PID (Pelvic Inflammatory Disease) is a risk factor for having blocked tubes. The only way to know at this point would be to have a hysterosalpingogram (HSG)-you can read about this by searching this site.
Even if your tubes are open, you're at high risk for having an ectopic, and would highly recommend you be under the immediate care of a doc who can monitor you closely as soon as the hpt turns positive to make sure the pregnancy is ok.
If your tubes are blocked from the PID, surgical removal of the scarring may help, but only a small proportion of the time. It would be more recommendable that you get IVF to try and get pregnant and you would have an extraordinarily high pregnancy rate.
