    I'm no doctor...but I feel your pain...so i wanted to respond...and I did look online a bit. BUT i encourage you to talk with your RE. I also have a blocked tube (left though). I felt very discouraged and upset, but you know what, it doesn't matter when you do IVF! I know your numbers are low (but not out, it looks like they're borderline)...and FSH is good! So don't feel too discouraged. I just started my IVF journey and I'm glad I tried IVF...yes it costs $15K, but worth it if at the end, I have a baby! Good luck!!!

    I had a blocked tube on my right side. My doctor wouldn't even do an IUI before he performed the lap because he was worried about a tubal pregnancy. I did allot of research on that and most doctor's don't mind so long as one side is working. I was lucky my insurance covered the procedure, but I had to pay 20% of the costs out of pocket. My hospital bill was around $15K, that's what insurance paid. I also had to pay the doctor who did the procedure and the doctor who put you under. If your comfortable doing the IUI's with one tube open I would decide how many you want to try. At that point if it doesn't work if I were in your shoes I would do IVF. If you have good follicles you will have a chance of freezing some eggs increasing your number of attempts.
