Blocked Fallopian tube

I had an HSG done and it shows one fallopian tube is blocked and one is fine. I am 34 and I will be trying to have kids in the next few months. I am worried that my chances are very slim now due to age and one blocked tube. I read that if you ovulate on the side that is blocked you will never get pregnant. The Xray tech did not tell me that it was blocked, he just stated that it is not letting dye go through and he will have to do a Selective HSG to maybe see why....I am waiting for my doctor to explain the results. I read on-line that if you try to have tubal surgery it might cause damage to the other fallopian tube! Also, that you can only get pregnant every other month due to one blocked tube. I want to know by how much percentage does it increase your chances of getting pregnant if both fallopian tubes are open? I don't want to do surgery if its not worth it but I also don't want to wait 1yr to get pregnant.
Please help...not sure what to do!

i had an HSG test done in july, it came back that my tubes were blocked. My doctor wasted no time in scheduling a lap to get them unblocked. He prepared me for the worst saying that he might have to take both of them out because i was showing i had a hydrosplinx on the left side. When he went in to investigate and repair it, the only thing that was wrong was that my bowels had attached itself to them. When he separated the two, my tubes were perfectly fine! I hope all goes well for you and you have a baby!

I had the HSG done yesterday...and it was very very uncomfortable for me.  I wasn't expecting that much pain, but my left tube was blocked and the doc had to force it open with the saline. It was worth the few minutes of pain, but it was definitely intense cramping. I took motrin an hour and a half before- wish I took more! I ended up taking some more a few hours later. It's worth the discomfort, especially if you have blocked tubes...hopefully this will allow me to get pregnant now! It might not be bad for you if your tubes are open though...Good luck!

I have been TTC for a year. I had my HSG done a week ago. The saline solution didnt pass through my fallopian tube as it bubble up.  During the procedure, the pain is like period pain, probably a bit more painful than that. The doctor cannot confirm if my fallopian tube is blocked or not. I got discharge (light period) for a few days after the HSG. I am going to see a reproductive specialist in december for a second opinion. I hope for the best for you rose as well as for my self.

My husband and I have been ttc for about 2 years and I've had 2 m/c in the past year. All my blood work has come back okay and now they want me to have a HSG test done. Can anyone give me some feedback on how painful it is or isn't? Thanks!!
