New here: had HSG, found 1 blocked tube -- what next???

by EmmyBee, Dec 26, 2006 12:00AM
Hi Ladies,
I am new here. I have been TTC for 2 years, had 1 m/c last year. I am on Clomid now (3rd cycle) and just had an HSG last week. It showed that one of my tubes was perfect and open, but the other-- well, the tube itself filled up but the dye didn't spill over. Haven't talked to my doc about this yet, but wanted to know if you guys knew anything about this. What, if anything, is done about a blocked tube? I am getting discouraged -- Christmas (being around my sisters kids, both sisters pregnant on top of that) was really hard.
So . . . what next?
Thanks for your advice!

Most likely, your doctor will do laparoscopy and either repair the tube or remove it.

You can get pregnant with one open tube!

I just had my HSg today as well and my dr said that plenty women still get preg with only one tube. I'm still trying so good luck to you!

you know my best friend lost her tube from a tubal pregnancy and I asked her what her doctor said about if she can only get pregnant every other month and the doc told her that it didn't matter what side she ovulated out of that the fertillized egg can find its way to the good/other tube!  I have also read that the fallopian tube has suction to it, so that probably explains that!  Anyhow, she got pregnant really fast but mc and then pregnant fast again and is expecting to deliver any day!!!!  She was 3cm to her shock and amazement last friday!  She isn't due until 10/30!  Good luck to you!!!

You can get pregnant with one tube.Plenty of woman experience this.
I had my HSG done 1 1/2 year ago and since my left tube was blocked my RE decided to do a laparascopy before even try with Clomid since he said that the fluid coming from the blocke tube to the uterus can make it difficult to the embryo to implant.
If you have only a blocked tube without fluid you might want to ask your docwhat to do.

Good luck and welcome to the forum!!
