Hi

Is IVF only the treatment recommended for Blocked tubes.I just had an appointment with doctor,she told that I need to go for a Laproscopy to find if there is any blocks.I am really worried.She told if any blocks are found it is good to go for IVF rather than trying IUI.

Pls anyone help me if there is any other option

i also have blocked tubes and it was diagnosed thru HSSG and laparoscopy. . iam sorry but i think our only resort to get pregnant in thru IVF . . .

Hi there - if they found both tubes to be blocked then yes IVF is your best go. If they found one blocked you could try IUI with injectables and hope for follicles on your good side. However its really a tricky process to try and get follicles on your good side and you could have several cycles waiting for it.

I have one blocked tube and IUIs didnt work for me (i had 3) and I have moved onto IVF.

Best wishes for a bfp!

Yep, I have had 3 ectopic pregnancies, so now, no more tubes, if they were even partially to unblock them you would run a high risk of having an ectopic, and trust me , not only is it life threatening, immediate surgery, and super painful, it takes a toll on your psychi. . IVf is it, but look at it this way you have good, eggs , and alot of them and there is no reason you couldn't have a successful IVF. Good luck to ya!!
