Hi everyone, I was looking for a site like this to ask for some advice to my problem. I am newly married to my husband and we’ve been trying to form a family for like 7 months now but with really bad luck; I got removed one of my tubes because it was totally blocked and it couldn’t be saved and now I just have one tube. It’s been really hard on us, we don´t want to give up but I don´t know what to do. Has someone been in a similar situation?

We had fertility problems. I would ask your gyno if he/she can refer you to a fertility specialist now. Sometimes they make you try for a whole year first, but sometimes they won't if they know there's a condition like you only having one tube.

I had completely different issues than you (PCOS, endometriosis, and a uterine septum), but once I saw a fertility specialist, I started getting results. I had to have surgery, takes lots of meds, and self-administer way too many shots, but now we have 3 kids!

Hugs to you and positive vibes!

It's quite an old post and I assume you've already found a solution to your problem or at least been referred to a fertility specialist who's gonna help you get pregnant. But after reading your post I couldn't help but write a few words to give you love and strength. My problem is totally different than your's though! Not having a tube certainly reduces your chance of success in a natural attempt to exactly the half of what's possible... but then getting pregnant is absolutely possible. I'm not sure what your consulting specialist did put you onto but even if they try medications first and you're still on it stay strong and optimistic. The medications only boost your ovulation you see to improve your chances and it's usually an SOP to try out a couple of medicated solution rather than heading straight to assisted fertility. Also, I'd say if you have a chance... skip IUI and opt for IVF directly when it comes to assisted fertility, if at all. The IUI does not circumvent the involvement of tubes while IVF just pick the eggs directly from ovary on ovulation so you basically don't need any tubes for it. I hope it doesn't have to get to it though and medications can help you suitably. Mentioned it because some clinics stick to their SOPs stringently, and try a IUI session depending on your one active and fully functional tube but that time can be saved. Wish you all the luck in the world to concieve soon.:smile:

@paola, Hey Hun, *hugs* I know what you are going through, things can be pretty difficult emotionally at this point. You still have many chances to conceive naturally. Just don't give up hoping. Do you think IUI can be a good option for you. It will keep you from taking any more risks. A friend of mine had similar problem. Well, not almost similar, even worse. Doctors had to remove both her tubes. Both her pregnancies were tubal. I suggested her to give up trying for a few months and research about IUI. Her doctor believed that she could still be a mom but only through IUI. She had her treatment done abroad because it was still much expensive in the US. She is now pregnant and her baby is due in December. I am very happy for her. I believe this could be an option for you as well.

its sad that you had such a bad time. But you can get pregnant even with single tube if You have at least one functioning ovary, You have monthly menstrual cycles, Your remaining fallopian tube is healthy. Please visit to a doctor or clinic for more details.

Hello, dear! Do not be sad with what you are experiencing now because it is not you only who are into this kind of situation. Many have overcome this challenge and you should be one of those. Do not give your self a stress. Talk to your doctor about other solutions of having a child if your case about infertility is final. Wish you all the best!

Oh dear, Lots of love for you. It seems that you are not native. you have to be very strong in the situation. You are really brave that you are facing all this. I am also infertile. I am having all the treatments to resolve the problem. But nothing is working on me. This is the reason I am here. I am only 30 years old. I also have the PCOS background. Which recovered with the treatment. Should we go for surrogacy? Please guide me.

Hey dear, Its very sad to know about your present situation but there is no need to feel so stressed or down as you have many options by which you will conceive as you have one fallopian tube open so there still have a chance to conceive. You need to concern the fertility experts. They will definitely guide you better. You know 1 of my friends suffered from the exact situation and she got the treatment from the clinic located in Ukraine and got very good facilities at very reasonable rates and now she is 6 months pregnant. Hope you will also got the good news very soon.Good Luck!!!

I am planning for surrogacy now. I find this method easy and safe to become a mother. I am trying for a baby for 12 years. This was the long and painful journey. We both love kids. We started trying for a baby right after our marriage. We have a strong love marriage. We know a baby can create a strong bond between parents. This is why we are here. We have visited a fertility clinic. That is in Ukraine. We personally visited that. It seems we do not need to wait for a new baby now.

