ask: Can I still get pregnant without fallopian tubes?
I had my fallopian tubes removed due to multiple etopic pregnancies. I still have my ovaries, so can I still get pregnant?

Hi - thanks for your question. I am sorry to read you had to have your tubes removed due to ectopic pregnancies.
As long as you have your uterus and ovaries you may be able to get pregnant via IVF treatments but it would have to be IVF (in vitro) because your own eggs cannot travel without your fallopian tubes.

I had BOTH my tubes removed... Just took a pregnancy test because I'm over a week late.....and it's positive. This is crazy!
May 26, 2009 - 1:42pmIs this really true? I had both my tubes removed due to multiple ectopic pregnancies. My husband and I have not used birth control for 5 years and nothing...
June 23, 2009 - 6:35pmHi,
No, you are not able to become pregnant (without assistance, such as IVF) if you do not either of your fallopian tubes. If you still have your ovaries, you may still ovulate, but the egg has no means of traveling to your uterus (via fallopian tubes).
Thanks for your question, to clarify for other women!

March 5, 2011 - 5:09pmHi (to anon, May 26, 2009 message),
It is now a month later, after your original post, and I'm wondering what the outcome of your pregnancy is? Did you have IVF or other means of becoming pregnant? Were there any complications with fully removing both of your fallopian tubes? What have your doctor(s) said to you?
Hope to hear back from you, with an update!
June 23, 2009 - 8:06pmWow, well that is awesome for you. How far along are you now? How did the eggs travel without the tubes? My husband and I have been married for 3 years, and have had monagamious unprotected sex, and I have never even been close to pregnant. I was told by my doctor that unless we have an IVF procedure, we will not have children. Anyway, congratulations and let me know how it goes.

October 13, 2009 - 9:10amHi my name is carnita. I live in Ga. and i have had the same thing happen to me. i had a miscarriage then two eptopic pregnancies. I have lost both of my tubes also. I found a place in new york that does it for $5000 if you make under 50,000 in your household per year. This is the cheapest i have found. I wrote it down somewhere but don't have it on hand. You can reply if you want the info. I will find it and you can look it up.
