Yes: I would recommend a complete fertility evaluation to see if you actually need to use IVF or not. If you have tubal damage or any other fertility issue then I would recommend seeing a fertility specialist. A hysterosalpingogram is a study where dye is injected into the uterus and out through the tube and X rays are taken to see if the tubes are still open.

Reasonable thought: Tube damage is possible and might lead to a dangerous tubal pregnancy if they were not blocked by scarring.You can have the tubes assessed by a fertility doc and see what they recommend. If they think they are healthy, a normal pregnancy may be possible. If not, they can provide you with the info on IVF, which is costly and seldom covered by insurers.
