possibe to become pregnant after tubal pregnancy

[stillwanting]

can a person still get pregnant with one tube that has some scarring. i just lost my left tube due to tubal pregnancy.  is it possible the natural way without having to go through ivf.

When asking this question, if you want accurate answers, its important to include all of your information.  If I understand correctly, you had your tubes tied, had a reversal, and had an ectopic pregnancy, and your husband has left you.  

I'm very sorry for your loss and your situation.  You have been through a lot of tragedy in a short time.  

Having had a tubal reversal already puts you at risk of an ectopic pregnancy, which unfortunately you have already experienced.  You are at great risk of another.  IVF may be an option for you, but as your husband has left, you have many other issues to work out first.

Good luck.

I don't understand peekawho's response that your husband has left, unless you two have talked previously.

I do not know much about tubal scarring and your chances, but I do know that you still have a chance with IVF.  

Good luck to you with everything!

I understand where you are coming from because this has been a question that I have been asking for 8 years and I just got a bfp++++ 2 weeks ago. I am still a nervous wreck and terrified that this pg is ectopic (no signs of problems, just constant worry)and I am on pins and needles waiting for my ultrasound monday morning.

My situation is slightly different, but hopefully I will be able to give you hope. As far as I know, my left tube is clear...however, my left ovary is almost gone...dr. removed majority of it (large cysts) during laparoscopy to remove pg in my right tube 8 years ago. So, my plumbing is blocked up and crossed and dr's have been telling me that IVF is the only way. I am praying that God has indeed blessed us with a viable pregnancy. I had relaxed on the whole ttc thing and made up my mind that if it is in God's plans then He will make it happen and in the meantime just enjoy the many other blessings He has given me. I find it interesting that once I let go of the obsession of ttc (used to consume my thoughts/emotions/actions) I became pregnant.

As mentioned before, at this stage of the game I am still terrified that this could be another tubal pg (I am 6w today)...I think that same risk and the many fears associated with it would be on you as well. I do think it is possible by the concieve...it is just the matter of the embryo completing its journey to the uterus. I believe it could happen for you.

Best of luck,
