Blocked Tube

On Thursday, April 22, 1999 I had an HSG performed to determine if both my fallopian tubes were open. This is my second HSG. On my first HSG both tubes spilled and filled just fine. However, after the birth of a baby my second HSG didn't go as well. My left tube did not fill at all. I already have to use Pergonal to ovulate and I am wondering how this will affect my chances to become pregnant the second time. Also, what caused this? Could it be scar tissue from a C-section? Help.

Dear Dana:
Fertility remains high is one fallopian tube is open and normal.
Fallopian tube non-fill on HSG can be technical failure (the dye ran more easily into the other tube, just as water spilled on a table does not run equally off all sides), tubal spasm, or true blockage. True blockage can occur from surgical procedures on the uterus or from infection in the postpartum interval.
