Both my tubes are blocked.  You can do something called a laparoscopy & hysteroscopy to see if your doctor can try to clean them out.  I had this done but unfortunately the damage was too much.  My insurance ended up covering that.  I did have to get both tubes "clamped" so that when dh and I did our ivf cycle the embryo wouldn't get caught in the tube.  This cost $8000 and we had to pay for that out of pocket.  I used to have exruciating pain until they blocked my tubes, among other many problems.  I hope your not in alot of pain.  Good luck to you!
