I'm so sorry to hear about the results of your test.

It's possible to correct scarring in the tubes, but there would still be a risk (a very high one) that a sperm would go up the tube and fertilize the egg and then it would implant in the tube (causing an ectopic pregnancy). I imagine your doctor will advise you to avoid getting pregnant because of this risk.

What you might want to consider if you wish to carry a child is in vitro - where they give you some fertility drugs for a while and then harvest a bunch of eggs from your ovaries via a laproscopic procedure and then fertilize them in a petri dish and implant them in your uterus. The success rate is quite good for this, but it is expensive and is not often covered by insurance.

I hope you'll talk to your doctor about all the options open to you.

Take care.

Blocked Tubes
Hello I had trouble getting pregnant and had the same thing done to have a look at my tubes they wernt blocked but had scar tissue ,i managed to fall pregnant but it was an ectopic (where the baby grows in your tube)i had to have my right tube removed I decided after that to get sterilised as I couldnt go through that again as you have a higher chance it happening again in your remaining tube, luckily I already have 4 kids .Hope this helps you :
