My story... one blocked tube...
Ok girls, here's my story... I've never posted on this site, but have been stalking it for quite sometime. I'm VERY sad and just wanted to share. None of my close friends seem to understand, because they've all conceived successfully within a few months. I feel I have NO ONE to talk to about this, besides my husband. --- I'm 31 and my husband (who's 33) and I have been TTC for going on 15 months. After a year of continual disappointment, I finally had an HSG done on the 10th of January, only to be even more disappointed. I have a blocked fallopian tube (left side). My OBGYN suggests that we just keep trying for at least another 6-8 months. He says my chances of conceiving with only one tube within 2 years is 90%. Has anyone else ever been told this? He did suggest we get a second opinion and I do have an appt with a specialist next Wednesday. My husband only wants to wait about 3 more months (b/c of the increased fertility after HSG) and if it hasn't happened by then, he wants to go the IUI route. I don't know much about the IUI's, but what I do know, is that my insurance doesn't cover infertility! We're already out $1700 for the HSG! I've been very depressed and need someone to give me a little ray of hope/advice. Currently on CD 8. I ovulate fine. Progesterone is fine. Husband's little guys are fine. Only problem that I know of - my one tube. This sux. You guys seem to do a pretty good job of keeping each other sane. It's been great reading everyone's stories, so I just wanted to share.
That was beautiful!!!! I liked that and I believe as well God has closed my womb as well :(
Correction- Elkanah was Hannah and Pinninah's husband.... Samuel was Hannah's son...
Hey all.. I'm reading these post And realizing that sharing my story is a therapeutic gesture. So here it goes.. After I got married in 07, I became pregnant 4 months later... Found out it was ectopic and opted to take methothrexate b/c I was not sold on removing my tube at 27... So the next year I found out I was pregnant again maybe a month to date of my last preg and had a miscarriage after 5 weeks... The following year 2009, I found out that I was preg again about 10 days apart from d first time and this time in the
same tube and the tube (rt tube)exploded.. Had c section surgery to remove tube and was seriously devasted... I went through a phase of hating the whole idea of having children And wondering y God was punishing me.. It's coming around that time again and I'm a little nervous... I'm now wondering will I get pregnant again... I realized I will but I have to get me right mentally and physically... I am pretty opposed to IVF, sarrogate and all of that b/c if I can't have it naturally i'll do without... I haven't went to get a HSG as yet bcz I'm not mentally ready... I'll try accupuncture etc and let it all b a natural hollistic experience... I have one tube married and hopeful... God blesses us when we are ready to receive our blessing... If u are spiritually guided be reminded of d story of Hannah in d book
of 1Samuel... God closed her womb and allowed Pinninah, Samuels other wife to conceive as she may... Hannah was deeply grieved and begged and prayed for a son... According to d teaching God was trying to create a desire for
more than just a child but for a blessing; a king; a prodigy of sorts.... I believe we will be the mothers of children like Samuel if we trust God and dedicate our lives and children to his teachings.... Wow this was heavy for me
bcuz I have never as much as tried to
post anything on any blog EVER... God bless
and I can't wait to read ur success story....
Truly Blessed..

Hi I ve never posted on here either but just wanted to say you should get your ovarian reserve tests done. I have one blocked tube too the right side and was told pretty much the same as you and although everyone is different and you will probably have fab ovaries , i have slightly demiiished capacity which basicly means that i have fewer eggs left of mixed quality so that coupled with a blocked tube makes it harder still, I would get this hormone test done fsh levels and ovarian reserve not sure what hormone tesat that one is just to make sure, if its just the blocked tube i think you can get pregnant naturally I had to go the ivf way and wasted a year and a half trying naturally because they didn´t do my hormone tests.
best of luck to you lotsof baby dust xx

Firstly i am so pleased that i have found this site, i have been struggling myself with my emotions the last 6 months, and have found it comfort to read through these forums.
I am 24 had an eptopic pregancy 7 months ago and had a very rough time with it, with complications after my laprascope, they saved my tube, but have recently found out after having tiny sensations in my abdomin that my tube has expanded to 10cm and engulfed my ovary, my operation to remove my tube and most probably my ovary next month, my dr was not very hopeful for my fertility. So i have done a lot of research. so i hope i can answer some questions.
1. You can definately get pregnant with one tube
2. it is possible to get pregnant with no tubes, or with a tube and an ovary on the opposite side (obviously tjis doesnt mean it will def happen if this is your circumstance but it has been known)
3. if you have a blocked tube google FELOPIO www.felopio.com i havent used it but i have been told that it can unblock fallopian tubes.
4. I know that here in the UK you are entitled to atleast one round depending on your NHS trust of IVF, so if you are in the UK and you didnt know get yourself on the list. The waiting lists are arranged by yoyur eligibilty, eg smoking, age, wieght (your BMI needs to be below 30) etc.
5. To the lady with the hydrasphlinx, ii had this, and i was offered another laprascope to "flush it out", so it might be worth asking your dr.
Everyone who has had an ectopic probably know that the chances of having another one is increased. After i had my op i was still "pregnant", some of the embryo wa left inside, they gave me methotrexate, i was against this because, your arent allowed to ttc again for sometime after. if i could go back i would have had methotraxte over the op because then atleast i might still have two tubes, and wouldnt be preparing for another op. So f you have the choice if it ever happens to you again, I would take the methetraxate and use the tiem after to relax before trying again
It is difficult to know exact stats, because everyone is different.
Personally i cant imagine my future without children in it, i wanted 5 kids, but now i feel it wll be a miracle if i get 1. to read your success stories really fills me with hope and to those wh have had less success pleasse dont give up, as soon as i have the go ahead after me op i will be try try trying. Good luck xxxxx
PS sorry for the long rambling message!!
