Can you get pregnant after a ruptured fallopian tube?
If the tubes are badly damaged or remain blocked even after surgery, a woman may be able to get pregnant through in vitro fertilization (IVF) (see ASRM fact sheet titled In vitro fertilization [IVF]).
Can a ruptured fallopian tube cause infertility?
In the event of severe damage of the tube and need for its removal, the patient’s reproductive potential with no functional fallopian tubes will be severely compromised. If this is the case, fertility treatments like in vitro fertilization will be the only way to achieve pregnancy.
Can you get pregnant without any fallopian tubes?
Usually an egg has to travel from the ovaries into the fallopian tube to get fertilized, before continuing down to the uterus. Without the tubes it should be nearly impossible to get pregnant, unless the woman uses in-vitro fertilization, which Kough says she didn’t do.
How does scar tissue in fallopian tube affect pregnancy?
The fertilized egg then travels down the fallopian tube to the uterus where it will implant, resulting in pregnancy. When a blockage is present in the fallopian tubes, it makes conception difficult or impossible by preventing sperm from reaching a mature egg or preventing a fertilized egg from reaching the uterus.
How long does it take to get pregnant with one fallopian tube?
Pregnancy is absolutely possible with one fallopian tube, assuming you and the solo tube are healthy. In fact, as many as 85\% of women who are at optimal pregnancy age (22 – 28) and who only have one tube conceive a baby within two years of trying consistently – even after an ectopic pregnancy.

Can scarring of the fallopian tubes be fixed?
If your fallopian tubes are blocked by small amounts of scar tissue or adhesions, your doctor can use laparoscopic surgery to remove the blockage and open the tubes. If your fallopian tubes are blocked by large amounts of scar tissue or adhesions, treatment to remove the blockages may not be possible.
