Both my fallopian tubes are completey blocked. Is there any way for me to become pregnant naturally, or is IVF my only option?

If both your tubes are blocked, it is extremely unlikely that you could get pregnant naturally. The options include tubal surgery or IVF.

The moment of conception
Normally, only one sperm can break through the outer membrane of the egg; once the sperm enters the egg, the sperm loses its tail.

Implantation
After six days, the cluster of cells develops a hollow cavity. Called a blastocyst, it attaches itself to the wall of the womb. Some cells grow into the womb''''s lining and the fetal life-support system (the placenta) begins to form.
