Hi there I have had mine done today after having a bleed after having no periods for 16 months. Please don't read all horror stories like I did, you will frighten yourself to death, its honestly not that bad.when  I arrived I had a meeting with a lovely lady who carried out my procedure.  They show you a diagram and explain the procedure and anything that could go wrong  very small chance of it happening  and you sign a consent form. I then went into treatment room and into the chair I wore a long skirt which I kept on just pulled it up with sheet over after removing underwear. I was offered local anesthetic  which if you can do have ,I had 2 injections in cervix area hardly felt a thing like a little sting. I couldn't really see what was happening a thin tube like thing is passed up inside was a little uncomfortable but nothing horrible they put some liquid in to help with procedure which felt fine.There is a monitor and you see all inside what the doctor can see,it was quite fascinating she explained everything she was seeing,you done have to look if you don't want. The whole thing took about ten minutes it honestly wasn't that bad. Make sure you take painkillers an hour before, and take a pad as you bleed slightly afterwards. I was discharged everything was fine ,I feel a bit crapmy like when you have a period but apart from that fine. I Hope this helps and hope everything goes well for you.
