Anyone able to get pregnant naturally without falliopian tubes?

[Trying79]

I was curious if anyone has gotten pregnant naturally without their tubes? I had mine removed a year ago due to scare tissue, the doctor said the only way to get pregnant is IVF..

I don't know...but seems like the tubes would be an important part of conception. Once the egg is released, it travels down the tube where it's met by the sperm. The sperm swim up the tube to meet the egg. Fertilization happens in the tube... so from what I know I don't think it's possible to conceive naturally without them?

I'm sorry you had yours removed. Are you able to do IVF?

I think it would depend on if they closed up the holes to the uterus or not. You could ask your doctor if they were sealed. If so, then it's not possible. But if they left them open I would say it's within the realm of possibility.

Hi Trying, your doctor is correct. Without fallopian tubes, IVF will be the only way to conceive. Best of luck to you!

I agree with blessedlife. The tubes are vital for conception to take place naturally. The egg has to go into the tube to get fertilized by sperm, and the tubes are then what moves the egg down into the uterus. With no tubes at all, none of this can occur. Some women have conceived after being told they had blocked tubes, but in that case the blockage was either only temporary or they were mistakenly diagnosed as blocked. But if you have no tubes at all, there is no chance without IVF.

The good news is that with IVF, your chances should be the same as if you had tubes as long as you have no other issues.
