clear. it didnt hurt when they did the biopsy either. good luck x

      Can I ask why did you have to have a pre op if you're having it done awake please? I am due a GA for hysteroscopy and no pre op it's confusing lol.the panic is building up now and I know I'm going to end up cancelling through sheer terror of the GA !! X

      and i also thought that myself today....why do a pr-op if im going to be awake....to be honest i think it was a mistake...because at the end of it i had to see another nurse and she said....oh your gynocologist has written down that he want u awake...she went and checked...came back and sed yep ur gonna be awake x

    Thanks for replys everyone....still scared though...it seems some people are ok with it and some are not....so i will just have to bite the bullet and see what happens...in the hope that i am not one of the ones who feel it.....believe me if i do...i think the gynocologist will be getting a reflex kick in the face lol x

      haha, reminds me of when I eventually woke up after my colonoscopy, the woman next to me - a youngish mother actually, told her husband that she wants to have another one as she had such a good deep sleep! What a great attitude!

      Just tell your doctor to give you something to calm your nerves, like Valium and you should sail through without any discomfort.
