Hello, don't have the answer to your questions but the last 3 months my mature follicles have always been on my left side and the smaller ones on the right. This month cd11 scan showed 0 on right and 4 on left at 11 11 10 and 8. Could this mean that my right tube is blocked? Or...both tubes? Blood tests the last 3 months have showed that I've ovulated so does this mean that both tubes can't be or do you still ovulate with blocked tube? I'm confused :-(
Nobody knows what will happen when it come to the egg dropping & you can't worry about it. You just need to relax & hope nature drops the correct egg. You can always do IVF also if you choose that route.
You can ovulate from the blocked side of the ovary too but the released egg wont be able to get fertilized since the sperm cant reach through the blocked tube. Also if one of your ovary showed 0 that means there are no eggs there to release.

I do not know the answer for your question. But in the case of IVF when they give the HCG injection even the almost mature ones get matured. So try to talk to your doctor if they are sure the right one gets matured on its own after the LH surge. If you have blocked tube normally I have not heard doctors suggesting IUI. I dont know why they suggested it in your case.
Btw ovulation on the natural basis is like flipping a coin you never know what you gonn get. But if the ovulation is tricked through madication then both ovaries may release eggs.
If they're about the same size, chances are they will both ovulate...but you could always ask your dr. about doing a trigger shot (HCG shot) to make sure. Best of luck!
ok, thanks everyone, i feel a whole lot better. i will be taking the trigger shot- hcg when i see an lh surge, so wish me luck!
u make a good point about the iui and blocked tubes; will call my dr and ask why we r going that route....i am rily confused
You should be fine then, since you're using a trigger ;-) As for IUIs and blocked tubes, it shouldn't be an issue as long as you have one tube open and there's a mature follicle on that side. It's only when both tubes are blocked that IUIs are out of the question. Of course, you want to make sure that you develop a mature follicle on the side with the open tube, otherwise it's a waste of time and money...but your doctor should be monitoring you for that (which it sounds like he or she is). I know of at least a couple of people on here who have gotten pregnant through IUI and fertility meds with only one open tube. Good luck with everything!
thanks, i really need it.
Thank you everybody!
