I'm really worried about my situation. It seems like my left fallopian tube is blocked while the right one is open. I went through 18 months of AKT for the blockage issue, and then we tried IUI at Fortis Hospital in Mohali for three cycles. During the second cycle, I ended up having an ectopic pregnancy that lasted two months, but after that, the IUI just hasn't worked for us. Could you guide me on what should be the next step in treatment, besides IVF?

Considering your history of unilateral fallopian tube blockage, 18 months of Akt treatment, and three unsuccessful IUI cycles after an ectopic pregnancy, the next steps to consider before IVF could be: Laparoscopic tubal cannulation or tuboplasty to clear the blockage in the left fallopian tube; Hysteroscopic tubal cannulation to assess and potentially clear the blockage; or Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) with ovarian stimulation using Gonadotropins or Letrozole to enhance egg production; consult a fertility specialist to discuss these options

I've been dealing with low appetite, gum swelling, bleeding, bad breath, and very little saliva. My nose feels blocked, I have indigestion, piles, and this weird lump sensation in my throat. My hair's also turning grey early. All this started after my ear surgery in 2014. Blood tests showed high TSH levels, so I might have hypothyroidism. I read that drinking more water helps with mucus, but I'm not sure if I'm overdoing it. My lifestyle's pretty inactive what changes should I make and are there any medications that could help?

ent review is advised.
