Using Bioidentical Progesterone to Naturally Increase Progesterone Levels
January 14, 2016 No Comments
Blocked fallopian tubes are responsible for up to 40% of female infertility cases. If you’re wondering how to unblock fallopian tubes naturally, here’s the truth: with the right anti-inflammatory diet, targeted supplements, castor oil packs, and lifestyle changes, many women with partial blockages can improve tubal health and conceive. In my practice, I advise clients to try a natural approach consistently for 6–12 months before opting for surgical intervention.

When an egg is released from an ovary, it travels through one of the fallopian tubes—narrow ducts connecting the ovaries to the uterus. Fertilization normally happens in the fallopian tube, and the fertilized egg then continues to the uterus for implantation. If a tube is blocked, the egg can’t reach the sperm (or the fertilized egg can’t reach the uterus), preventing pregnancy.
Where the blockage occurs matters for treatment:
Proximal blockage – near the uterus. Often caused by mucus plugs, spasm, or mild scarring. Most responsive to natural treatment.
Mid-segment blockage – in the middle of the tube. Often from tubal ligation or ectopic pregnancy damage.
Distal blockage (hydrosalpinx) – at the end near the ovary. Often caused by PID or chlamydia. The tube fills with fluid. More difficult to treat naturally and may require surgery.
HSG (Hysterosalpingogram) – X-ray with dye injected through the cervix. The gold standard test. Some women report that HSG itself clears mild blockages.
Sono-HSG (Saline Infusion Sonography) – ultrasound-based alternative using saline and air bubbles. Less invasive.
Laparoscopy – surgical examination with a camera. Most accurate but most invasive. Often combined with treatment.
There are rarely obvious symptoms, which is why many women don’t know they have blocked tubes until they’re trying to conceive. Possible signs include:
Yes. If only one tube is blocked, you can still conceive naturally through the open tube. The ovaries alternate ovulation, and some months the egg will release from the side with the open tube. It may take longer, but pregnancy is absolutely possible. Focus on optimizing the health of your open tube with the strategies below.
If you’re wondering how to naturally unblock fallopian tubes, one of the most important steps you can take is reducing inflammation in the body.
Eliminate:
It’s equally important to follow an anti-inflammatory diet when dealing with blocked fallopian tubes.
Eat:
This is one of the most-searched questions about blocked tubes. While no single drink will unblock a tube, these beverages support the anti-inflammatory, immune-boosting, and circulation-enhancing processes that help:
Hydration is essential: drink half your body weight in ounces of filtered water daily. Proper hydration supports lymphatic drainage and circulation.
Dose: 2 capsules 2x daily on an empty stomach. The most important supplement for blocked tubes. Enzymes dissolve scar tissue, adhesions, and fibrin deposits without harming healthy tissue. I recommend Inflammatone. DO NOT TAKE WHILE PREGNANT.
Dose: 2–3 grams EPA+DHA daily. Reduces inflammation throughout the reproductive tract.
Dose: 1,000–2,000 mg daily. Boosts immune function, fights infections, and supports collagen production for tissue repair. If blockage was caused by infection, vitamin C is critical.
Dose: 600 mg 2x daily. Reduces oxidative stress and has mucolytic properties (breaks up mucus). May help clear proximal blockages caused by mucus plugs.
Dose: 5,000 IU daily. Supports immune regulation and reduces chronic inflammation.
Dose: 500–1,000 mg daily. Potent anti-inflammatory that research shows can reduce adhesion formation and scar tissue.
Castor oil packs applied to the lower abdomen increase pelvic circulation, reduce inflammation, break up adhesions, and support lymphatic drainage—all critical for tubal health. Combine with self fertility massage for maximum benefit.
Protocol for blocked tubes: Use 4–5 times per week during the follicular phase (end of period to ovulation). Apply to the lower abdomen for 45–60 minutes with a heating pad. Do NOT use during menstruation if you have heavy periods, and never during the TWW or pregnancy.
While exercise alone won’t unblock a tube, specific movements support pelvic circulation and can complement other natural treatments:
Natural approaches are best for mild to moderate blockages. Consider medical intervention if:
Surgical options include laparoscopic salpingostomy, fimbrioplasty, or tubal cannulation. IVF bypasses the tubes entirely and may be recommended when tubal repair isn’t feasible.
If you’re trying to get pregnant and looking for a solution-based, comprehensive approach, read my complete guide: What’s Actually Preventing Pregnancy — and How to Fix It.
If you’ve been told everything looks normal but you’re still not pregnant — or you have a diagnosis like PCOS, endometriosis, or poor egg quality and nothing is working — there’s almost always something deeper that hasn’t been found yet.
Standard fertility testing rarely evaluates the factors that actually determine whether pregnancy happens: egg quality, ovulation quality, metabolic health, inflammation, nutrient status, and how your body responds to stress.
After nearly 20 years and hundreds of clients, I’ve found that most fertility struggles come down to a small number of hidden biological drivers. When those drivers are identified and addressed in the right order, the body responds.
That’s exactly what we uncover inside The Fertility Code — my 12-week, high-touch fertility program for women who are done guessing. We find what’s been missed and build a clear, personalized strategy around your body, your labs, and your history.
With 1:1 coaching, direct access between calls, lab reviews, evidence-based content, and structured accountability, you get expert eyes on your case so you can stop second-guessing and start moving forward with clarity.
Over 90% of the women I work with go on to conceive.
If you’re ready to finally understand what your body needs for a successful pregnancy — and fix what’s been missed — you can explore the program here → The Fertility Code.
