Which one is more uncomfortable?

FertilityPlus: Invasive Infertility Tests FAQ
I understood that it is different for each woman (both EMB and HSG). For some EMB is very painful and HSG is hardly felt, for others it is the other way around. For me, the EMB felt like one cramp (short, not nice but not to bad either) and I was fine afterwards. For the HSG I took a painkiller (I asked my RE for one). They use a different sort of speculum, a tiny bit more uncomfortable than the normal one (it is more like a circle than a duck's beak).
