Hi Morgan

I agree, it helps so much to be able to talk to others who actually understands. Many people out there are completely oblivious and can be very insensitive.

If I understood correctly, my FS said that if it turns out that my tubes are completely blocked, then IVF is the only option. I recall him saying something along the lines of "for all treatments, except IVF, we need your tubes in working order" (I'm translating now). He doesn't seem to think that mine's blocked, but we'll know next week. It really seemed as if he's suspecting endo instead, which he described as a possible cause of inflamation that may effect the egg quality.

So for now I'm just trying to stay calm and not get worked up about the many possibilities - rather wait to see what's going on inside.

Have your gynae/FS ever suggested doing a laparoscopy? Mine said that he likes to take a conservative approach and check those things before moving on to more expensive treatments. Otherwise you spend a lot of money on 3 - 6 IUIs, just to find out later that something was wrong from the beginning. I'd rather do that than go through more BFN cycles, because the emotional component to this also takes its toll.

Hoping that AF doesn't make her appearance for you this month. :) :heart:

Hi Meisiekind

Welcome! Always nice to have people to talk to hey? I know that since I've been on here I felt 'better' about TTC. It's hard when you don't have people to talk to who understand.

I really hope everything turns out fine for you next week. It's like I said on an earlier post, it's the worst feeling ever when a part of your own body is sabotaging your hopes and dreams.

Blocked fallopian tubes... Will IUI work?

I ask because should AF make her appearance this month then we also have to move on to IUI and I have one blocked tube and one that, honestly, I don't know what's going on there.

Anyway, like I said, hoping everything will be fine.

xx

Hello ladies

Thinking of you Cynthia. :heart: :heart:

How are all of you doing? Thought I'd chat here a bit more regularly if you don't mind. Sometimes its just nice to be amongst people that understand the situation.

AFM, we've had to put a hold on TTC for a few weeks. Going for a laparoscopy and hystroscopy next week Tuesday to check if my tubes are open, but also to see if there are any endometriosis to worry about - FS seems to think its a possibility. Thereafter I need to recover for 3 - 4 weeks and then we'll move on to IUI.

Wishing you all a great week ahead. :)
