Hycosy or HSG??? There is plenty of HOPE!!!!

[dreamqueen]

Hi Ladies
If any of you are awaiting a hycosy or hsg test then i hope my story will fill you with hope.
I had been TTC for 13 years following a mc in feb 98. Nothing....not a sniff of a bfp! Had all the normal bloodwork done and dhs sa's done. Everything came back great....i was ovulating, sperm count was fab.....it just didnt make sense! In my mind i knew that the only other reason possible for no conception was a blockage or damage to the tubes! I had my hycosy on the 23rd of June. They only saw dye going through one tube! Havent a clue whats wrong with the other one, but it took them a bit of time to get the dye through the open tube, but they did and i truly believe it had been blocked before the dye passed through! Anyway...i had my fs appointment a few weeks later and they wanted to do a laparoscopy to find out exactly whats going on before i got put on waiting list for ivf! But...i was told i would need to lose weight 1st!
Depressed and demotivated i went on and thought its gonna be YEARS before i ever get the chance to have a
Anyways.....this past cycle i only had sex once so knew there was no chance of bfp! But my boobs where sore...they arent normally, and i had cramping for a few days like af was already here!!! I also went OFF chocolate which was strange for!! I decided to test anyway and when i checked the test and it said PREGNANT 2-3 i was soooo shocked!!! How could this be??? I only dtd once!!!!
I am delighted and over the moon and realise how extremelly lucky i am! I KNOW without a doubt that it was the hycosy that cleared the way for my bfp!! I am so grateful! I used to google to see if it was true and if a hycosy could result in pregnancy and i read conflicting information, i read that there was no proof! But ladies......please be happy and keep hope in your heart cos i AM PROOF that this procedure really can help you get your dream! I wish you all luck and a bfp real soon!!!

Congratulations, That is great news. I had a HSG done today, so fingers crossed it has helped to clear the way for BFP as well. Hope you have a very happy 9 months

Big cOngrats to u! Fab news.

I also had my hcosy this month and was a bit worried as we've only had sex once this month at ovulation time, so u have given me lots of hope! Lots of women get preg after this procedure.

Wishing u a happy pregnancy xx

Thank you so much for the Hope! And Congrats!!!

I scheduled my HSG today and have the follow up to begin the IUI process two weeks later. I had already given up hope for this month but this has renewed my hope.

Thanks

Congrats on your BFP!

I had the HSG last month - no BFP - this is the second month off and my doctor said increased chance of BFP for 3 months after.

BUT my real reason for responding is my absolute FAVORITE success stories are the ones that only once, because every TWW I always have an endless cycle spinning through my head of "we didn't enough, we missed X day, we should have more... we haven't gotten a BFP before having better timed and this month we only had 1 or 2 good timed " ... that's probably the thing I fret about most with all this TTC is timing BDing. I usually O CD 16, and we were doing AWESOME every other day BDing, until like CD 18 then we tapered off, and it was like once every 3 days and I Od CD 21 so we only had 1 good try the day OF O and then like 3 or 4 days before . So thanks, for helping me maintain hope that maybe that's enough

What is hycosy? Or what is the diff between that and lap and dye??

BTW big, huge congratulations, I love to hear something work for a LTTCer

 

[twinkle1975]

[wifey29]

That's amazing, massive congratulations xx

 

[dreamqueen]

Thankyou ladies

I hope to see all your bfps soon!

What is hycosy? Or what is the diff between that and lap and dye??

Thanks Cooch. A hycosy is when dye is put through your tubes to check they are patent...it is done whilst awake...and an ultrasound is used to view the tubes, ovaries and uterus!
A lap and dye is done under general anastheatic and is a small keyhole operation where they view the tubes and put dye through. Its a more serious op, but much more thorough, and they can repair tubes, endo etc whilst they are performing the op

 

[cooch]

Thanks dramaqueen. I'm currently on waiting list for for lap and dye. Basically they want to be thorough and if there is endo I have asked it to be dealt with there and then. I don't see the point in a diagnosis then another op to sort it, so that's what's happening. But, you never know I could have a bun in my oven before the op comes through

 

[dreamqueen]

Oooh cooch! Exciting stuff! My hycosy revealed that 1 tube is possibly blocked, so they wanted to do a lap n dye so they could see exactly whats going on, but they wanted me to lose weight 1st! And bingo......BFP while i was waiting!
Im confident that you too will get your bfp!
its so hard not having answers though isnt it? I hated the feeling of being in limbo! At least when you know then you have something to work with! Good luck xx

 

[MrsHY]

Thanks for sharing your story dreamqueen!

For you and the other ladies that have had a HSG - how painful was it? I've been offered one next month and I'm absolutely terrified. xx

 

[dreamqueen]

Hi
Dont be scared.....ive never heard anyone say its too bad
I will tell you what it was like for me....
I had been wary of the pain when they inserted the dye! But i never felt a thing at that point.
My only issue was that they couldnt find the neck of my womb to insert the cathetor and they had to use a clamp tp grab it
It was very uincomfortable!!! BUT dont let that put you off cos ive never heard of anyone else having the same issue. It really could help you realise your dream
Before i had my hycosy done i posted on someone elses thread and a few girls wrote ot their experiences there....i will find the link and post it here for you to read! Most girls never really felt much at all!
