Well had my lap and dye done and currently in bed recovering. Think the emotional recovery will take longer though. My one remaining tube (had one removed in past due to ectopic) is completely blocked. They tried to unblock it but couldn't. We'll never have children naturally again 😢 I can't believe this was the outcome.
Now I'm on the hunt for blocked tube and IVF success stores.
Hello!
I had the exact same problem as you and im not going to lie it gets easier but its always in your thoughts. I don't have any success story for you as im currently in the process so im taking my 2 injections a day burselin and menopur ive been taking the the menopur for a week now and you usually take them for around 2 weeks so im thinking by this time next week i will be going in for egg collection 
My body has reacted really well to the meds so hopefully yours does as well!
Its so hard to find out you will never be able to conceive naturally but there is hope and there are things that can be done, dont beat your self up too much i know its easier said than done but try and be positive, rest yourself up 
Good luck all the best xxx
Thank you for sharing. I'm absolutely devastated but still feel it's not real, like I'll wake up from it all. I've got a 6 to 9 month wait for IVF just now so I'm hoping it goes in quickly.
I wish you all the very best of luck that this works for you, you can be the success story!!! Please let me know how you get on. We have to both get out little miracles, it's too unfair if we don't.
Its okay, i still feel the same way and tbh i dont think its sunk in properly still either where i started my treatment so soon after i dont think i had time to process it or i just chose not to and carry on looking forward either way its deffo not real!
I hope we both get our little babys and a happy ending will keep you updated and im sure more people on here have been in the same situation and may be able to offer support xx
Oh Molly I am so sorry to hear your news. That's such a lot to get your head round. I'm afraid I can't offer any advice but I wanted you to know there's someone out there thinking about you.
I hope you feel physically better soon and are able to go and do something nice for you.
Lots of love

Thank you Sarah, I'm so devastated and can't accept its real. I expected them to find something but I genuinely thought they'd find some endometriosis, remove it and the dye down my tube would give it a little flush then I'd be able to get pregnant. I sobbed like a baby when they told me the awful news. I'm going to take a couple of weeks before going back to work then just focus on exercise I think until the IVF comes around. I'll need something or I'll drive myself mad.
Thank you for your kind words and support!
Hi Molly28. Just read this, and I'm so sorry that all seems to be so pear-shaped for you at the moment. From a medical point of view, I feel you need to ask about your remaining tube, as any surplus natural lubrication in the tube that can't spill out into the pelvis, can only exit through the womb. Sadly, many consultants now believe that this fluid could prevent a developing embryo from implanting, so often recommend that it is clipped or removed before the start of IVF. I do have a list of questions you might like to read through before you go back for a follow-up appointment, so if you want me to email it to you in confidence, I will. You can reach me at support@fertilitynetworkuk.org and can I just remind you, that lots of my ladies have achieved success in much the same situation as yourself, so be brave, and I know the others here will support you through any treatment cycle. Diane
Thank you so much for this Diane. I have a letter for my gp and on it a box is ticked about a clip/staple but I don't understand that part and was still feeling effects of anesthetic when I got my outcome from the doctor. I'm now wondering if it has been clipped. I'll send you an email just now, any info would be greatly appreciated, I feel very lost and confused right now. Thank you for your help!
Hi. Maybe it has already been done, I don't know, but I would have thought they would have mentioned it. Anyhow, I will send you the questions when I hear from you. Diane
They may have said and I can't remember, they said I might not remember everything because of the anesthetic and I wasn't allowed my husband in at that point. I remember them saying it was completely blocked, that they tried to unblock it then she drew a picture to show what it looked like because it's apparently all bent but I was crying so much too.
I'm seeing my GP tomorrow so she might clear that part up for me.
Thanks again, I really appreciate your help!! It's amazing to have a network to support us women!
Hi. I was in that situation last year. Try and keep your chin up, I felt useless when I got that news but try to keep positive. Mine was due to ectopic pregnancies. Since then I have had my remaining tube removed and starting ivf on 18th of this month. Bit of a rollercoaster but there is hope at the end of it all. Fingers crossed. Xx
I'm so sorry to hear this. Both of my tubes are blocked and was told the only way was ivf. I didn't see this coming as I have a 9 year old from a previous relationship and just assumed that when I got married 3 years ago I would conceive again. I don't have a success story for you yet as I am currently in my first 2ww.
I have read some success stories on here of ivf working with blocked tubes so all is not lost. It is hard to process tho I was devastated but glad that there was an option for having ivf.
