That was my problem.  Her chances with IVF are great if she has her tubes removed.  It is shown that they can leak toxic fluid into the uterus if a preg. is achived and cause a miscarrage.  My RE won't do IVF if tubes are bad and still in.  If she has her tubes sugically "blown open" her chances of an ectopic are in the 75% range.  I am sorry for her but there is hope.

Unfortunately, only her dr can answer that one. Some surgeries are successful at unblocking tubes and others are not. The diagnosing md would have the best prognosis.
