Finally got my HyCoSy after waiting nearly 5 months for an appointment! I was pretty relaxed about it and read the notes they had given me and it sounded like a simple procedure enough. The speculum and catheter was a bit uncomfortable and gave me crampy feelings but nothing difficult but when they injected the dye, I felt a sudden painful pressure (far more painful than the period pains as described!) and nearly fainted! Annoyingly they had to stop so I never did find out if my tubes were blocked. There was a trainee doctor there and the FS mentioned it's not unusual for patients to go into shock when they have this done! Trust me to be one of those patients! Now I'm having to be referred for a laparoscopy. FS says the pain doesn't necessarily mean blocked tubes but he will flush them out when I have the op, which makes me wonder if they are blocked, as it seems excessive to go for a GA to find out my tubes are fine? Doing some research online, there are mixed messages about whether pain is related to blocked Fallopian tubes or even endometriosis. Just wondered if anyone had similar experiences and got answers at the laparoscopy?
