Hi there - I'm new to this site and have been reading different posts for the last couple of months and I have plucked up the courage to send a message.<br>I am 33 and my DH is 34 and we have been TTC for five years, found out after two that I had blocked fallopian tubes and had surgery to correct them but have never fallen.<br>We plan to have IVF in Jan 04 (privately) and we are only having one attempt at this but I want to give it 100% (like we all do) but I keep hearing that you have a 50% more success rate at IVF if you have your tubes removed, is this correct?.<br>I have read all the different threads and it has given me much more hope but I'm just really nervous about this!.<br><br><br>

Hi Kyla,<br>I don't think there is any need for you to worry about this, you are OK doing IVF with blocked tubes providing there is no hydrosalpinx. This is a condition where a blocked tube becomes filled with fluid - which has been proven to reduce chance of IVF success. It seems there are many doctors out there who cannot seem to correctly diagnose this condition!! I am not an expert by any means but if I was you I would get this checked out asap so that if you do need surgery you have plenty of time to recover before your IVF. <br>Good Luck.<br><br>Missy
