Both my fallopian tubes are blocked and I'm really confused about what to do next. Should I consider getting endoscopy surgery to clear the blockages or would it be better to go straight for IVF? I'm worried about the success rates and recovery time for each option.

With bilateral fallopian tube blockages, both endoscopic surgery and IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) are options, but IVF is often the more direct path to pregnancy. Endoscopic surgery, like tubal recanalization or salpingectomy, might be considered if there's a chance to repair the tubes, but success rates can vary depending on the cause and severity of the blockage. IVF bypasses the tubes entirely, making it a more reliable option for some, but it also has its own success rates and recovery time to consider.
