I'm waiting for my appt to come through for this, fingers crossed and good luck xI’m having a Hycosy transvaginal fallopian scan tomorrow. Heard they’re painful and uncomfortable. Just wondered if anyone else had had one before at the start of fertility investigations/treatment and could tell me what to expect/any tips or advice ?
Mine was really painful, a bit like severe period cramps, but there was nothing unusual when the results came back. I just focused on breathing through it. It doesn't last long, and I thought, hell I'm hoping to go through labour at some point in the future so i can deal with this!I’m having a Hycosy transvaginal fallopian scan tomorrow.

I had one a few years ago, uncomfortable alright but doable at the same time and at least you know its usually a once off. Defo take painkillers before hand if they say you can and have some ready for after, I had some painful cramping after and a bit of a bleed but nothing some women dont experience every month with their period. Best of luck with it, hope it provides some answers for you!I’m having a Hycosy transvaginal fallopian scan tomorrow. Heard they’re painful and uncomfortable.

Yeah or if you do IUI or IVF, hopefully you won't, but you have someone different looking at your vagina every second day of the week but it is still uncomfortable, youre always like gonna have a quick shower now right before my app cos dont want any smells or anything although I'm sure they have seen it all!Thank you everyone for your answers about the Hycosy. I guess it’s luck of the drawer if it’s painful or not. I don’t have a low threshold for pain so just want to prepare really. I’ve been told to take painkillers an hour before so will do that. Im going into it thinking of it like an extreme smear test. I think more than pain for me it’s more the embarrassment of someone looking up therebut like you’ve said about pain - if I get pregnant I best get used to people being down the business end
That's good. So glad it went well for you xxHycosy done. It was uncomfortable and some mild pain (like period pain) but that was it really. I was told that my tubes looked ok and she said everything looks good around there having done the scan. Just got to wait for my consultant to get in touch for an appt for next steps.
Thank you and thanks to everyone for your advice/tips/experience.That's good. So glad it went well for you xx
Sorry to hear that about your marriage. A friend of my family is pursuing it on her own, I believe she’s had 2 IUI that failed and now doing IVF. Incredibly brave and commendable of anyone who doesn’t let not being in a relationship hold them back from being a mum xHello, you may remember me from before when I was asking about what happened at first appointments for treatment. I am in a same sex marriage however that has now broken down
I wondered, has anybody here had IVF/IUInas a single female ?
Great news ! Good luck for for cycleOfficially started our ivf/icsi process finally! Hubby had his surgical sperm retrieval on Wednesday and we have enough frozen for 10 cycles, such a relief
Now just waiting for our next steps, sending love and thoughts to all those still here
I found some of the cheaper tests didn't always work for me. So I tried the clear blue digital ovulation tests and that worked more accurate for me. I would generally tend to have obvious cervical mucus around my ovulation too so I can usually tell by that. But test wise give the digital a go. But also worth speaking to a doctor and maybe asking for day 21 bloods to confirm ovulation. Good luckI wonder would anybody have some advice.. I’ve been using ovulation tests for 3 months and never seen the hormone surge. The first month I thought ok maybe I just missed it by a day but now thinking it’s quite weird. In 3 cycles I’ve never seen the 2 lines. I Usually start testing at about day 9 and test right through to round day 16.
I have a very standard 28 day cycle that sometimes varies by 1-3 days but no more than that usually. I have a regular period every month. Anybody experienced this? Am I just doing something wrong?

Hello, are you just testing once in the day? Sometimes it can be so quick you miss it, I did an unmedicated frozen embryo transfer last year and for this had to do home ovulation testing for the surge. I used the premom ones and also the clearblue digital as I didn’t want to miss it. Did both morning and evening, and it was actually the evening it appeared so I would’ve missed it come the next morning if I hadn’t. Best of luckI wonder would anybody have some advice..

Thankyou! I hadn’t thought of that. Yes only testing once a day so I will try twice a day as well as slightly better tests I think!
