    You need to visit a GYN Dr and bring the results of all the tests you've had., (get your records from the hospital). A Gyn will be able to tell you what's going on and why. Having all those tests should have seen something but if they came back negative it could be something more. Not sure if they did an internal ultrasound where you/they insert a long camera inside you're vaginal area. You must have a Full bladder when they do it so they can see your uterus and the tubes. If you have NOT had that test done, that is the test that will allow them to see inside and tell you what's wrong. Good Luck and Don't give up hope on the Pregnancy thing. My daughter was unable to get pregnant for years due to cysts on her ovaries, The dr's told her she would never get pregnant. Well, she proved them wrong.. She now has a Beautiful Little boy who's 5 months old and was born on the 4th of July. Miracles Do Happen.

    Unfortunately, the only test that helps find if your tubes are blocked is pretty painful. Hysterosalpingogram, or HSG type of X-ray technique will look inside the tubes and sometimes the procedure itself can unblock a blocked tube. You can ask for a valium if you feel nervous about the test or take two motrins before you for the test. Good luck with the test.

    Actually, the procedures you've mentioned have their specific "target" for diagnosis. Different tests will help you give a clearer result on specific areas. Since doctors aren't psychics, they have to do different tests with different points of interest to detect which one isn't doing well. Now that you're narrowing down to the problem, your doctor should've a better suggestion of what tests you should take.

    Hoping it's not a serious condition. Good luck.:)

    not sure if they can detect a blocked tube or not but a hysterosalpingogram can–it is called an hsg test for short. they inject dye into your fallopian tubes and watch it on a monitor–they can know immediately if your tubes are blocked or not. very painful cramping when they test but test is very valuable. best of luck!!!
