Well this is my story!!! It may help answer some of people's questions, unfortunately it may also raise some. I had 2 healthy pregnancies and 2 wonderful babies. I then went on to haves first ectopic which ruptured and had to be removed along with my left tube. I then went on to have my 3rd baby. I then had a late miscarriage followed by 2 more ectopics in my right tube. We tried really hard to save my right tube and treated them both with methotrexate. Last week I got called into theatre for a laparoscopy and die test to see how good my right tube was. The most we were hopeing for was a chance the surgeon could repair the tube in some way and have a hope even thou very small. I came out of theatre convinced at 29 I would never be able to conceive naturally again. And this is what happened!!!!!!!!
My surgeon went in and to his amazement my right tube was perfectly healthy no sign of any ectopics ever been there, althou he did find a slightly odd shaped ovary (they thought previously on ultrascans that this was 1 of the ectopic). Couriosity got the better of him so he had a look around. It turns out that when my left tube was removed it was only partialy removed and the bodies/natures pull was getting the eggs throu the void into my left tube and because of the damage already there causing ectopics. There was plenty of photographs to show me. So he off his own back opening himself up to be sued (i hadnt consented to the next bit) went with what he thought I would want and has put a titanium clip on what's left of my left tube making it impossible for me to conceive that side again. So infact I woke with 1 fully functioning healthy right tube. We are still 4 days after surgery still buzzing with excitement it's a better outcome than our wildest dreams could of hoped for. I hope this helps some people. :)
