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

I had my tubes cut and burned in 2009. Ended up with a ectopic in 2011 which I miscarried. When hormone levels dropped to normal they removed both my tubes in March of 2011. Then in 2014 i got diagnosed with cervical cancer and had half my cervix removed August 14, 2014. Just found out last week I am pregnant. Naturally pregnant.

Wow. That's awesome. I have a question. Back in 2009 I had a tubal li ation where they put clamps on my tubes. Then recently had them cut out because they were causing me problems then had an ablation cause of heavy periods. I was wondering if its still possible to become pregnant if your fallopian tubes are no longer connected?

I had my tubes removed on Jan. 29th, 2015 and was wondering if it is possible to get pregnant? The doctor that removed them told me that there is a new study that if you have your tubes removed it will help prevent cervical cancer. So I was wondering if anyone knew the answer to my question.

I recently had a procedure done. I explained to the nurse practitioner that I had both fallopian tubes and one ovary removed years ago. She asked if I was infertile. I told her, my assumption is that I am in fact unable to have any more children. She told me that because the tubes are not there doesn't mean I can't get pregnant. I am astonished. I'm in my early 40's and have 4 grown children and 3 grandchildren, seriously don't even know what I would do if I got pregnant this stage in my life. Birth control method here I come.

My 14 y/o daughter had to have 1 tube removed because of a cyst. The Dr. left both ovaries. I didn't understand why she would leave the ovary w/o a tube. She explained that my daughter can still use the eggs from the ovary with out a tube. I said "Naturally?" And the Dr said yes. She was about to draw a diaphragm of how it could work but I said its ok no bother. I should've let her explain because I'm still baffled at how she can still use both ovaries naturally. This is why I'm on this site. We have an appointment in June and I'll have her explain then.

Hello Anonymous,

Please let us know what your daughter's doctor tells you. I am baffled as well. I can understand obtaining an egg to be used in invitro fertilization.

Regards,
Maryann

I'd been trying to conceive for years & after an op to unblock tubes they reblocked and eventually had surgery to remove them. I've had 2 rounds of ivf and thankfully have been successful and had a baby in Oct. It may seem helpless but they can do wonders now & I also had a new procedure called endometrial scratching which can significantly increase your chances.
