I'm a bit worried about a recent situation and need some advice. My wife and I had sex on the night of May 19th. Her menstrual cycle is about 26 days long, and her last period started on May 11th. We got concerned because we thought it might have been her fertile window, so she took an emergency contraceptive pill the next morning on May 20th. What are the chances she could still get pregnant given the timing and everything?

Can someone with blocked fallopian tubes menstruate?

Yes, blocked fallopian tubes interfere with the passage of ovum and thus may lessen the chances of pregnancy. Menstruation occurs when one shreds a layer of uterus and blocked fallopian tubes may not interfere with it.

Can bilateral tubal blockage be cleared with Ayurveda, and how long might it take? I'm concerned about having hydrosalpinx, which I understand is fluid blocking my fallopian tubes. Any insights on this would be really helpful!