Hello, dear. As usual it takes more than one year to get pregnant. But in your case I would recommend you to consult the fertility specialist. I also had one of my tubes removed. My doctor kept saying me that I will get pregnant soon, we just have to TTC. To say truth, I regret I didn’t consult one more specialist. I was just wasting my time. After 6 years TTC my husband was so angry and frustrated. He has taken me to the reproduction center because we had no time to wait. I was 35 at that moment. Unfortunately, we are not getting younger. As a result we found out that we have 0 chances to conceive. But, anyway, we became parents with the help of surrogacy. Thank God my eggs were still valid. Don’t repeat my mistake. I guess it’s time to ask for help.:nerd:

Hi Paola,
I've been here too. I still am. Mine is not a case of blocked tubes or anything though. I just have not had any luck conceiving since my MC two years ago. My GP has referred me to a fertility expert but I do not feel like it. I would advice you to not wait too long before seeking treatment hoping that you will conceive naturally. That will just kill your spirits like it has done me. Ask your gynae to refer you to an expert. GL to you

Hi there. How are you? I can undertsand your feelings. IVF is the best option for you, I think. I have 2 naturally conceived child. For the 3rd baby, I opted IVF due to various consiquences. IVF was successful to give me a baby girl. Now I am a mother of 2 baby girls and 1 boy. After the removal of tube IVF may be the best option for you. You may go for adoption if your husband agrees on you. Loving a deserving child is the best thing, for sure. I hope you become a mother soon. I wish every mother could become a mother. Good luck. Take care of your diet and health.

You might have only one fallopian tube if you have had pelvic surgery for an infection, a tumour or a past ectopic pregnancy. Occasionally, some women are born with only one tube. However, you may still be able to get pregnant with only one tube if you have at least one functioning ovary. Even you can get pregnant with only one ovary and no fallopian tubes. If present, sperm cells will fertilize the egg in the fallopian tube, before it enters the uterus. If a woman is missing one of her ovaries, the remaining ovary will continue to ovulate each month, making pregnancy possible. Continue to have sex around the time of your ovulation, ideally a few days before. So, don't worry if you have one fallopian tube. You will get pregnant soon. Best of luck.

hey! if you have had one o your tubes tied, and you have also bee trying for that long, there is a really big chance that it will be difficult for you to concieve. had the same problem, i had my tube tied after anaccident, and there was a part of my uterus that had to be removed too. i couldnt have a baby, it want physically possible for me to do so. my husband and i didnt give uo though,we tried to find some other way for us to have our children. we eventually did. my husband found the webiste of a ukrainina clinic that offers surrogacy, along with egg donors . it was the best in ukraine, and it was completely state of the art. we felt like our dreams were coming true! we got in touch immediately, and we were directed thorugh the whole procedure. at first we were kind of nervous , but the staff made us feel very much at ease, and we felt very comfortable. i was even able to donate my own eggs and we had a baby that was biologically ours too. even if we had used a donor, i would have loved her the same, but i do feel really happy knowing that she is mine in every sense of the word. i feel over the moon when people tell me that she looks just like me when i was a baby, and that she has the same eyes as me. it makes me feel so proud and happy! this clinic helped us complete our family, and i am sure that you will too! best of luck!

Hope is everything

Hi, you came on the right forum to talk about your situation. We all are here to listen and advise you the best way possible. As you are telling you are just married for 7 months, that's not a very long time and conceiving can take time. You should at least be contented that you are still young. Well, my brother's wife living in Cape Town has TTC and now she is 30 years old, she conceived after 7 years of her marriage, so don't lose expectation. The best age to conceive is before 40 years old as after it many complications start to occur. Even if you are not satisfied, consult your doctor and go through some fertility tests.

Hey Dear Paola! How are you holding up? I can understand that how hard it can be for you. Further and more! I want you to be stronger than ever! I know what it's like for now! Well, I think you should get into observation under an OBs. Well, your case is complicated though but, I guess there is a chance of conceiving through one tube working. So, yes! It's not normal...But, you still have a chance left to get pregnant! I think you should try conceiving through the advice of an infertility specialist! So, yes! I think you shouldn't give up right now! You must be young now as well... So, be strong and conscious! Stay blessed!

Unfortunately, I can relate to you Paola, because I too had blocked fallopian tubes. I also was very disturbed and stressed at that time. But thankfully, my DH & in-laws support me throughout. Let me tell you, dear, you can conceive with one tube, it takes time but results are sure unless you have other health issues. You need to find a good doctor or clinic, the results depend upon clinics too that what type of medication or treatment they are giving you. I got treatment from Biotexcom, you can visit them if you want to, otherwise, there are many more clinics who are providing treatments for these types of problems. Don't be disheartened dear, you can get pregnant, I guess there is no age issue with you. So, give yourself a new start, find a trustworthy clinic. Hope this helps you.

