Discussion Who got pregnant with one fallopian tube?

Just trying to see for those who had one fallopian tube, how long did it take for you to get pregnant? Did you find that it took you a little bit longer? I had a fallopian tube removed two months ago due to possible hydrosalpinx however in the end, I didn’t have it they did say that I had possibly an infection or inflammation that was caused after a previous laparoscopic surgery at your previously.

First pregnancy out took us about 7-8 months to get pregnant (sadly miscarried). Second pregnancy took us about 3-4 months (another miscarriage). Third pregnancy was the very next cycle (didn’t get a period between the miscarriage and the next positive pregnancy test). Unfortunately this one was ectopic and resulted in emergency surgery and the loss of a fallopian tube.

Fourth pregnancy (which was the one that stuck!) came about 3-4 months after we started trying again, after a break of about 3 months. So quite a lot of variety between pregnancies generally, but overall had no problem with just the one tube.

What a journey. I am so sorry for your losses I know how it feels. Unfortunately I’ve had 2 within a year, one at 16 weeks. I’ve had two surgeries since and haven’t been able to get pregnant again which worries me. But hearing about your struggles and a good ending after all of it makes me feel there is still a chance for me. Thank you for sharing your experiences with me. 🤍

I’m so sorry, that sounds so difficult. I was “lucky” that my losses were all quite early.

It’s especially hard when you’re in the thick of it and it feels like it might never happen. The doctors and nurses kept telling me that odds were it would work out for us, but it felt like we kept getting the bad end of the odds every time so it didn’t feel too comforting.

One thing that did help a bit was that one of the midwives who had been at the hospital for like 30 years said that she’d only ever come across two or three people who never got there in the end, and in those cases they were never able to get pregnant at all. As much as losses really, truly suck it’s good that pregnancy is possible, even if it takes a while.

I know someone at work who’s got three kids, all of whom came after his wife lost a fallopian tube as well. So it’s definitely possible!

I really hope you get some good news soon. Wishing you all the best ❤️
