I lost my left tube about 3 months ago. This is our first cycle TTC #1 after our loss. And I find myself worrying that with only 1 tube now, it'll be hard for us to get pg. I'm already thinking there is no way our first try will work because what are the odds that I Oed from the right side on our first time trying, right? I know that doctor has said it doesn't seem to be a problem for other couples who have only 1 tube, but I'd still like to hear from others themselves, you know? So do any of you ladies out there have 1 tube? Are you worried as well? Or have you been able to pg with just 1 tube in the past? Any info is greatly appreciated. Doc said even if they left side were to O, the egg might be picked up by the right tube, so I'm hoping my chances aren't now 50% if that is in fact the case. I really want to hope. Thanks for your time, ladies.

She was pg 2 weeks later? WOW! I'm so happy for her it gives me hope. I want to get pg soon, and I know we're fertile so I'm hoping we don't have to wait too long.

I don't have any experience with that but I do have

The doctor was pretty upset...she still had staples when they conceived!

Hi there! I have one tube left open from an ectopic back in April, I was also recently diagnosed with PCOS so I don't ovulate on my own. One thing my doc is doing to hopefully help me along is giving me 100mg clomid to induce ovulation, which actually usually makes me ovulate from both sides so my chances each month are about that of a woman with both tubes. I definitely still have hope it'll happen, so try to keep your chin up as best you can! Good luck!

Wow, yeah I know my doctor told us we could start in 2 weeks, but I know I was worried BDing would open my incisions. We waited a while.

And thank you ladies for the replies. It helps to know I'm not alone and it is possible to get pg with only 1 tube. I wish us all luck and lots of sticky dust

My girlfriend is about to give birth to her only daughter, other two kids are boys, and she only had one tube and was riddled with fibroid tumors. Don't give up hope. It can and will happen. Good luck.

I have had 1 ectopic but didn't loose my tube... BUT my mother in law after her first had an ectopic and loss a tube... She then went on to have 6 more kids! With one tube! One being my wonderful husband haha there is plenty of hope!

I did not have an ectopic, but I had tons of testing done because I had four losses, three of which were consecutive months (early losses). The HSG test (where they look at the tubes) came back that my left one was blocked, the dye was not getting through it.

I have been pregnant 7 times and never try more than a month before getting a positive. It is fairly obvious I am fertile! Lol. The losses I had were due to an undetected clotting issue, not the tubes. So yeah, having one tube does not doom you to trying for a long time. It is unexplained how I can ovulate and conceive month-after-month, when I should not be able to get an egg through the left side.

But a close friend of mine has one tube and one that was incredibly damaged from an early childhood accident. She was told she would never have children naturally and would likely need to either adopt or get a surrogate, since her tubes/uterus were not in "good condition." She is due with her first child, a son, in January He is growing well and no one has any idea how he even made it into her uterus.

Things have a funny way of happening. Good luck mama!!

Thanks ladies, you have given me hope! I worry that having just one tube and being 31 1/2 will doom me I know I have a chance I just don't want it to take years to get my little bean. I think I'm out for this cycle, our first TTC after the loss, since I feel AF cramps coming on, 4 days until she is due. But I'm hoping it's only because I Oed from the wrong side this time, and hoping next cycle I'll O from the right side and I'll be able to get pg then.

Lurking over here. I found out when I delivered my daughter that I have a unicornate uterus and only one tube. Before I had her I had a m/c at 7wks. So it is definitely still possible!! GL