I wish you lots of luck in your journey xxx
So sorry for what you must be going through, it's such a hard thing to have to deal with. I know it must still be such a shock for you but please don't give up, there are amazing things that can be done to help couples with fertility issues so your dream of having a baby is not over. IVF is such an amazing thing and gives us all hope of having our own children some day. Stay strong take the time you need to get over the shock of such news, rest up and get your head around things then pick yourself up and start the next part of your fertility journey. Good luck and all the best xx
Thank you for your support and kind words, it really does help!
I had a tube and ovary taken from me due to a large endo cyst and felt completely broken for months.
My remaining ovary is stuck to one of my uterus ligaments and all crumpled up is probably useless.
Currently 28 weeks pregnant after our first icsi treatment. At least with ivf you have a chance x
Just want to say I am terribly sorry, wish they did tube transplants, to d be willing immediately. Am so very sorry, sending you a huge hug. ☹️can't imagine how you feel. Please don't give up ever. My heart goes out to you and your partner ❤️😘🙏🏼✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Hi Molly, it's always hard to hear the news it's not going to happen the natural way. Both my tubes were blocked so removed before starting IVF. It wasn't easy and the journey was long but we eventually got our BFP and he's now just over 10 months old. I found this forum a crucial part of my journey the support here is amazing! Good luck on your journey xx
Congratulations on your baby boy and thank you for sharing you success story, it gives me hope.
Knowing how long it's going to take really gets to me but we've had 2 years of disappointment and ups and downs so far so I know we can hold on a while longer .
The support on here is amazing, thank you!
I only have one tube which I knew would come back as blocked and it did. I am now half way through my first cycle of ivf. Took a while to get started as to get nhs finding for just one go in my area we both have to be under a bmi of 30 which was quite difficult for my broad husband. Good luck and don't lose hope xx
Thanks for sharing. Best of luck with your IVF, let me know how you get on.
My bmi was 29 then 28 now back to 29, I put weight on after the ectopic. I'm going to focus all my energy on getting fit again and back to what I was pre ectopic so I don't ruin my chances of IVF, it's hard though.
Wishing you all the very best!!!
Hello
I know how you feel as I feel the same. But once you've accepted that this is the situation you are in, you will be able to be positive and focus on what needs to be done. You'll get your baby but it will be a different plan. It's a journey, we don't know how long, but we support each other on our journeys here....
After 3 years of trying I had the HSG three times in one week!!!! So bloody painful. 3rd time they confirmed both my tubes are blocked. I was in shock. I managed to get to the toilet then cried my eyes out there, then hugged my boyfriend's mum who went with me and cried so bad. This was in January. That night I went to bed and cried so hard and then I thought I can't go on like this, I can't be crying every day, I need to get my shit together and focus...I knew I had IVF as an option, 2 rounds. Laparoscopy and hysteroscopy confirmed my blocked tubes and that I also only have half a cm of cervix left, meaning it would be difficult to hold on to a pregnancy to full term, more bad news. It's all because 7 years ago I had an abnormal smear result. I had to have a cone biopsy to remove the bad cells. 2 weeks later I had a major haemorrhage at work, blood everywhere in a class full of 4 year olds. I was rushed to hospital. I had an infection following the procedure. No one told me that my fertility may be affected. The laparoscopy confirmed that the cone biopsy was so deep that my cervix had been removed and the infection had blocked my tubes. I would have seeked help sooner if I had have known. Tuesday I'm spending 2 nights in a hospital to have a TAC fitted which is a stitch tied around the bottom of my uterus to help prevent miscarriage if I do fall pregnant. It is done through a cut like a c section. It will be permanent. I'll only ever be able to have a c section birth. Once I'm recovered I'm starting ivf. I've had my initial consultation and I'm on metformin. Good luck with your journey......I've been sad, angry, every emotion - but now I am positive and focused on ivf - we got this xxxx
You've been through so much, thank you for sharing your story. It's amazing what women can cope with! I hope I can be as positive and focused as you, that's what I want to be.
Wishing you a quick recovery and all the best for ivf when it starts. Let me know how you get on!
I'm stronger than I thought it was - but I'm sure going through ivf will be even tougher than the year I've had so far - it's all down to science and luck now and our of my control. Thanks for your words. With time you'll be fine. Allow yourself times to be sad and also make sure that this ivf journey doesn't consume you - still make sure you have fun doing normal things along the way to keep you sane and help your relationship xxx
I'm so sorry to hear this and I'm sorry you are feeling so lost and down. But I wanted to, as requested, let you know that I have two blocked tubes. I'm 38 and decided last year that as I'm single I'll do this alone. After one failed round I'm currently pregnant after a FET. It's very early but please don't give up hope. Good things can still happen. Much love x
Blocked fallopian tube. I only have one tube anyway.
Do I need laparoscopy before IVF?
Anyone else had bad news from an HSG test - what does it mean?
