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.

Good luck and don't give up hope!
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!
Is 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...
Hi,
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!
Hi (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!
