    I'm truely sorry you are going through all of this.... its such a hard time .. I basically posted the same post as yours in November last year when i had my first Lap/Dye/DNC done and got told both my tubes were blocked from my local GYNO... i honestly couldnt believe it.. it was awful...So anyway i done alot of reading on blocked tubes etc and decided to go for a HSG.... GYNO didnt want me to do this but i finally got a refferal off him so i could get it done..... at the HSG they couldnt get the dye through my tubes either (actually they couldnt even get it to fill my uterus)
    So anyway i decided to go to a FS (which i should have done in the first place as i was already 2+ years TTC) anyway our FS said he'd like us to do another LAP + Hysteroscopy (SP?) so i booked in to have that done and it turned out i didnt have blocked tubes.... actually they were perfect..... i did however have severe endo (which i still have)and no one can figure out how my GYNO missed it as all my organs are stuck together :| ... Apparently while having a lap your tubes can spasm which stops the dye going through your tubes

    Anyway bascially all i wanted to say is that a second opinion is always a fantastic idea.... im not saying that the same thing that happened to me (tubes spasm) happened to you... but i guess you just never know

    Goodluck with your call with Sydney IVF

    I can understand where you are coming from, we were trying when I lived up your way - originally from Armidale and was being fobbed off and told until you have been trying for a certain amount of time, they couldn't do much for me.

    Anyway, have moved now, saw Dr down here and they referred me straight onto a FS in Albury - so glad I went, they put me on clomid for 4 months and then I was referred back - had the Lap/Dye/Hys done the next week - there apparently was "gunk" in my tubes which the dye helped clean out and now have a BFP the first month after.

    I have been told that it can appear that your tubes are blocked but not be and may have a bit of "gunk" in them like me. I would definately be getting a referral and your records sent direct to the Sydney FS that goes to your area. They may give you a different view altogether.

    I was pretty happy with our FS - as he didn't muck around and sorted it out. I was just disappointed that we had tried "naturally" for all that time and the problem was sorted by that op.

    Best of luck.

    I am currently feeling the frustration all you girls have/ahad. Especially you Ninah in the small town business and getting turned away or not investigated then having to wait till the Gyno returns from his holiday and the waiting lists. In a way I am lucky that after 13months ttc we found our problem (blocked tube) we found out because of an ectopic pregnancy and whilst they were removing my tube they found adhesions and endo which I didn't know I had. It is also much worse on the side my tube is then the side with the ectopic and now gone tube. They assume the other tube isn't great but we wont know until I have a HSG to see what its doing which the Gyno is reluctant to do due to the anethetic risk I am. (HSG can't be done here without a GA) I just want to be referred to somewhere that can do it without a GA.
    I have being looking into unblocking blocked tubes which is how I found this thread which doesn't sound like the best option anyway and the risks of another EP in my remaining tube. I am just so frustrated at the moment with all the waiting.

    im so sorry u are going through this. I hope u are able to find someone who can help alot sooner than 2 months! My OB/GYN did the same thing. Except i rang him to see if had ovulated and he said yes and there was nothing more that he could do except if i dont get my period, to come see him... in 4 months time!!! hahahaa not likley.. i went through someone else.

    Hang in there sweety and get researching about what u can do about blocked tubes! which im sure u are already doing
