This study, called The HEAT Study, is looking at ways to make the hysterosalpingogram (HSG) procedure more comfortable for women experiencing infertility. An HSG is an X-ray test that checks if your fallopian tubes are open. Sometimes, the dye used in the HSG can cause cramping and make it seem like your tubes are blocked when they aren't. This study will compare using warmed HSG contrast (dye) versus room temperature contrast to see if warmed contrast reduces pain. We are looking for women aged 18-45 who are having an HSG as part of their fertility evaluation. The main goal is to measure your pain level one hour after the HSG procedure. This study is currently recruiting about 240 participants.
