If the tubes are blocked during ovulation, the egg cannot travel to the uterus, making natural conception impossible. This blockage can lead to challenges in becoming pregnant and may require medical intervention such as fertility treatments or surgeries like IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) where the egg is fertilized outside the body and then implanted in the uterus, bypassing the blocked tubes entirely.
