Having an HSG next week, can I take???

Having HSG next week. I was wondering if it would be okay to take some xanax or percocet before the procedure. The doc said to take 3 Advil but I'm very nervous and scared, would it be alright?
If so, which one would be better?
Thanks

I agree with USUK. I already had two of them & they really are not that bad just alittle uncomfortable.  Don't let people scare you!!

it is not that bad. you should be given doxycycline too, like the day before and 2 days after - in order to prevent infection. so with the doxy and the 3 advil, i would not want to take anything else. it is a weird/awkward procedure but it is not much worse than having a longer than usual exam/pap smear. you'll feel better if you are coherent and can understand what they are doing. they explain along the way and tell you what looks good/is normal as they go.

I would ask the doctor about it.  When I had mine, I was told that Tylenol or another similar drug would be okay.
