My name is Heather,I'm 28yrs. old. I suffer from PCOS,Endometriosis,Depression,Severe abdominal pain,and PID.My fiancee and i just recently lost our 2nd baby.All together starting at age 19 I've lost 12 children. May of last year we lost our first baby,the doctors had to rush me into the OR immediately because I had severe internal bleeding.They ended up removing my right fallopian tube,but leaving my right ovary,and the leftside.Two weeks ago,I had ovarian cysts rupture,we found out last minute before being released that I was pregnant. After extensive testing,they realized I had an ectopic pregnancy in my left fallopian tube,along with some internal bleeding.I was taken into the OR a few short hours later,only to come out without my left ovary and fallopian tube.So now I'm only left with my cervix,uterous,and right fallopian tube.I was then told the ONLY way to get pregnant would be through in vitro,surrogacy,or adoption.Adoption is completely out of the question,NOT because I don't want to do it but because it is very expensive. surrogacy and in vitro,the same.I feel lesser of a woman because of everything i've had happen.And seeing the scars daily makes my depression worse.I have my moments where i'm "OK",but in all reality i am not OK.I just feel totally lost anymore and not sure where to turn for help in dealing with this.Counselling is in route,but I can talk for free to just about anyone.Make sense? What I'd like to do is figure out a way for the doctors to implant "fake" fallopian tubes in me so I can achieve my ultimate goal in being a mother.I've done a little research but I keep coming to a dead end.I just feel at loss for words now.but i know I'm not the only one out here with these issues.

I know how you feel I have one tube left because of tubal pregnancy and the other one is blocked have both ovaries went thru multiple surgeries to help get tube unblocked and no luck..right now I'm facing a hysterectomy because of pain and some other issues and I'm only 27...IvF is way to expensive and so is adoption So I'm guessing I will probably never have children..This was all years ago with no luck of having one on our (we didn't stop trying) but no luck

Hi [email protected],
Sorry to hear this, I know this all must not be easy for you or your husband. Thanks for sharing your story with us. Hope here you can find answers to your questions and your story help others in the same situation. Like I mentioned in your previous post. If you were left with one ovary and uterus, you would still be able to conceive. But, because you had both fallopian tubes removed, it's impossible to conceive on your own. Because your eggs would not be able to travel without your fallopian tubes. IVF would be the only way to be able to conceive. I've attached a link on IVF.
