I am lost (Bad News mentioned)

Its so hard to write this and know it to be true. I had my HSG ultrasound on Monday and found out that at the young age of 24, both of my fallopian tubes are blocked and that IUI will probably not work for me..Financially IVF isn't an option and I am just so defeated right now. Its been two days and I think I am still in shock. I've always been relatively healthy, I come from a super fertile family and I just never thought this would even be a possibility. In addition to blocked tubes, I have a protein S defiency so even if we decide to still try the IUI, I may develop blood clots from any medications I take.
I just feel like there's nowhere to go from here....

I'm so sorry to hear this...but I agree with JGY, you may find an alternative path forward. There are IVF financing options, if you want to pursue them. Can your partner carry? You don't need to think about these options now, but know that there are options when you want to investigate them. I can't guarantee any will work for you, but it's worth researching.

My wife went through 12 iui's and 2 failed ivf cycles before they found out what was wrong. She has low egg reserve at the age of 32!
Insurance paid for me to be her " egg donor". Maybe your insurance will pay for your wife to be the " surrogate". It's worth checking your coverage when you're ready. Until then if you want to be moms never lose hope!
Queer coupled and having a BABY with the love of my life! Love my life and wouldn't have it any other way!

I am so very sorry to hear this. I imagine it must be very difficult to imagine a path forward right now. Once you have been given time to process this information, I hope that you are able to find a path that (if not ideal) will provide you with the family that you so crave. I never thought that I would be able to afford IVF, but we made it work. I know you have other challenges as well, but my point is that we end up doing things we never thought possible sometimes. Sometimes it just takes a longer more round-about path to get us to where we are ultimately meant to be. Sending lots of support your way!
