Not sure if you read any of my earlier posts so I don't know if this question was to me. But, if it was: yes, I have NO tubes, 1 ovary and I got pregnant naturally with my 4th child. No, they didn't all happen this way. First two pregnancies were "normal". When my 2nd child was an infant, I had a cyst on my left ovary and when it was removed, I lost my left tube and ovary. Then, I got pregnant with my 3rd. Because of scar tissue from the surgery, this was ectopic and ruptured. Then I was told I couldn't have any more (naturally). But my doctor at the time didn't remove the damaged tube. Three years after that, I was pregnant AGAIN with another ectopic pregnancy. My new doctor did the emergency surgery and finally removed the remaining damaged tube. Now, being left with 1 ovary and no tubes, I couldn't get pregnant naturally. Not wanting to end my child-bearing years on such a string of heart ache, we decided to do IVF one time. Being in my mid-30's at the time and having one ovary, we knew the odds weren't great. But, sure enough, it worked after 1 cycle. My 3rd child just turned 2 this past week. WELL, much to my surprise, after being a month late this past fall, I was indeed pregnant! Doctors were concerned about where the pregnancy was at (uterus or abdomen). So, did the sperm get out to the egg or the egg make its way in to the uterus. Well, my baby girl is in the uterus safe and sound. And I'm currently in my 32 week of pregnancy. So, while maybe remote, miracles DO indeed happen!
