Hycosy questions please :)

[Annny27]

Hello - I have booked a hycosy for the end of the month (annoyingly the consultant is away for 2 weeks at easter so can only do it AFTER ovulation so means missing a month)

I will be maybe 8-10dpo depending on if I ovulate as usual, but I can start spotting from 9ish dpo.

My question is can you have a hycosy if you are spotting?

Hopeful post bump!

I would have thought so, I had a follicle count on my period, as you have to have it whilst on your period. I had mine cd2 and that's a similar procedure as in the way they do it with the probe ( I've had 2 hycosys so happy to answer any questions you may have )

But hycosy I think they just don't do it late on in your cycle incase you're pregnant
I'm surprised they do them that late? Do they say to not have unprotected sex then?

Thanks @strawberrysummer19 yep they said dont even have sex this month just incase of pregnancy. But we decided a break of ttc for a month might be good for my stress levels after so long of ttc haha!

Ooh thank you! What painkillers did you take before hand? I know some people say it really hurts and then others say it doesnt

@Annny27 ah I see well at least they aren't not doing it I guess.

I took paracetamol 1 hour before
The first one 10 yrs ago when ttc ( got pregnant that cycle !) I remember feeling uncomfortable but that's because I was so so nervous

2nd one a few months ago ( and since having natural childbirth with no pain relief haha ) it was better and had no uncomfortable feeling
I was more relaxed as I knew what to expect and not much more uncomfortable than a smear I'd say
Just pressure when they ran the dye but no pain
The set up took longer than the procedure itself
I was in and out within 20 mins so that's one way to look at it
Be over before you know it
The build up is worse
I felt sick all day afterwards which I didn't have last time but was gone the next day x
