Pregnancy w.out Fallopian Tubes
Hello everyone:
In 2013 I had to have both of my fallopian tubes removed due to severe endometriosis. The tissue had wrapped around both of my fallopian tubes attaching to my bowel -- I was in pain every.single.day! The doctor was able to leave my uterus and ovaries in tact. So, I didn't much care or think about not being able to naturally fall pregnant, in fact I wasn't very keen on children anyhow. But as I am getting older (26 soon) I am beginning to wonder about my options as far as having a biological child goes.
I have heard women without fallopian tubes have had success with I.V.F. and I was wondering about I.U.I as well? Otherwise, the worst case scenario is I might as well look into a surrogate and having my eggs donated -- I should assume that would not be an issue.
Again, I'm not dying to have a baby. But I would like to know what options are available to me.
Thanks!

your best bet is ivf. most insurances cover most of it. your 26 so your eggs should be in great condition. but after the age of 35 you have an increased risk of birth defects such as downsyndrome so you have a good 8 years left to have a healthy pregnancy
