Do I still need HYCOSY?

[helz879]

TW: Miscarriage. I fell pregnant in March this year but sadly had an early loss. I had been booked for a HYCOSY beforehand, but the pregnancy meant it was postponed. We continued trying up until August, then took a break. I’m now feeling ready to start trying again and I’m wondering whether I still need to go ahead with the HYCOSY, given that I did manage to conceive before. Is it still recommended or helpful to have it done?
Thanks so much for any advice 💖

A HyCoSy can check your tubes are clear and for blockages so I do think it’s beneficial to have for peace of mind. I had an ectopic pregnancy which naturally miscarried so I really wanted to have my tubes checked in case there was an issue. Thankfully not but it was reassuring. Hopefully you won’t have any issues conceiving again and hoping your next pregnancy is wonderful but if you did need any help with getting pregnant they would insist on a Hycosy before you have any fertility treatment so probably best to “get it out the way” xx

I would. Can help increase fertility chances too 3 months after having it done

I'm sorry for your loss It really depends on your circumstances OP:
Why were you offered if before even getting pregnant?

If it took you years to conceive, if you are over about 32, known other gynae issues like PID/endo then yes, I'd have it done.

If you are younger, took only a few months to conceive, have no gynae issues and paying privately then I'd consider TTC again first, but its really depends on so many factors.
