blocked tubes

After 3 kids and 5 natural pregnancies, 2 M/C......I found out 4 years ago my tubes were completely blocked. I had a hystosalipnagram which confirmed this. I had a surgical procedure to check out the tubes under a general, and my surgeon said there was nothing more he could do and suggested IVF, as my new husband has no children of his own and is longing for his own baby.
I had no other fertility problems, ovulate normally etc

I have had various IVF treatments, nothings has worked yet, I am now in my 40's, and have found out there is a specilaist centre: Regency clinic in Harley street in London who specialise in clearing blocked tubes with a 80-90% success rate. I am gutted
Im pretty sure they could have cleared my tubes.
I have spent a fortune trying to have IVf and Donor IVf due to my age, and all along I could have had my tubes cleared and used my own eggs
Time has now moved on and Im 4 years older-Do you think its now too late to try?
Will my own eggs be too knackered to even consider?

Its so depressing, we are due to have donor treatment again in Russia next month but I feel very gutted we knew nothing of this possibility.......

BIG SIGH

WHY DOESNT ANYONE TELL YOU THIS STUFF!!!???

for you, Northern.

My mother tells of how, after a M/C, she realized her tubes were blocked. Dr cleared her tubes some sort of gas (sorry, fuzzy on details) and she had my brother.

This was over 30 years ago! I'm that your Dr hasn't told you that it was possible to clear your tubes.

Sorry, I have no idea if you would conceive naturally at your age, even if your tubes were cleared.

You might post this under "Conception", as well.
