I got my letter regarding my HyCosy test which I am dreading as I hate internals after the unnecesary ones during miscarriage 2 years ago.
Its an ultrasound screening of the fallopian tubes and they insert a prob and ultrasound scanner up my vagina so it can get close to the tubes. Then they pour a sugar solution containing small bubbles of air using a catheter with a balloon which is inflated inside the uterus (ouch) the balloon seals up the uterus so that when the sugar solution is put in the catheter it can only spill out the fallopian tubes.

If my tubes are normal the scan will show the moving sugar spilling out the ends but if not then my tubes are blocked.

Has anyone had this done and what is the next stage after this?

When is your appointment?

Its good you are getting somewhere though I'm not up on details but I'm pretty sure IVF is an option.

Ok I Googled & found the follwing:

Also found:

If the tube is blocked or if the pressure is high, we then pass down another very fine guidewire and catheter which effectively unblocks the tube.

What is the success rate of the treatment?
This will depend on many factors such as age, duration of infertility, any other problems etc. In approximately 80% of couples we are able to open up at least one tube, and those patients would have a one in three chance of conceiving naturally, conceiving within six months on the whole of the procedure being performed.

Thanks Wobbles

At least I now know what to expect

I got the letter friday so will ring up to make an appointment tomorrow. it said not to have unprotected sex before appointment and we did last night but I dont think I will be seen until after christmas as I spoke to the secretary to trace my appointment and she told me january. hope its not on my birthday 8th january!

You want to ask how long before appointment should you be unprotected because if you are like us we just don't like condoms for a temp. solution & the pill was a no no!!

Well i booked my scan for 4th january. it says to not have unprotected sex after your period up to day 12 so if i dont get my period this month then i wont have it done incase im pregnant. x

Good luck hunny - Time she fly its not that long away
