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

Hi Anonymous,
I am really intrigued how this happened. I am curious, where did the mature egg, which was released by your one remaining ovary, travel and how did the sperm get to it to fertilize it. Then, how did the fertilized egg travel to the uterus to implant and develop.
If you could speak with your gynecologist and provide us with the explanation, I know I would greatly appreciate it. I am always willing to say when I am incorrect. But, also very eager to learn something new. Just need a valid and plausible explanation.

Hello Maryann,
September 28, 2014 - 10:34pmThe doctor has not said how this has happened and seems very non-plussed by my pregnancy. The nurses involved are all amazed however. I have discussed this at length with my SO and the only explanation that we can come up with is that an egg produced by my remaining ovary used the tube which used to connect to my other (missing) ovary to travel.
Sorry for the delay in replying I hope this makes sense!

i thought u said that u have no tubes so how can it travel with a tube when u dont have any tubes to be used? ive also had my tubes removed after my youngest was born he is 4 months now and i think i might be pregnant again because my breasts are sore and im having sickness in the morning not throwing up just feels like im gonna get sick

I should add that it is now 18 weeks and all seems well so far (except for awful morning sickness, which has now passed). I am soon due my 20 week scan and am keen to find out the gender!

A ruptured appendix destroyed the ovary on my right side and damaged the tube on my left side. The remains of the right ovary were removed during surgery. After trying for 2 years to get pregnant naturally the doctor has enrolled us for IVF. Due to fluid in the damaged tube leading to the remaining ovary I underwent a procedure to put clips on the tube. A week ago I was due to start medication for the IVF however my period did not arrive. I put it down to nerves - seemingly not uncommon. Yesterday I went to the assisted conception unit and after a scan and test they broke the news that I am 5 weeks pregnant! I don't know how but shows that you should never give up trying or hope!
