I got my letter regarding my HyCosy test which I am dreading as I hate internals after the unnecesary ones during miscarriage 2 years ago.
Its an ultrasound screening of the fallopian tubes and they insert a prob and ultrasound scanner up my vagina so it can get close to the tubes. Then they pour a sugar solution containing small bubbles of air using a catheter with a balloon which is inflated inside the uterus (ouch) the balloon seals up the uterus so that when the sugar solution is put in the catheter it can only spill out the fallopian tubes.
If my tubes are normal the scan will show the moving sugar spilling out the ends but if not then my tubes are blocked.
Has anyone had this done and what is the next stage after this?
