success after blocked fallopian tubes

[Becca1998]

I just wanted to share this to give hope to everyone as miracles do happen, I know when i started my ivf journey reading success stories helped-

Originally we tried for 18 months to conceive naturally but nothing, i then went down the ivf line with the nhs and the first time it didn’t work when then said on paper everything went fine and no reason why it didnt work and said if i go again they wouldnt change anything i started to look around at private clinics. I found an amazing hospital and consultant who immediately saw i had a couple of polyps and adhesions and said having these i never stood a chance of the ivf working , so a couple of months later i had the operation to remove these, in the operation the consultant also confirmed i had blocked fallopian tubes ( both ) he tried to unblock them but couldn’t so i still had to go through another set of ivf which thankfully worked this time and gave me my beautiful baby girl. 30 months on from that and im about to have another baby girl which was conceived naturally, i had read articles where after birth some women are able to then conceive naturally after a ivf baby and its true - never give up hope even at the hardest times .

Aw congratulations 🎉 what a lovely story, thank you for giving me hope!

I just wondered, did your tubes unblock naturally or did you have them unblocked?

Thats amazing , congratulations 🎉.

I have been told I have a blocked Fallopian tube , and would need surgery to remove or repair , but also that ivf unlikely to work as it stops implantation .

Did you get told anything similar ? Xx

Hi, I have 2 blocked tubes and I have been told I need to have them removed or tied before they implant an embryo. Apparently the liquid in the tubes could leak into the womb causing miscarriage. So I'm confused as to why some clinics allow ivf and others make you get rid of your tubes, leaving you never being able to conceive naturally... its quite scary isn't it? How are you getting on?

Hi, when they first thought i had blocked tubes they tried the blue dye to confirm it but was too painful so they stopped it . When i had my polyp removed the doctor saw both of my fallopian tubes we’re definitely blocked and tried to unblock them then but he couldn’t so after my op I waited a couple of months then went through ivf and it worked and had my first baby. I didn't has specific surgery to try to unblock it just because he was removing the polyp he tried to unblock them at that point . With the 2nd pregnancy I conceived naturally the tubes must have just unblocked themselves or one of them, im convinced they unblocked due to pregnancy/ giving birth as i trued all different remedies i read before to try and unblock them but it didn't happen . I was always told if i did have blocked tubes IVF was my only option . Good luck with it , don't just get one hospitals opinion if i did i wouldn't have got pregnant in the first place x
