Anyone had experience with hydropsalpinx?

I may have hydropsalpinx on my right fallopian tube. I have yet to get an HSG, but based on the ultrasound images, it's pretty certain. They believe it might've been a result of my previous ovarian cyst surgery; perhaps my body is just prone to scarring which resulted in hydropsalpinx.

I think the fallopian tube in question may need to be removed. My doctor didn't necessarily tell me to stop TTC. What she did say is that - I need to call her right away if we found out we were pregnant so they can make sure it isn't a tubal pregnancy.

But aren't the risks higher that way? eg, potential miscarriages if fluid leaks into uterus, ectopic pregnancy. It looks like the body will need a much longer recovery vs just removing the tubes via laparoscopy and TTCing again?

If pregnancy were established, can hydropsalpinx still prevent that from becoming full-term? Or is hydropsalpinx only an issue with implantation? 

Has anyone had a similar experience? TIA!

@jb129 Welcome to our community! We generally discourage one-off posts like this, but we would enjoy getting to know you if you want to introduce yourself in our "Newbie Intros" thread. We have a monthly "Questions/Chart Stalk" thread that would be perfect for something like this. As for your specific situation, I'm afraid I don't have any personal experience to share but perhaps other ladies will be able to chime in.
