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

I am 49 years old and my monthly period has not been regular. Both the tubes and the left ovary were removed in 1994 due to tubular pregnancy. The last period was on March 23rd. I had sex on April 5th, 11th and 27th 2011. Would like to know if the delay in period is due to menopause or pregnancy?

Hi Anonymous,
May 4, 2011 - 9:36amAt the age of 49, it likely could be that you are working up to menopause. If you haven't been in to see your gynecologist in a while, now may be the time for a visit to confirm if it is perimenopause, and to ensure that everything is as it should be.
For more information, check out EmpowHER's Perimenopause pages, and this article: The Changes in Perimenopause
Good luck, and let us know how you are doing.

hello. i can't believe i am going through this and i'm still scared and unsure. i have also lost both my tubes (right at age 19 due to large ovarian tumor, left at age 35 due to IVF ectopic). shortly after ectopic, i became pregnant through a frozen embryo transfer and had my son. we've been trying to get pregnant again through IVF for the past year and a half without success. we did our last frozen transfer in february and had a negative beta on 2/23. i started my period 2 days later. it's almost 6 wks later, my period is almost 2 wks late and i have pregnancy symptoms. as a joke i took a upt test today at work and it was positive. had my blood drawn because i was freaking out and my beta was 39,000. ultrasound showed a gestational sac about 4 or 5 wks and a yolk sac but no fetal pole. i'm so confused about what happened. i can't possibly get pregnant on my own without tubes, but the last ivf cycle failed. no one can tell me what happened. i have to repeat my beta on friday to see which way it's trending and repeat my us tomorrow. any input would be appreciated.

Well I have an interesting thing to say, my friend as well as I had both of our tubes removed, she had hers removed in 1997 and in 2000 she found out she was pregnant WITHOUT Invitro after her doctor told her there was absolutely no chance! I Know i know, I was stunned, there is a 1% chance of becomiing pregnant without your fallopian tubes, Each year that 1% chance increases by 1%. So Yes, it is possible to become pregnant naturally without any tubes, but it is rare. Keep hope anything can happen. I will also keep hope for myself... :D

I just read through every post and am loving it! I have lost both of my tubes to ectopic pregnancies, one 5yrs ago, the other in Feb '10. I have also been pregnant 4 other times... so I know what it feels like, and I have a very strong sense that I am pregnant right now. I went to my doctors today for an hcg and will hopefully find out tomorrow. It's early... so we'll see. I'll post when I know either way.
