Hi,
I have never had a HSG done.... so I don't know if what you describe is
normal. However, it does not sound right.... if the pain and bleeding
isn't resolved quickly I would contact your doctor - actually you should
probably contact her anyway (no harm in asking - right? :-)). Worse
thing in the world would be to have an infection but not realise it -
and that could cause real damage. Having sex right after the HSG could
be a risk for infection - I would guess - but really don't know.
Best wishes
