BFP after being told my tubes were blocked!!

[Kelstar82]

Hi

I am writing this thread to give woman hope that are in the same situation as I was in. After TTC for 3 years it has finally happened!

After attending a fertility specialist we had the usual tests done semen analysis, my AMH if I was ovulating etc and everything was perfect but we were not conceiving and it was heartbreaking to say the least. The specialist then suggested and HSG so after this was performed I was told I had swelling in my tubes and no dye was passing through you can imagine how devastated we were I had no recollection of any infection so I was extremely upset. The dr then explained that he could perform a lap and dye to confirm for sure the blockage but didn't advise it as I was already in IVF list... But I more or less told him that I would try anything so the lap was performed on the 20th May this year.

After the op the surgeon and assistant sat on my bed and told me it was bad news and the tubes were blocked and IVF was my only chance.

Well what can I say how wrong they were I am currently 8 weeks pregnant and had my scan at 7 weeks to check for ectopic pregnancy as I had previous op on my tubes and baby was perfectly in my womb.


I'm telling this story so others don't lose hope.

Xxxxxxx

That does give women like us hope.
I was told after my lap. in Jan. my tubes we're swollen (but not blocked) but IVF was my only option..

But it confused me because after my surgery (which I guess my doctor forgot) my ob told my mom I could still get pregn. just have a higher risk for ectopic .. but when I went for my 4 week follow up she told me IVF was my only option.

My mother told me not to listen to what doctors says, because sometimes they dont always know whats right. They told her she couldn't have kids at all, and she got pregnant 5 times naturally.


Congrats. on your BFP. Have a healthy and happy 9 months.

Kel your story is so amazing I thought I'd follow you over here from the laparoscopy thread you started! I had always thought a lap was always 100% accurate when diagnosing blocked tubes but it's good to know they're not. My right tube is blocked in the middle, but it looked perfectly healthy at my lap and my doc couldn't figure out what was blocking it, so maybe it's okay.

I wonder if your doc didn't do the dye test right or maybe the tubes were in spasm? Also, I wonder what was causing you not to conceive for three years if your tubes were open all of this time. So many questions! Did you doc have any explanation about any of this??

Hey ha another scan today and baby looking good so now waiting for appointment for 12 week they had no explanation. On the letter that I was sent after lap it said there was no fill in my left tube and slightly in right tube but swelled up... The conclusion was bilateral tubal blockage... I don't know whether the antibiotics and strong anti inflammatories after surgery maybe helped I have absolutely no idea it's unbelievable to be honest xx I'm feeling extremely blessed right now and thankful xxxx

This is wonderful! congratulations!

I was told by a BnB friend to come see your thread. I'm so glad to see a success story after that kind of diagnosis. I just had an HSG yesterday and both my tubes are blocked. I'm very sad and don't know what to do. But maybe there's a little hope for me still

Never lose hope girls ❤ xxxxx
