I'm feeling a bit worried because my wife's been advised to get an HSG X-ray test. Is this something that's complicated? I'm also concerned about whether it might affect her chances of getting pregnant in the future. Could it possibly cause any infections or have side effects?

HSG (Hysterosalpingography) is a common radiology procedure used to evaluate the shape of the uterine cavity and the patency of the fallopian tubes. It involves injecting a contrast dye into the uterus and fallopian tubes while taking X-ray images. The procedure itself is generally safe and well-tolerated, with minimal complexities. It is not known to have a negative impact on future pregnancies. However, like any medical procedure, there are risks of infection or side effects, such as pelvic discomfort, cramping, or a slight risk of allergic reaction to the contrast dye used. These risks are usually minimal and the benefits of the test often outweigh the potential risks. It is important to follow any pre-test instructions provided by the healthcare provider and to inform the medical team of any allergies or medical conditions before undergoing the HSG test.

I'm a bit confused about taking Krimson 35. I finished my pack, and on the 4th or 5th day afterward, I got my period. Should I start taking Krimson on the first day of my period, or do I need to wait for seven days to start again? I'm just trying to make sure I get the timing right.

You should start Krimson 35 on the first day of your period. There's no need to wait for seven days; just begin the new pack as prescribed. If you have concerns, it's always a good idea to confirm with your doctor.
