What Causes Abdomen Pain And Thick Brown Stringy Mucus After A HSG?

I had a hsg 4 days ago, I have had some brown discharge and slight achiness in lower stomach, today I went potty and when I wiped I had a thick brown stringy mucus? Iam due to be ovulating now, could that be it or could it be implantation this close to having the hsg?

There are high chances of ascending infections of the genital track after an HSG procedure, that could be the reason for brown discharge. The chemical (Medicine/dye) which is injected in the uterus goes into the abdominal cavity that causes irritation leading to stomach pain.
The mucus during ovulation is thick and doesn't cause stomach ache.
