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

Hello Anonymous,
I am truly sorry to hear what you have gone through and can appreciate how you must be feeling.
How late? If your period is late by at least seven days, start by taking a home pregnancy test. Test in the morning by using the first urine of the day.
Depending on the results, contact your gynecologist. Please keep in touch.

HI,
May 18, 2016 - 6:26amI had an tubal pregnancy when i was very young. I had my sun at age 21 when i was told i could not get pregnant again. After i had my sun i tried getting pregnant again a few years later. I had no hope so i went for IVF first my Dr started by cleaning my tube in hopes of that working. It didn't work so i went to a fertility clinic and i was giving these small pills. I was told to take them 5 days after my period to boost my system. That didn't work. I'm now 36 and i have yet to have another child. I don't normally give up easy but at this point i feel like its a lost cause. Hope this helps, I'm sure i will try again before i turn 40.

Hello Anonymous,
Thank you for sharing your experience. Major point is you had a 50/50 chance of conceiving naturally because you had one (left) remaining fallopian tube.

Not sure where youre getting your info Mary but you can actually still get pregnant without tubes. The opening where the tubes connect to the uterus don't close. It is harder and very uncommon to get pregnant as the tubes pick up the ovulate egg but if the egg makes it way into the opening where the tubes once connect to the uterus it can then be fertilized and a natural and healthy pregnancy can occur. Once again it is very uncommon so if you're trying for a baby there's probably better options but don't think you're 100% covered because that's not the case.

Hello Anonymous,
You should discuss this with your gynecologist, but I would think IVF is your option.
The fallopian tube, also known as the oviduct or uterine tube, is responsible for carrying the egg to the uterus. The fallopian tube has finger-like branches, called fimbriae, which reach out into the pelvic cavity and pick up the released egg. The egg is then brought into the fallopian tube where it will travel to the uterus.
Not only does the fallopian tube collect and transport the egg, it is also the location where fertilization occurs. Sperm cells that enter the reproductive system through the vagina travel to the fallopian tube where they fertilize the egg. The fertilized egg then continues its journey to the uterus where it will implant and safely develop into a baby.
Anonymous, as you know, the ovaries have two main reproductive functions in the body. They produce eggs for fertilization and they produce the reproductive hormones, estrogen and progesterone.
With only a portion of your right ovary remaining, are you still ovulating?

This is 110% correct. I had an ovary removed in 2006 then I had a dual tubal removal in March 2015, thus leaving me with 1 ovary and my uterus....I am now 15 wks pregnant :) it's possible, just pray
