PINHOLE CERVIX....HELP!

Hi folks.

I went for the Hycosy test today (check fallopian tube patency) as we have been TTC for over 2 years (one previous naturally conceived child 6 years ago). They thought they saw some right tube on my previous vaginal scan so they warned me the test wouldn't go ahead if they saw a blockage on the repeat scan today.

The sonographer said she could "see what they were taking about on the right" but that it might be a cyst or something.....thoughts?! What does a cyst on the fallopian tube mean?!

She then proceeded to do the dye test (so I was thinking great, can't have a blocked tube then!) but she couldn't insert any type of catheter as she said my cervix is like a pinhole! So I will have to have the dye test and dilatation of then cervix, likely under general anaesthetic.

I was then rushed out the room and told to chase my local fertility clinic who originally referred me for the test, so they can refer for the surgery etc. I've been left with lots of questions and am freaking out a bit as I don't know what this means or what could cause it. Google has given me some scary explanations such as cervical cancer. I'm also worried the waiting list for the dilatation and test could be very long, especially given the impact of COVID, and its been 2 years already. I don't even know if there is any point still TTC in the interim. But then I think that I have regular 3 day periods every 5 weeks so how can my cervical opening be that tiny?

HELP ANYONE! Sad

I can't help you about your cervix but I have a cyst on one tube and was told it's perfectly normal and lots of people have them. There are different types of cysts and some are more of an issue than others but I wouldn't immediately think the worse.

Fingers crossed for you

Hi, I know this is an older post but can I ask what happened regarding your pinhead cervix.
I had my first IVF egg transfer last month which was unsuccessful, they had a very hard time getting past my pinhead cervix and also said I has an acute angle in my uterus. I have a hystoscopy next week and they mentioned maybe dilating my cervix. I've not had my fallopian tubes checked but I keep requesting it, they say if I've had no STD's or surgery there won't be a problem with the tubes. I know that is not actually the case though.

@kivt sorry to hear of your struggles. They couldn't do the hycosy because of my narrow cervix so I was put on the waiting list for cervical dilatation and literally a couple of weeks ago I had the procedure. Cervical dilatation, scope of my uterus and biopsy, daycase procedure.

I'm now booked in for a hycosy in March as hopefully they will be able to get the catheter in now my cervix is dilated.

If I'm honest I'm hoping the dilatation has solved my fertility issues and I'll conceive soon!!
