Has anyone had a successful pregnancy with previously blocked tubes?

We had a consult in October with an HSG ultrasound that showed fallopian blockages on both sides, the left with hydrosalpinx. The RE said removing both tubes and IVF was the only option for pregnancy. We took some time and recently went for a second opinion consult, however this time their suggested path forward is to remove the hydrosalpinx tube and attempt clearing the other for natural conception before defaulting to IVF.

Sounds like you have some aversion to IVF. You can try the surgery but I’d assume there is no guarantee it’ll work.

I had one blocked tube. Also have PCOS and a history of fibroids.

I did have a successful pregnancy. We were set to start IUI when we found out that we were pregnant

I just got my tubes unblocked.. it was a 10mins procedure. I’m going to try naturally soon to see if I’ll get pregnant for baby #2. I did 1 round of IVF for baby #1.

I have similar diagnosis and doc in India recommended going for IVF and removing both tubes. Did anyone ever recommend serrapeptase for hydrosalpinx? Also, I have been asked about past infections etc but, I haven’t had any did you know why you had hydrosalpinx.
