New Diagnosis - Cervical Stenosis?

[HuskyMomWI]

Good afternoon. Turning to you ladies because not sure where else to go. Husband and I have been TTC for 2 years. Just started with bloodwork last month and FSH was a bit high. Attempted an HSG this past week and the Dr couldn't even get the cath in. Says I have severe cervical stenosis. (and HOLY PAINFUL!!!) Have an appt w/her on Monday to discuss a procedure to have things opened up but I have a few concerns.

1. All over the internet it says the HSG should be done after your period. Mine was done within approx 3 hours of my period starting. Literally. Could this lead to a false diagnosis? not sure if the cervix opening changes throughout the cycle. (Is a new, young dr so want to be sure)

2. Anyone have this and have the procedure to open it? What is that like? Any success after treatment?

I am pretty shocked by the diagnosis, was hoping this would just be a test to check off the list. Sad and unsure what to expect.

Didnt want to read and run!

I had one done but Im sure it shouldnt be done while on your period?!
Maybe something you should mention to your Doc? That might have been partly why they had a struggle?

I was told to get HSG right after AF has ended, they won't do it if I was still spotting.
Also they like to do it early on so that it won't affect the egg.

Did you relax the muscles on that area?

I would double check this, i remember reading somewhere that if period blood can get out you can't have this condition? I might be thinking of something else but its a least worth googling it a bit more? Dr's can get things wrong!

definitely didn't relax which probably didn't help. I have an appt to have 'cervical dilation' on friday and another attempt at the HSG next week. I did some more research and it says heavy periods can be a sign and mine are crazy 8/9 days with 3 days of pretty painful cramps.

Hi Ladies

I had my cervical stenosis fixed in July 2011, I got pregnant in November 2011 and now im pregnant again.

I had a lap, dye and dilation done.
basically my surgeon first dilated my cervix and removed the scar tissue, then did a lap to check my reproductive organs and actually watched the dye go through my tubes.

luckily I had no issues and was back TTC the following cycle.

Also I used choose and book and selected a bmi hospital so i had a brilliant private surgeon and only waited 10 weeks instead of 18 weeks with my local nhs hospital

Good Luck

Thanks for the update, Mrs Evans, I had a lap done on Friday under general anaesthetic and they couldn't complete the hysteroscopy and dye as they have said i have cervical stenosis. Not at lot of info out there on this condition so its good news to hear you have had success since...gives me hope!

Don't worry too much about it. The dilation is a simple procedure. As long as that's your only issue pregnancy should be achieved soon enough
