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.
