Fallopian tube removal

[Hannabanana2021]

Hi everyone. I'm looking for positive stories on successful pregnancies with one Fallopian tube after Ectopic.
I had surgery 2 days ago after rupture.
All my focus is going into getting well and fit again and the last thing on my mind is trying again. But there is a lingering thought in the back of mind regarding the future which I think is normal.
One day the day will come when I feel emotionally and physically ready to try again and all I'm reading is about reoccurring losses after surgery. I'm hoping to find some positivity in this post.

Hi sorry you've gone through this. If your surgery was straight forward and you have no other issues then you have a very good chance on conceiving naturally it just might take a little longer. I know of 3 people who have had a tube removal and gone on to have children. I on the other hand had an ectopic which was also a rupture, internal bleeding and needed emergancy surgery. They removed 1 tube and I was told then and there my other tube was damaged and said there's a possibility it could close and I also had alot of scar tissue which was attaching my tube to my bowel. In the end I decided to also remove this damaged tube and went for ivf instead, only because i was told my chances were very low. As my tubes were my only issue ivf was a success and I had my beautiful baby. I know my story isnt exactly positive but I just wanted you to know you are not alone and there are many options out there and as I said I know 3 people who have conceived. If your doctor is happy your surgery went OK with no ther problems then you have every chance at conceiving again but for now take care of yourself and make sure your ready before starting again. Good luck.

I had similar, ectopic tube removal.

Tried to conceive 2 years laster and had a miscarriage and they later I was pregnant with my ds.

Don't be disheartened x

Hi just 2 say I've had 2 ectopics (one tube removal) and following those I have had 2 healthy DC. Try not to worry, it can and does happen. Look after yourself

I'm so sorry you have to go through this. I had a ruptured tube, and quite a bit of internal bleeding. It was a horrible shocking experience and it took me a while to come to terms with. Please be very kind to yourself.

This happened to me in Feb time, I was pregnant with a successful pregnancy by August. So around 6 months later.

I was terrified I would never be able to get pregnant again, but I think the chances are still quite high of being able too.

Rest up, it gets easier day by day x

One of my friends had her second child after losing a tube with an ectopic pregnancy. IIRC there’s some weird science where your remaining tube can sometimes pick up the egg from the other ovary, will see if I can find a link…

My first pregnancy was ectopic and my tube removed.
I've had 2 successful pregnancies since then both conceived within 2 months.
The forums at www.ectopic.org.uk/talk/ were my saviour - both for the healing from the loss, and when trying again.
Look after yourself. You need to heal and grieve xxx

I only have 1 after awful blockage/cyst and my body just adapted and I had a further 2 dc. You tend to ovulate from alternate sides but where there’s only one tube your body can somehow adapt and even use one tube both sides. You’ll be fine I’m sure

Thank you everyone.
It's not so much the conception part it's the fear of reoccurrence for me. I also had a chemical pregnancy the time before Ectopic. I have 3 children that I've conceived no problem so it's all come as a huge shock 😰 the surgeon said my 2 ovaries and remaining tube look fine. But I felt rather let down by my hospital experience. I feel it was drawn out unnecessary by the hospital. I was diagnosed ectopic about a week before the surgery and had Methotrexate. At home I dropped to the floor in severe pain and the ambulance took 2 hours to arrive. After arrival at hospital they said the pains are normal and dosed me up on every painkiller you've ever heard of for 2 more days on nil by mouth starving before my constant crying out in pain lead them to scan finding the rupture and internal bleeding and performing the emergency surgery and removing 1.5 litres of blood leaking into my pelvis. A day after my surgery I could hear the nurses getting rather stressed over the ward being full and needing more beds and I was discharged and told to wait in the early pregnancy unit on the most uncomfortable chair because they needed my bed. Watching the pregnant woman walk past while I'm sat there in so much pain from surgery. Not much information was given about aftercare or anything else regarding recovery. I felt shoved out the door. I'm sure I'll recover emotionally eventually but it's made me feel really discouraged about any future :(
I don't really know why I am going through it all but it feels good to type it up and get it out.
