How Can I Get Pregnant With Follicle That Is About To Release?

We are trying to get pregnant, and the accupuncture therapist gave my wife a mix of herbs. Last week we did the HSG test and found one of the fallopian tubes would not open enough for the dye to enter, so our idea was to seek accupuncture/chinese medicine options to get "cleaned out". Well included in the herbs are dried leeches (Hirudo!?!). The attempt is to increase blood flow to the vaginal area and potentially un-block any obstructions and hopefully increase the fertile land of the uterine wall. Everything I've read about leeches suggest to stay away from pregnant women. Her follicle is 20 and ready to release, should we do the tea?

Hi, I think you should stop taking that medicine. If one tube is patent, she can get pregnant. If ot does not work, you can go for a laparoscopy to confirm that the tubes are blocked. It can be reopened on laparoscopy if block is proximal. Hope I have answered your question.
