PID??....

Back in November when I did my HSG (dye test to check fallopian tubes) the dye went through my tubes slower then it was supposed to, the doc said it might be scar tissue.  Well nothing else was said after that.  My OB never went over the results with me or said anything about the scar tissue.  Well I have done 2 rounds of clomid and a natural cycle, I ovulated, with timed intercourse and still not pregnant.  Sooo I was sitting here wondering why in the heck would I have scar tissue in my tubes??? So I did a search on the reasons why I would and the results completely shocked me!!  The first thing that came up was a "ruptured appendix".  When I was 2 years old my appendix ruptured, and I had an infection from it.  If you have an infection in your lower abdomin that is not completely treated it causes PID which is Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, after months/years going untreated it turns the infection into scar tissue in or around the area (...fallopian tubes, ovaries...etc).  Soo what I want to know is if it is so difficult for dye, which is a liquid, to get through my tubes then how could sperm or a fertilized egg get through???

I am going to see my OB Wednesday and tell him my opinion and ask why he isn't concerned with the scar tissue, and why he never asked why I had the scar on my abdomin or even if I had, had any previous surgeries.  Then I am going to request an operative laparoscopy, which is where they insert a small tube, that has a telescope, below my bellybutton and get a closer look at all my reproductive organs and then from there they will scrap any scar tissue from in or around the tubes/uterus/ovaries.....Not sure if this is my problem or not but it is worth a shot!!
