HyCoSy

[Strawberry17]

So I got my medication a month ago to take on the morning of my HyCoSy, I booked the day off work, I built it up in my head and got so nervous about it. Felt sick this morning and after waiting for ages, finally got called in for my HyCoSy.

The staff were lovely but the nurse tried for ages to get the catheter (?) in but she couldn’t get it all in properly (I had my eyes closed doing deep breathing so was a bit oblivious to the exact process). The consultant then came in and tried for a while as well. Then he said to me that they couldn’t get it through my cervix and the little balloon kept dislodging. He said it’s not common but it happens. So they couldn’t test my Fallopian tubes or anything. They did an internal scan and he said he couldn’t see anything to cause concern but I feel so disappointed that they couldn’t do it. You know when you build something up for so long, and then it amounts to nothing and it’s such an anticlimax? So frustrating.

So now we have to wait for our letter saying when our first consultant appointment will be, which they said shouldn’t be too long which is good. But I feel so flat today and just generally bleugh.

Been on a strict diet for months now trying to get my BMI down for ivf but I think we’re going to say bugger it and got to the chippy for dinner. Yes I am comfort eating and I don’t care.

Pointless rant I know but just needed to say it to someone!

Onto the next waiting game...

Have they offered you a HSG? Or maybe this might have the same problem.....this was where fluid is passed through the tubes....

We ended up having both as the HSG was inconclusive and then had a Hycosy...fun!

No he didn’t offer me anything else. He just said sometimes they don’t need to worry about it if there’s no major indication there’s something wrong. He said we’ll discuss it properly when I see him for my first consultant appointment. It sounds promising but I’m a paranoid freak so of course I’m worrying!

Haha I know - we were too. I was convinced we would get bad news once we had the inconclusive HSG, but the Hycosy seemed to show it was ok.

I would say if your consultant is not worried at this stage then there is no reason to worry.

I am sure they had a good look around and would have spotted something that they needed to investigate.

Maybe in the future if you need it you could get the HSG...

But relax after that ordeal today! You poor thing!

Oh no! It’s sounds like you have had an awful time if it.

At least the internal scan showed that all looked fine.

I say you should have a chippy and a bit of comfort eating. You deserve it after the day you have had xx
