I had an ectopic pregnancy in March 2018 and had to have one tube removed. We then started trying in September 2018 and I got pregnant in January 2019 so please don’t lose hope!

Its possible. Just that for me it only works on tbe month when I ovulate on the part where I still have a fallopia tube. Thus its strange and I am confused as MDs say that the egg will transfer to the fallopian tube no matter on which side I ovulate…

I had my tube removed about 6 years ago. Got pregnant soon after but it was a chemical. Conceived my son a few months after that. He’s now 5. Just suffered a miscarriage about a month ago. So I will say you can definitely get pregnant with one tube. Praying to conceive again soon ☺️

I lost a tube due to an ectopic pregnancy. Surgery was almost exactly a year after my c-section. We’ve been trying to get pregnant for a year now since the ectopic with now luck. I’m so worried that the two pelvic surgeries has damaged my remaining tube… but my dr says “it looks fine”. Starting to feel discouraged as our first baby was conceived so quickly.

One tube blocked from 10 years of Mirena IUD. Thankfully the uterine adhesions were able to be removed but such a disappointment after years of trying to be responsible.

Wondering what you think about doing the ExEm Foam test, compared to an HSG and/or a SIS? I did an ExEm Foam test as part of our initial fertility testing, and I'm wondering if my results are as accurate as these other more established tests.

I just had my left tube removed a few days ago due to an ectopic pregnancy with an IUD. I’m still so overwhelmed. My husband and I were hoping to start trying next year to get financially prepared before we found out about the ectopic… but now I’m filled with so much fear that this could affect our chances of having kids at all. My only risk factor was the IUD but otherwise I didn’t have any other of the ones mentioned. Is there anything I can do to help our chances? Has anyone else had a similar experience with IUD related ectopics?

Hi there, could you make a video regarding HMS and prolonged bleeding? i'm failing to find any studies that are similar to my current situation to understand what is going on. I have sought medical advise and as every test has come back normal, they also don't understand what is going on. prior to the last 10 months, my periods have been extremely stable, though during the last 10 months i have been experiencing extremely prolonged periods, lasting between 30 and 50 days with a maximum of 14days break between each episode, the bleeding follows a pattern within each episode: light, heavy, then light again. when its heavy, i'm passing multiple clots, around 6cm, and what seems like intact endometrium tissue, anything that you can provide when may shed a light on this would be extremely helpful. thank-you in advance.

The more I learn about Endometriosis it really makes me sad; because having biological children seems very unlikely. I have a stage 4 Endometriosis...my right ovary has a 7.5 cm endometrioma, my fallopian tube is partially filled with blood. I have a low egg reserve and I'm 39 years old 😭 Maybe the only positive is that I'm in the process of undergoing egg freezing before I have corrective surgery. Because depending on the surgeon / technique endometriosis surgery can increase infertility.

What about the one good ovarie on one side and one good tube on the other side. Ex left ovarie removed and right tube removed. Working parts on opposite sides?

My doctor said I have a dilated tube but it’s patent. She said it won’t work to pull the egg in but the fluid goes into the peritoneum so I don’t have to remove it. Is this common? Does this greatly reduce the chance of pregnancy?

I had an ectopic pregnancy after using the morning after pill. Is there any correlation of ectopic pregnancies and morning after pills? Like maybe the pill caused inflammation? Never had an STI/STD no pelvic inflammatory issues. Non smoker. And non obese. On the surface I was not “at risk for an ectopic”

@@Curly_Jay So Sorry this happened to you. wishing you the best recovery. Apparently there is a link between morning after pills and ectopic pregnancy according to an opinion of my OBGYN.

@@nekiyamonea Thank you beautiful 🤍 and I'm really sorry you had to experience this too 😔 . I really do believe there may have been some link to that from the pill. Honestly we're totally similar with no STD/STI, non smoker, non obese, or pelvic inflammatory issues either! I wasn't at risk either, so it really took a toll on me emotionally😔. I pray that if you desire to get pregnant in the future, that you will have nothing but successful and healthy pregnancies! ❤️❤️

Same thing happened to me. I took the morning after pill and had an ectopic pregnancy that ended up in ruptured and almost took my life a week ago. I don’t have problems conceiving. I Don’t smoke no past medical history and healthy. I had the most beautiful and healthiest pregnancy with my son. So I do think that pill had something to do with it. 😞

It's like that, no matter if you’re 40 or whatever, after reading Dobbie Nerkstrol's guide, I ended up pleasantly surprised. Within 60 days anyone can get pregnant, feeling the changes in your body the first few weeks. After go’ogling her I understood it's not a miracle kind of thing like the title suggests, but you can bet you'll boost your chances.
