Update: on infertilty problem

It looks like I will be having surgery anyway. They are going to try and unblock the tube if they can not they will simply just remove it. He said recovery is easy 2days at the most, out patient surgery. They still have to go in and look at my left tube as well. He said they could not exactly tell if it was completely normal or not. If it is fine then I can go on about my business hopefully have a baby. He said if the left tube is abnormal then I would have to consider IVF for a healthy pregnancy. I am thinking it should be fine. But we will see. Not what I wanted to hear. Please left tube be normal. They will figure out how this happened it could be any number of reasons. He also said even with the tube fixed I am still at a disadvantage for a healthy pregnancy. Without surgery 60 percent chance another ectopic, with surgery and one healthy tube 15 percent chance. I have to wait a couple of weeks for the surgery but we may be in Garner when he wants to do it so then I may have to put it off for July. He said its not life or death waiting a month won't kill me. But as I have heard Dr gullet say before, "time is not your friend." He said he would not put it off any longer than that. The older I get the more risk are involved and the more my eggs will age. After the surgery he said I should give my body at least one month to heal then I am in the clear. Alot of people do not realize how common infertility is in couples who have already conceived one healthy child. My doctor said he has seen women after having 2 children come in wanting a third and can not get pregnant. Its common and can happen. Thanks for the prayers keep them coming. I hope everything works out. I will let everyone know when my surgery is when I find out. Thanks guys.
