Hycosy

[Frenchwindows]

What happens if the liquid doesn’t come out of the ends of both tubes? Does it mean I’m infertile?

I think it's considered inconclusive and they will recommend more tests to work out what's going on. Not sure what tests though sorry.

Thank you so much for your reply. I just wasn’t expecting anything to be wrong and feel so lost now.

Does anyone else have any experience of blocked tubes with a hycosy? Do they do surgery to see what’s wrong?

So I would ask whoever did the hycosy if possible. I think you need a hysteroscopy, but I'm not an expert. I needed one for a different reason and I paid in the end, it was £2,000. NHS would have been months. If you want to pay you just find a gynaecologist at a private hospital. There may not be a blockage at all. In terms of what they do, I think it depends what the blockage is, they might be able to clear it or they might just recommend IVF - your fallopian tubes are irrelevant with IVF so no difference if open or closed.

Ah ok, what’s the difference between that and a hycosy?

Well a hysteroscopy is done like minor surgery, it's a camera that goes up into your uterus. But that's only my memory of what they would have done next, I think you'd be better off going back to whoever did the hycosy and asking what the next steps would be. If you're on the NHS I would have thought they'd need to refer you wherever you go next, whether it's further tests (poss hysteroscopy) or straight to IVF. If you can't get in touch with them go to your GP, they should be able to chase it for you.
