Hullo all.

I haven't posted before but you have all been a big virtual help so far in the rubbish journey that is ttc.

I will bring you up to date with my story before I ask directly for help.

33, ttc for 18 months. Started talking to the docs in January and things have moved pretty slowly until recently. I had blood tests and a scan for pcos which came back fine. In May we found our my DH sperm had low motility and morphology. Disappointing but not terrible. We were cruising along thinking that 6 months off the sauce and caffeine would make all the difference. We went for a consultation at the fertility clinic and put our selves on the waiting list for ivf. All the while secretly thinking that it won't be necessary, I will just fall naturally and all the tests were just elimination exercises.

Well....I got that wrong. After an HSG last week I found out both tubes were blocked. One definitely and one inconclusively, I am done with false hope, after the £££££ i have spent on poas so inconclusively means blocked.

essentially we are in exactly the same place we were before the HSG, unable to conceive without intervention but it was a bit of a blow to say the least.

ok..... so my question is about tubal surgery.
Is it worth the risk of eptoptic or should I have them both snipped off and throw myself into the ivf arena?

does anyone have any experience?

thanks in advance

Might depend how they are blocked.
If hydro they probably recommend surgery so it doesnt affect implantation.
Could the test clear it out?
