Surgery wasn't so bad after all. The worst part was sore abs and throat.
Doc removed stage 2 endometriosis, but informed me my tube was never blocked!(Thanks regular OBGYN for getting that wrong in my hsg, which the RE described as the worst quality HSG he had ever seen, And causing unnecessary surgery. )
RE said my endometriosis wasn't bad enough to cause problems,but removing it should help, so at least it wasn't a complete waste of money.
So we start IUI with Clomid as soon AF arrives. She is due to show up in a few days. Shiz getting real!!

MelOzark, our RE said that the HSG is about 85% accurate; she thinks I probably had a spasm (which isn't uncommon) that made my tubes looked blocked.

Trying to have baby #1 since April 2013
DH SA March,May 2014 - Low motility and shape issues. On vitamins per RE to help
Me testing April 3, 2014 - FSH and LH good, HSG showed blocked right tube
April 29, 2014 - First RE appt., right tube needs to be removed and possibly left also if
it's bad too. RE suggests going straight to IVF
June 4, 2014 - LAP/HSC and unexpected endo. removed but tubes got to stay!
June 13, 2014 - Post-Op appointment. We decide where to go next since main issue
is MFI influenced. Trying naturally until decision... Repeat SA in September. Aiming for IUI #1 November 2014.
