wanting to get pregnant,?

Question

3 years ago I had an eptopic pregnancy, they took out the whole right phelopian tube, my Dr. said I could still get pregnant it would just be more difficult because i only ovulate every other month due to the one tube. how can you tell when your avulating? I just got married two weeks ago and he really wants a baby, he has none of his own, though I have two that he loves like they were his, I just really wanted to give him a baby. Do you think its still possible for me to have kids? anything out there to help?

Answer 1

Oh definitely. If only having one tube is your only obstacle, then your chances are very good indeed. It may take a bit longer but it's definitely possible.

On the other hand, if you either don't want to wait, or don't have any confidence in your ability to become pregnant naturally, seek help from your doctor who may refer you to a fertlity specialist who can help. There are drugs you can take that will stimulate your ovaries into releasing eggs, increasing your chances (although you may risk a multiple pregnancy), and there are assisted conception treatments such as IVF that can also help.

As for you only ovulating every other month - having no tube doesn't stop your ovary actually working. Charting or testing for ovulation probably wouldn't help a whole lot, since it's not actually that you are only ovulating every second month - you probably ovulate every month - the trick is trying to tell which ovary you have ovulated from. If it's the one with the missing fallopian tube then even if you test for ovulation, your chances of conceiving will be pretty much zero. If it's from the other side, your chances are as good as anyone's. There is no real way of telling which side you ovulate from (and it's not necessary one side and then the other side, month after month) without an ultrasound.

Stay hopeful!!

Answer 2

Well, there is GIFT or Gamete Intra-Fallopian Transfer. They will obtain his sperm and insert it directly into your functioning fallopian tube at the time of ovulation. An even safer one is ZIFT or Zygote Intra-Fallopian Transfer. The only difference here is that here they shall require both the egg and the sperm. These will fuse outside your body and the fused product or zygote will be placed back within you where it shall grow normally. Check these procedures, I'm sure there are others as well...science has gone a long way in the field of fertility. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

I think you just need to focus more on your body....I know every month what side I'm ovulating from and when I'm ovulating...Maybe that just comes with age...But anyways, you have a eggwhite consistency when you are the most fertile...It is slimey when wiping..Also, you may feel cramping during mid ovulation..from one side or the other you may feel like a pinch or tingling feel..Hope you can do it!...good luck.....Just focus!!!

Answer 4

you could buy those ovulation test kits to see what months you are ovulating and what ones you aren't. but a general idea is 14 days after you period starts (if its a 28 day cycle). if you go to yourdays.com and put in your last period date it will tell you when you ovulate or are supposed to.

Answer 5

There are saliva - urine ovulation tests, like Predictor I think...
Check your dates (usually 12-14 days between your period) and your body temperature (usually 1-2 degrees higher when you're ovulating)
Good luck!

Answer 6

dont get an innocent child involved all because he wants a baby of his own. besides you 2 have not been married long either. not a good idea to get pregnant at 2 weeks of marriage.

Answer 7

yes, I do think it is possible. You may wan to find a specialist. He/she may be able to advise you on when you are ovulating, methods, and other things to help you conceive. good luck.

Answer 8

I don't want to come off as a smart-*** or bitchy BUT you really should be talking to your doctor about your options.
