HyCosy - much better than I had anticipated

Just as above says, I had a HyCosy done and I was sooo anxious about the procedure. I know there are lots of variables that mean every experience is different but just wanted to write this post incase anyone is about to have the scan and is going through the same anxieties as I was. I was endlessly scrolling forums and panicking to no end that I was going to really struggle, but my experience was really positive.

It was slightly uncomfortable at most, although my tubes were clear and I understand that it can sometimes be more uncomfortable if there is a blockage, but on the whole it was nowhere near as bad as I was expecting. Take some painkillers if you can, but I was in and out in less than half an hour and am planning to go to a gym class this evening!

baby dust to all ✨

I think it's good to report all experiences, I was anxious when I had mine too but it was honestly no big deal, a moment of minor discomfort at worst and I walked back home after.

Best of luck OP and hope the post-HyCoSy fertility boost comes for you (as it did for me)!

Agreed, had driven myself mad with anxiety about it!

Thank you so much! If you don’t mind me asking, how long had you been trying? I’m not getting my hopes up, hubby has a low count and low morphology so we’re looking at ICSI in the new year! Xx

So happy to see this post, thank you for sharing! I have mine this afternoon and I've been so worried looking online and hearing how painful it can be.

Really pleased to hear yours went well x

I had my HyCoSy on Cycle 10, and I conceived in Cycle 11. Preliminary tests hadn't shown anything specific amiss with either of us, and my tubes were clear when they flushed them so that wasn't an issue either.

Best of luck!
