I just wanted to let you know that I am currently pregnant (and got so naturally) with no fallopian tubes... I had my first ovary and tubes removed because of a dermoid cyst that was over-taking the ovary on my left side. Then, 3 years later, I got pregnant, but it was an ectopic pregnancy on the ride side due to scar tissue caused by the earlier surgery. That ruptured and I needed emergency surgery. The doctor told me I could not have children on my own anymore. But she left the mangled tube in my body and 3 years after that, I got pregnant again. Again, it was ectopic and ruptured and once again, I found myself in emergency surgery. This time, (a new doctor) removed that tube and told me without a doubt I could not get pregnant without IVF because I had no tubes (but I did still have 1 ovary). So, I did go through IVF and currently have my 19 month old son. Well, I wasn't feeling well and finally took a pregnancy test (a month late because it really didn't dawn on me that I could be pregnant naturally considering I have no tubes), but sure enough I am pregnant! An ultrasound last week confirmed a pregnancy in my uterus and the heart was beating already, etc. I'm currently in my 10th week and the doctors are completely shocked. So, while I know the odds are that one cannot get pregnant with no tubes, I am proof that it can happen. Although, quite honestly, I don't know how physically it was possible either so I am certainly not trying to convey the message that it can and does happen regularly. That is why I went through IVF to begin with. But, I also realize (especially now) that sometimes someone else may have a different plan for us so yes, never lose faith!!! Good luck! :)
