Unfortunately, the only way to know if your tubes are blocked is to check by doing a hystosalpingogram (HSG). This procedure consists of injecting a clear radiopaque dye into your uterus while you are getting an xray so that your doctor can see if the fluid runs through the tube. I understand that you are scared of the procedure, but I can reassure you, that although it is uncomfortable, most patients tolerate it reasonably well, especially if they take ibuprofen a half hour beforehand. It only takes 30 seconds or so, and it will help you figure out what is going on so you can get pregnant. Most doctors won't even do an IUI before they've confirmed by an HSG that the tubes are open.
