Hello and welcome,
I understand your problem well.
Regarding the IVF, it depends upon the country you are, the laws that prevail and if it is insurance, about its legal terms. So for this it is better to seek legal advice.
About the blocked tubes:
It is possible to surgically open the tubes by a procedure called tuboplasty. This improves the chances of pregnancy [ the sucess rate is not 100% and varies from case to case]. This is our first line for women with blocked tubes desiring pregnancy. So discuss this with your doctor and ask them if this surgery is possible.
All my good wishes are with you.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Thanks for using HCM.
Feel free to ask any more questions that you may have.
