Well hello there! Intro

in Trouble TTC
Hi all, I've been on TTC after 35 board for a while, and finally started seeing an RE 3 weeks ago. I intro'ed on the Infertility board but they said this might be a better fit seeing that they're all doing IVF.
A bit about me: I am 36 almost 37, my DH turned 41 yesterday, we live in Brooklyn NY, I haven't had a BFP before, but am hopeful. I'm into natural health and really trying those routes (doing Maya Arvigo abdominal massage daily - it's helped my periods become less painful and no spotting!), herbal tea, trying to meditate... but decided to get some answers from the medical doctors after the 6th month of really damn good timing.
I had my HSG Friday and my right fallopian tube is blocked, close to the connection to the uterus. The doc tried to unblock it but it didn't work. He said it is usually dried mucus. The other tube on the left was fine and open. And the uterus looked good he said.
For those of you at home, here is what I know now:
- 6 months NTNP
- 6 months good timing, no BFP
- eggs reserve "looks great"
- 1.8 cm endometriosis on right ovary (I am not sure if there are other spots)
- Last month I ovulated on the right side
- Baseline bloodwork on CD2 normal
- Bloodwork at my physical normal
I'm going on Tuesday with my DH to the RE to get genetic testing results (on both of us), his spermies results, and for a saline sonogram. And we have 30 minutes for discussion about it all.
I am really glad I went in and got started with the RE. It all happened so fast. I was just thinking about it and mentioned to my coworker and she gave me her guy's number, I called and they had an appointment within a week. That was about 3 weeks ago. And now I'm so relieved that my eggs are good, and now huh... the tube blockage. I was thinking it would be OK and open but this is a surprise. I guess from what I read on the googles that some people have surgery to open it, but the scar tissue can grow back. And hopefully the next month I'll O on my left and get a BFP.
Has anyone else had blocked tubes? Tell me stories!
Thanks and have a great weekend.

TTC#1 since Aug 2013, I'm 37, DH 41.
Maya Arvigo Abdominal massage (daily self care), plus TTC meditations.
I'm very sensitive to diet (gluten, avoid processed foods) and environment. Have a history of inflammation and tendinitis before going off gluten in 2009.
July 2014 - RE Visit #1: Eggs look good, Endometrioma on R ovary, HSG showed blocked R tube close to ovary. DH SA normal
DX: Endometriosis probably the IF cause and gunking up tubes. Since egg reserve is high, RE says I can wait a couple months and then get laproscopic surgery to remove endo & clear tube. If that doesn't help then move to IVF.
Dec 2014 - Saw new RE - does not recommend surgery on tube as it isn't likely to help. Doubts I have endometriosis. My endometrioma shrunk to neglible size (yay!)
Seriously considering IVF in March/April
12/17/14 - Natural BFP!

I'm sorry you've had to make the transition to the 3T board, but we welcome you. I just wanted to stop by and send good thoughts your way. I saw your follow up with the RE is today (correct?), so good luck and I hope you get answers and a plan in place!
IF is so overwhelming so I hope the ladies here can be a good support for you. There seems to be a wide range of diagnoses here, so I'm sure at least one or two ladies can give you some insight into what you're going through. The rest of us will be here for you too.
