I found this information which says the patient can drive within 2 hours of the procedure.

I drove home after mine, no problem. My DH, who was supposed to go with me, was late so I took myself. Driving was not an issue as the procedure required no sedation or anesthesia.

Re: Can I drive myself home?

Hi N2Recovery,

Yes, it should be fine! I drove myself home.

For me, the procedure was no different than a pap test.

I rallied myself up with the catheter, thinking Oh my!

Honestly, the cramping from the saline feels like a slight period cramp and lasts only until the radiologists removes the saline. He will probably tell you as hes taking pictures, it'll be out in one minute & it will. Thats the extent of it. A mild period cramping for a minute.

Im saying this even though the radiologist who did mine fanagled around for 20 minutes inside me because I have a retroverted uterus & he couldnt find my cervix & it still wasnt bad.

Nothing to stress over.

I hope all other ladies had the same experience....I had two & both were simple.

GL! :-)
