When Katherine discovered that she had a blocked fallopian tube, she and her husband were referred for IVF treatment. With the help of intralipids, the couple welcomed George and Thomas.

Katherine and Daniel from Essex are delighted to have twins George and Thomas.

The couple first started trying for a baby in 2011 but when Katherine hadn’t conceived after more than a year they went to see their GP. “The doctor put me on Clomid and when I still didn’t fall pregnant we were sent to our local hospital for tests,” reveals Katherine.

A dye test showed that one of Katherine’s fallopian tubes was blocked. “It was actually a relief to begiven a reason why I wasn’t getting pregnant,” says Katherine. “I hadn’t had any symptoms and we led a pretty healthy lifestyle so I had no idea what the problem was.”

Referred for IVF

Katherine and Daniel were told that they could be referred for IVF treatment and they opted to go to Bourn Hall Clinic.

Over the next couple of years Katherine sadly had three miscarriages, twice following IVF treatment and once after a surprise natural conception but despite their setbacks Katherine says that she and Daniel did not give up on their dream of having a family.

“I changed my hours to part-time at work to reduce my stress levels,” says Katherine, who is a PE teacher, “and we went back to Bourn Hall for further treatment using two frozen embryos from previous treatment”.

Intralipids to help immune cells

This time around the couple also had intralipids, which is a source of fat and energy normally injected. It is thought that intralipid is able to change the immune cells in the uterine lining, making the environment in the uterus friendlier towards the embryo.

The couple were ‘cautiously optimistic’ when Katherine fell pregnant for a fourth time but tried not to get their hopes up too much because of the previous miscarriages. Happily the pregnancy went full-term and George and Thomas arrived on 27 March 2016.

“Since the boys have arrived it has been a whirlwind,” laughs Katherine. “We have had lots of support from our parents and we have to be very organised but I can honestly say that it has been worth it. We are loving every minute of it.”

What brought you to Clear Passage?

I had an IUD put in in 2009. Immediately afterward, I began to experience a little pain during intercourse which got worse until I got the IUD removed in January 2012. The pain continued and in November 2012, I had a laparoscopy. The doctor discovered adhesions and endometriosis. She also performed an HSG test which revealed that both fallopian tubes were completely blocked. I was informed that my only options for children were IVF or adoption and she didn’t know what to do about the painful intercourse. I used the Internet to search the words adhesions, blocked tubes, painful intercourse and Clear Passage was one of the first sites to come up. The information and the clinical research made very practical sense to me, so I decided to try it.

What was the treatment program like?

I did the 20-hour one week intensive therapy (4 hours per day). I worked with wonderful therapists who were very empathetic and educational. They helped me understand what was going on, they allowed me to guide the therapy sessions, and they treated the entire body – not just specific areas of concern. I could actually feel the tissue loosening up so I knew it was effective treatment. They were also great at listening and creating healing conversation that made the sessions more effective. They taught me self-therapy techniques to continue at home so I felt empowered and in control of healing myself. After therapy, they also did phone consultations whenever I had any questions or concerns.

What were the results of your therapy?

Immediately afterward, intimacy with my husband drastically improved and 6 months after therapy I conceived my first son. Some friends and family just told me it was a fluke or a “miracle baby”. But 15 months after my son was born, I conceived my second child who is due May 2015. I feel like I am fully recovered and if I choose to have more children, it will be a possibility.

Do you have any advice for other women who are struggling with fertility issues?

Educate yourself. Don’t just listen to medical doctors. Get second, third, and fourth opinions from a variety of experts. Physical therapists, chiropractors, nutritionists, acupuncturists, herbalists, fitness experts, etc. Because I was the wife of a future chiropractor, I was able to think holistically when it comes to my health. That’s why Clear Passage made so much sense to me.

Has anyone got pregnant with blocked tubes?

Yes, you can pregnant with one blocked fallopian tube. The fallopian tubes are two tubes via which eggs move from the ovaries to the uterus. Each month, one of the ovaries produces an egg, which goes through one of the fallopian tubes and may or may not fertilized by sperm.

What happens if you get pregnant with a blocked fallopian tube?

If both tubes are fully blocked, pregnancy without treatment will be impossible. If the fallopian tubes are partially blocked, you can potentially get pregnant. However, the risk of an ectopic pregnancy increases. This is because it's harder for a fertilized egg to move through a blockage to the uterus.

Can you get pregnant naturally with blocked fallopian tubes?

If one fallopian tube is blocked, it's still possible to get pregnant as the egg can travel through the other side of the body since there are two ovaries. However, if both tubes are completely blocked, it won't be possible to get pregnant naturally until one or both is unblocked.

Can a woman with blocked fallopian tubes get pregnant state reason?

A blocked fallopian tube, which is also known as tubal factor infertility, is when an obstruction, such as scarring, an adhesion, or infection, prevents the egg from traveling down the tube. This can occur on one or both sides and is the cause of infertility in up to 30% of infertile people with ovaries.
