[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you - this is really helpful.

Based on the HSG and Ultrasounds, my OB and RE have said that my uterus looks normal and also don't suspect any endometriosis. Do you know if there are additional tests to confirm what the impact of blocked tubes on the uterus may be?

Honestly, I'm torn - I'd much prefer to avoid IVF however yes, if that's the best and only option then so be it and I'm ready to move quickly.[/quote]

I'm not sure if there are additional tests. Possibly an endometrial biopsy or hysteroscopy to look for inflammation in the lining? I've had two friends with tubal issues - one went right to IVF and said she doesn't regret it, but does wonder if the tubes caused some of her losses and thinks she could have ultimately had success without IVF after clearing the tubes. The other's RE won't do transfers until they remove her tubes. Not sure what her diagnosis is exactly, but significant enough to her RE that she's doing multiple retrieval cycles before the tube surgery and transfers. I think it matters what kind of blockage it is. If it's scar tissue, then it's probably fine to do IVF. If it's the kind that leaks fluid, then that can definitely impact the uterine environment. Were they able to guess at what kind of blockage it was?

I think you should get a second opinion if you're not sure. That is absolutely appropriate in these cases and could probably just be a virtual consult since you have all of your test results. [/quote]
