I had an ectopic pregnancy back in March. I had the HSG dye test done and found that both of my tubes were blocked. Now I am on my first cycle of IVF. I would get the test done, if you haven't already.
Hi!
If you were my patient, I would try no matter which side the egg is on! The ovaries and fallopian tubes are very close to each other behind the uterus, and it is not uncommon for the left tube to pick up an egg from the right ovary and vice versa.
I certainly hope that your doctor has recommended a hysterosalpingogram to be certain that at least one of the fallopian tubes is open! If not, get one ASAP. You need to jump right to In Vitro if both tubes are damaged.
You are at risk for ectopic pregnancy no matter which tube gets the egg, so I think your doctor is wasting your time. As long as you are aware of the risks, and will be compliant with follow up should a pregnancy occur.
You may want to just refer yourself to a reproductive endocrinologist.
Good luck!
Dr B
