I had my fallopian tubes removed due to multiple etopic pregnancies. I still have my ovaries, so can I still get pregnant?

I posted my previous story about my tubes etc and undergoing surgery and I discovered just before Xmas I was pregnant again. I did go on to miss carry 10 days later but it was in the right place finally so our hopes are rising we will succeed. Good luck to all those trying x

Hello, I have no tubes and only my right ouvers, and its possible I can still get pregnant? I'm just worry that's all.
January 16, 2013 - 4:36amHello Anonymous,
Without fallopian tubes, you cannot become pregnant unless you undergo in vitro fertilization. You need at least one fallopian tube to conceive naturally. The fallopian tubes carry the egg from the ovary to the uterus. This process is necessary for an egg to be fertilized by a sperm and implanted in the lining of the uterus.

January 16, 2013 - 5:51pmI was one of the lucky ones who got pregnant without Fallopian tubes. However, I lost the baby as I had a missed miscarriage. I thought I was 15 weeks 4 days but it turned out the baby had died at 11Weeks 2 days. I was devastated. I just did a D&C
January 3, 2013 - 4:42pmIn 2010 8 and half years after having my tubes cut and burned, I found out I was 6 wks and 1 day pregnant. Unfortunately, it was carried in my tube. I was rushed from my hospital (which does not have an ob doctor) to Tulsa, ok for emergency sergery. I was 32, with three sons. My husband and I were done having children so we asked that both tubes be removed so we wouldn't have the chance of going through this again. I have pictures from the dr showing before and after my tubes were removed. My husband and I are not wealthy people, we work to pay our bills and support our boys. IVF has always been out of the question, even if we wanted to we couldn't afford it. 2 weeks ago I went to my obgyn and was told I am 8 wks pregnant. NO ONE should ever tell anyone that pregnancy is impossible, because its NOT!! At now 34 and my youngest being 10 this was the last thing I expected or wanted, but our miracle baby will be just as loved as our others. I'm not trying to give anyone false hope, but I'm not going to say it can't happen either because it does.
December 31, 2012 - 3:58pmWell 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!!!!!!!!
October 9, 2012 - 1:16amMy 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. :)

September 21, 2012 - 1:32pmHello ladies. What an interesting forum topic! I actually have an interesting story...I had 5 children and my husband and I decided we were finished FOR SURE! I had a tubal ligation 8 weeks after the delivery of baby 5. The following July (9 months later) I became pregnant with a baby that I just delivered last March. In June, I went in to have both tubes removed. I have to tell you, despite what I've been told, I am very worried I will indeed get pregnant yet again! I was so worried, I did a google on "pregnancy without tubes" which is how I found this thread. Although I believe most stories on here are probably true, I have not found many verifiable stories. In medical journals, there is 2 documented cases in modern history- one lady in Africa who had her tubes tied twice (failed both times) then had her tubes removed(failed again) apparently she became so disheartened with these procedures the hospital never saw her again...lol. Also, a lady who did IVF and failed, but 2 months later conceived naturally (ending in an ectopic). So while the body can be amazing, obviously this is VERY, VERY rare! If it happens to me, I'll gladly come back and post about it! Good luck to all those who are ttc!
August 30, 2012 - 7:57pmI've been reading some of the questions on here n understand where a lot of you are coming from.
August 28, 2012 - 4:21amI found out about my infertility when I was 27 due to an STD my ex gave me,my Fallopian tubes were badly damaged/scar and the fertility doctor said I would need Ivf if I ever wanted to become pregnant. I am now 33 and really wanna become pregnant but it is very expensive and my insurance won't cover anything,not even my testing my fertility doctor said that I would have to get retested for everything again and my insurance wont cover a pre existing condition and testing would cost almost 5,000 dollars. I felt like my someone punched me in the stomach. I'm so depressed and constantly in tears. I just don't know what to do anymore, I'm not looking for pity or anything just some understanding all my friends don't understand where I'm coming from cause nearly all of them have kids..
I'm married to a good man but I don't feel like he understands what I go threw sometimes.
I try and tell myself that things wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have kids but deep down inside I I'm just lying to myself....
