Hey mate,

That is really horrible news and it is very similar to my story, I hope you don't mind me sharing. I had endo and blocked tubes which I had some corrective surgery on. The endo was removed and the tubes "unblocked". My fertility specialist told me that in his experience, no matter how much you unblock tubes, they tend to close up again. He seems to be right on that because I had another HSG 6 months after the first one and my tubes had indeed blocked up again (this was last year).

So we decided to try some fertility treatments. I had one IUI which I responded well to, but was obviously a BFN because of the blocked tubes. I don't regret doing that one little bit because it totally prepared me for my IVF cycle.

After a discussion early this year with my FS, we agreed that we were ready for IVF and it has worked first time and I am pregnant after 5.5 years of TTC, 3 of those years very actively and with those surgeries in the middle.

I say go for IVF, with blocked tubes it is really a good procedure with the most likely success rates for your situation. I also want to add that I have acupuncture too and this has helped immensely with cycle length, relaxation and other benefits. It's truly the best money I ever spent.

Good luck hun, and I know that this news feels really awful just now, but there are things that can be done. Seeing the IVF people is definitely a good step to take.

Huge hugs

All the best