I can understand your situation how you are feeling at this time because we are in the same boat. I am also trying to conceive two years ago but nothing happens. I don't understand it's my bad luck or some other reason. Now I and my husband decided to get treatment. But I didn’t found any trustworthy clinic for this yet. I have heard about the biotexcom through many forums. Is this really trustworthy and licensed clinic with high success rates?
 
#22 ·
Hi Paola! I'm sorry that you have to face this. But dear, this is very common now. 7 months is not a very long time. People keep trying for years and then they succeed. So just lose hope. Stay positive and have patience. You're newly married, don't stress about this or it'll affect your health. If you still have doubts then visit a fertility doctor. The doctor only can tell you what exactly is the problem. Infertility is curable nowadays, like most of them. But sitting home and stressing is not good. I know the time isn't best for you right now, one day it has to be. I wish you make up to the joys of being pregnant. I wish you luck! Stay blessed.

Hey, there I hope you're doing fine. It is said that even if you have one tube you can still conceive. It just needs to be healthy. Also, your AF needs to be monthly as well. Also, you need to have a functioning ovary. However, try for at least a year and if you still are unable to conceive naturally. You should opt for IVF or surrogacy. As these artificial methods would ensure that you are able to conceive. I am sure you both want to be parents however, everything takes time. Being in the same boat I can totally understand that. Just ensure that you visit the right clinic. Initially, I was unsure about the process myself travelled to a clinic abroad. Where they first did my checkup and then recommended a treatment. So the clinic which has experienced doctors does really help. If you need any more help feel free to ask. Sending baby dust your way and lots of wishes.

Hey there. I hope that you're doing good. Firstly, welcome to the forum. You chose a really good platform to share your feelings. You'll only get love and support here. Okay so, I'm really sorry for your tube removal. It's really a heart-wrenching thing. You're facing it at the early time of your marriage. It must be really difficult for you. As every woman dreams of having children. Its the ultimate goal of every couple. Every woman wants to have it. And then getting things complicated is something that breaks one's heart. You're really strong that you went through this. Well, I also had tube blockage. But I didn't get it removed. Actually, it was blocked excessively. But due to some other issues, I was forbidden by the doc to take any steps like surgery in this case. I couldn't conceive. But I never left hope. I wanted to go for IVF. Though my doc told me that it won't work out. I still went through the whole process with my one tube. It could even prove fatal to me. But I wanted to have a baby so bad. The procedure failed, eventually. I went for surrogacy to Ukraine then. I must mention here that the clinic I found was probably the best of all. It gave safe procedures. And kind advice too. I was happy to see the complete documentation too. Well, I think that you should recommend your doc for your situation. I waited for so long with my one tube to get pregnant naturally. When nothing worked, then I went for assistance. So try discussing this thing with your doc. If you're going to surrogacy, then I must recommend you this clinic. I hope that things get better for you. Take care of yourself. Much love.

Hey. Don't worry. This does not mean you are completely infertile. You might face trouble conceiving. But this does not mean it might never happen to you. It had gotten challenging. You can keep trying to conceive. IVF could solve this problem for you. You can research more about IVF. Good luck.

Hello paola mcgee,
First, let me take this opportunity to welcome you here. We are all glad to have you. Feel free to share whatever comments or problems you may be having, and I am sure you will get helped. Second, I want to say that it is unfortunate that you had your tube removed. However, this does not stop you from having a family in whatever way. I am confident that the remaining tube should be able to help you have as many children as possible. My only worry is that you have not yet conceived even after seven months. It means that there is something wrong and you need to visit a fertility doctor. You need to go through tests to help determine the nature of the problem so that you can start treatment immediately. In the meantime, I would also like you to think outside the box. In this time and era, technology allows us to conceive and give birth to babies even without the two tubes. So it should make you worry less and remain confident that you will one day be a mother. IUI, IVF, and surrogacy are some of the options at your disposals. In your case, you can benefit from IUI and IVF. Maybe what you need to do is to let your husband go for tests so that if there is any problem with his sperm, then IUI could be resorted to. It entails injecting cleaned sperm in your remaining fallopian tube to enhance chances of fertilization. The method has 70 percent chance of being successful.

Hello,
So sorry to hear about you, if your one tube is removed, there is less chances of getting pregnant. If all the conditions turned positive you can get pregnant. Visit fertility expert who will guide regarding infertility treatments like IUI, IVF, etc. IUI is a type of artificial insemination technique where sperm is directly placed in the womb. In IVF treatment woman's egg and sperms are fused together in the laboratory for fertilization and fertilized egg is transferred into the womb for further growth.
Stay positive and keep trying is only the solution for you.
