i need help

I went to the doctor about bad abdominal pain. I went for blood tests and my white blood cells were high, so I went for a ultrasound and it looked my like appendix or my Fallopian tube but they couldn't tell which one. So I was sent off for at CT scan and my appendix was fine it was my fallobion tube. She called me and said my fallobion tube was inflammed. what does that mean? then she called back again saying it will take 6 months to heal. What does that mean? I need help she never told me why it was inflammed any suggestions?

That sounds like a adhesion or PID I would go for a second opion and they should do an Ultrasound. an infection in tube is serious. My Dr set off a chain reaction that put me right with you fever pain and my WBC was 20k I was hospitalized for 6 days in IV antibotics to reduce inflamation followed by 3 weeks of pills then a Lap to diag which showed sticky clubed for the blown adhesion/cyst and turn quickly to a partial hysto. So I would not wait or play games. Find out exactly what your WBC was . left unmedicayted and too high can quickly lead to Sepsis and possible death. I dont mean to scare you but you could be sitting on a big issue that will only be better the faster it is resolved.

No she did not give me medication for a infection. She is my ob/ gyn and I am trying to get pregnant but she said my stuff was out of wack and put me on hormone replacement pills. And No period after two weeks still waiting for a call back for what's next cause she said it wasn't good if I didn't get a period.

I would also either get your primary Dr. to give you more information or ask to be referred to an OBGYN.  Did you receive any medication for the infection?  I would also ask for an HSG once the inflammation is healed, before TTC, as a damaged tube can increase the risk of an ectopic pregnancy.

Good Luck.
