We went ahead against my Dr's. advice and continued to try and become pregnant. After my second IUI we conceived. But because my only tube was partially damaged it ended up being a tubal pregnancy w/ twins. I lost my only remaining fallopian tube. In Sept we started IVF. I was very wary of IVF - scared, worried, etc... but we ahead knowing it was a 50/50 chance. We became pregnant. I am now 5 weeks pregnant after losing both my fallopian tubes. IVF was invented or used in the beginning for women with tubal issues. For me, I had hydrosalpinx of the fallopian tubes meaning there was absolutely no way to go except IVF. But I was stubborn and wanted to keep even the partially damaged tube AND we did conceived via IUI, femara, and injectables. BUT I never thought ahead far enough to think of a tubal pregnancy due the abnormalities of the tube. I wish you luck!

Tubal surgery is a major procedure involving a general anaesthetic and often lasts for several hours. The operation is usually carried out with the aid of an operating microscope. Surgery is successful in about 45% of patients when the obstruction is at the uterine end of the tubes, but only in 20-25% when obstruction is at the fimbrial ends of the tubes, closest to the ovaries. After most types of tubal surgery, there is an increased risk of subsequent ectopic pregnancy.
