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

Sorry you have been through so many miscarriages. What a nightmare. Good luck, and hope to hear some good news from you. I'm turning 40 next month, want to trade? :)

This is an AMAZING topic. It gives me such hope. I had my tubes tied April 2010 after a sexually & emotionally abusive 10 year marriage ended. Now I have found the most AMAZING man who does not have any children, and I regret having had my tubes tied. I found out a few weeks ago that I conceived Christmas Eve, it was a Christmas Miracle! However, it ended in an eptopic pregnancy. When the surgeon went in to remove the pregnancy he also had to remove the rest of my fallopian tube and saw that the other tube was so damaged from the tubal ligation that it was also removed. Now I have no tubes at all. BUT, I feel pregnant again. My breasts are sore, I am urinating all the time and I am hungry all the time again. I didn't think it was possible to get pregnant with NO fallopian tubes, but now I have some hope and definately need to take a pregnancy test.
It's amazing to see that I'm not the only one who has had this sort of experience. Thank you all for posting your stories!

hi all... im 27,after having my 3rd son, in october 2006,during the c-section i was sterilised, i had some tube removed, the ends burnt and tied...in april 2010 last year i found out i was pregnant, i was 9 weeks gone, when i had my scan they found a fetus in my womb with no heartbeat but also a healthy baby outside my womb...(ectopic) during my operation i was sterilised the 2nd time removing over 4cm of tubes my doctor said, the most they could take or i could have to start taking the HRT, 3 months later i had to go back for some test at the hospital i had a scan where they push dye through the uterus to see if the tubes are blocked....or in my case see if my tubes are sealed, it was the worst 2 weeks of my life waiting for the results.. and then my doctor told me that the dye was still spilling out which means if the dye can get out the egg can get in.. he told me i was very fertile, i still dont understand it myself... my doctor has offered for me to have the rest of my tubes removed but he doesnt see the point as he thinks il be in the same situation 6 months down the line... the reason i got sterilised in the first place was so i would never have the worry of being pregnant again, and now am back to the beginning of being careful all over again, im very blessed with the 3 children i have, which 1 of them is disabled, so my life is so busy........ so not everything is 100% but 99.9% of women that get sterilised will not get pregnant and those 1% will.....

Hi, I know these are old postings but I'm looking for an answer... I had my left fallopian tube removed in 2009 for an ectopic pregnancy. I just went for an ultrasound last week and Im 7 weeks pregnant!!!! The ultrasound tech as well as my doctors were completely baffled...and still are... because I ovulated from my left ovary for this pregnancy. So all you whoo say natural pregnancy after removal of tubes is impossible.... its obviously not. Just very rare. Anyway my doctors cant explain it. Looks like a miracle. But I would LOVE input as to how this is even remotely possible!! Thanks.

Were your doctors able to tell you if part of your fallopian tube (that was not removed) either grew or healed itself? What did the tech see on your ultrasound as far as the health of your fallopian tube?

My right fallopian tube and ovary are fine. My left fallopian tube is not there. But I ovulated from the left ovary for this pregnancy. Which is why everyone is confused...I actually just found out it is possible but is about a 1 percent chance of happening without a fallopian tube where the egg can be fertilized... hmmm who knew?

I'm 32 years old and lost both of my felopian tubes after my 4th etopic pregnancy...was to be twins but one was etopic. Even though the other egg made it to my uterus, the ansthetics from removing the other on my tube, deceased the other one. I was told that i wouldn't get pregnant now with out IVF...so my question is- can a woman get pregnant naturally at all? Is there any chance? What ever happen to the girl that wrote she became pregnant that way? Thanks!!!
