Someone close to me recently had an ectopic pregnancy and, as a result, lost her right fallopian tube. What are her options if she wants to become pregnant in the near future? She is confident that she can just stick with in vitro fertilization; however, I read that in virto has only a 30% success factor. Any advice??
If she only lost one tube she can still get pregnant on her own. It’s random which side her egg comes from each month. I lost one tube and still got pregnant after 4 months of trying…. and normally there is only a 25% chance each month anyway. Tell her don’t lose hope! You can still do it on your own most likely.

She may want to have a procedure done (I can’t recall the name) where the gyno runs dye thru her remaining tube to make sure that it is clear.
After I lost my tube due to 2 back-to-back ectopics they did this to make sure it was safe to keep trying. The remaining tube was clear and now we have a 16 month old, conceived the old fashioned way.
