How soon after a Hycosy can I have IVF?

Hello 👋

I’m just wondering if there is any delay in having IVF after you’ve had a Hycosy? I’m booked in for one in July and we also would have been trying for two years since July, so we can be referred for IVF at that point. I’m just wondering if in theory we could still have IVF in August? I realise the outcome is IVF if your tubes are blocked or not.

Any advice would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks x

There shouldn't be any delay in IVF im currently in the process of getting HSG dye test to check for blocked tubes and still moving forward with the IUI. Its a simple dye test that wouldn't cause any delay. Im also scheduled for ivf start Aug. 28th if the IUIs are not successful leading up to our August appt.

You can do IVF or IUI after a Hycosy! I was recommended a Hycosy in the same cycle as a medicated IUI. I didn’t do, tried naturally that cycle. But didn’t get pregnant until doing IVF. All the best x

At our follow-up appointment to discuss the hycosy they referred us for IVF straight away. We had our first IVF consult 6 weeks later. Best wishes x

Not sure where you're based but it is not an instant process, it took several months for me to get to treatment stage after initial consultation in the UK and that was paying for private treatment, NHS is a lot longer

Even if you're elsewhere, it takes several weeks for tests, protocols and medications to be organized, and then you have to wait for a particular point in your cycle to start, so the likelihood of starting treatment the month after being referred is low.

Also, it's usually 1 year after trying not 2 years, but again that's for the UK and I'm not sure where you're based

Thank you all. I’m based in Oxfordshire so you have to have been trying for 2 years before IVF and I already have all the up to date tests for IVF (they confirmed this in my last appointment). They also said there is no waiting list for the IVF clinics so I am expecting to be able to have IVF in September, hopefully.

Ah ok, that's a shame because NICE guidelines are after 1 year of trying, but sounds like you've already had all investigations so you're good to go.

IV

Did anyone refuse an IV during labor? If so, did your doc or the hospital try to force it? I’m due May 11 and my doctor is now refusing to deliver my baby because I don’t want an IV. I also don’t want fetal monitoring and he stated I need to do it bc I owe it to my kid. He was fine with it my last appointment and then today he has a huge problem. I also don’t plan on going to the hospital until I am like ready to push. I want to labor at home for as long as possible. I know the reason for the IV. But I’m low risk have had no problems, so there is not a real reason to think something might happen and I might need an IV. I do also want to add that if it becomes medically necessary then of course I will get it. But I don’t want it just because something MIGHT happen.

Mirena coil

Had my mirena coil fitted by my gp in January , the sexual health clinic sent a letter to have one fitted there but the one that my gp fitted i can no longer feel the threads... so im just wondering if i could still attend the appointment at the sexual health clinic and ask for a refit

Pregnancy

I don’t know if it’s my hormones but I really want to have another baby, I don’t know if I sound daft but the second I gave birth I was constantly saying I want more, I don’t know if I just want to relive the days from my baby being a newborn or if I want another child it’s just constantly on my mind, I’ve always said since a child that I wanted 10 babies but I will not be carrying that number out! Maybe 5 🫣

One on one time with each child

Advice please - if you have more than one child, how do you give one on one time to each child? Or how did your mom do this?

I have three and I’ve always thought time should be spent together as a family but I’ve been told that not giving one on one attention to each child can cause resentment.

I’m wondering how I can do this?
Do you take one child to the mall and leave the others at home?

Anyone else’s children in foster care?

Mamas need some more support for their kiddos in foster care! I’d love to connect and have people who can understand.

Trigger shot

So i’m 11 days past trigger shot 9dpo.
Do we think this is real or the trigger lingering? 😭I tested Wednesday night and it was pretty much negative from trigger
