Patient's question:
I got married to my husband last year, and we don't have any children yet. Recently, I had a tubal patency test at the hospital because we want to have a child as soon as possible. I am very eager to get pregnant. Could you please tell me how long after the tubal patency test should I expect to get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Generally, after undergoing tubal irrigation, it is recommended to wait for a complete menstrual cycle to recover before attempting pregnancy. This is because tubal irrigation typically uses iodine solution, which is quickly metabolized after entering the fallopian tubes. However, to reduce the risk of complications, it is still advisable to wait for a complete normal menstrual cycle before attempting to conceive.
