Blocked Fallopian Tubes How Successful is IVF and How to Prepare for It?
3 months ago
I recently discovered that both of my fallopian tubes are partially blocked, and the doctor advised IVF as the only viable option. I feel completely overwhelmed by the idea of assisted reproductive technology and its cost and emotional burden. How successful is IVF for women with tubal issues, and are there any preparatory steps we can take to improve the chances of conception?

IVF is highly effective for tubal infertility because it bypasses the fallopian tubes entirely, allowing fertilization to occur in the lab before transferring embryos into the uterus. Success rates depend on age, ovarian reserve, and overall uterine health. Preparatory steps can include optimizing hormone levels, ensuring no untreated infections, and improving general health through diet, exercise, and stress management. Couples often undergo counseling to prepare emotionally for the procedure, and clinics may offer detailed guidance on injections, monitoring, and embryo transfer to maximize success.
