ok, I have been pregnant twice. the first was in November 2006 but m/c my beta numbers were low to begin with. the second pregnancy was in January 07, but it was an ectopic in my left tube. I didn't m/c until 3 months later, even then the fetus was still in my tubal, this was determined by a lap that was done in May of 07. the doctor surgically blocked my right tube b/c it had the hydrosalpinx. my left tube was "good" considering it had the ectopic. the doctor cleaned it out and it still had the fimbria and also a little mucosa in the tube, which is good. so i tried and nothing. oh i was on clomid both times i conceived. anyway, i got back on clomid at the beginning of July and every cycle I have about 4 mature follicles. Anyway, since I didnt conceive after that first dose of clomid (post surgery) i got a hsg and showed my left tube open and it spilled through. didn't get ku that cycle. ok, so now they got me on 100 mg clomid. I ovulate on my own, but not very strong, so what do you all think MAY happen, also who has gotten pregnant w/ one tube and on clomid? thanks.

Just bumping this up the list as I'm also interested to know the answer to that! Hopefully someone knowledgable will be along soon!

ok, do you have the same siutation going on?

Lissa_ - September 1st, 2007 1:05 PM

Hi there - I had an ectopic in 2002 on my right ovary. Luckily I escaped any kind of surgery and was treated with drugs instead. I still have two tubes. However my left is blocked so I'm working with one tube from that degree. After years of ttc#2 and after several useless drs my new dr decided it was about time someone checked my dh sperm. Turns out problematic so been pulled off my clomid for now. Likely looking at IVF. Oh and I've had four recurrent m/c over three years so I guess occasionally I ovulate from the right side!

wantamiraclebaby - September 4th, 2007 8:50 PM

I am also interested if anyone has gotten pregnant off one tube too. I had my HSG done earlier this week, and no dye went into my right tube, which I am assuming is blocked from scar tissue from a tubal reversal. The left tube had dye go through, although the tech didnt seem quite satisfied with it. Ive yet to hear from my RE, my dh did the sa and to check if his sperm has antibodies, since he's 40 and never iniated a pregnancy. So we are just waiting to hear from RE w/her results and recommendations. We were supposed to start my first IUI, but I dont know if one tube is sufficient enough for IUI or if we may have to try IVF. Ive gotten pregnant twice, once in feb 07 and again in may 07 both m/c one at 7wks and the other 4 days after I found out i was pregnant. So anyone out there......give us some incite if you have gotten pregnant w/one tube....w/clomid or any other type of treatments. thx

Hello Lissa & Wantamiraclebaby!

SHARLENE - February 4th, 2008 2:13 PM

Know that you are not alone. I am completely frustrated. I went in for my day 13 checkup to find that clomid did work, however, my left ovary contains the follicle and my left tube is blocked (go figure). I am completely frustrated. What in the world am I suppose to do now? The doctor said we could just try to get pregnant on our own but my situation is a "little" special. I also have PCOS AND don't know if or when the follicle will release. AND when it releases, won't it just release to my LEFT/BLOCKED OVARY? Soooooooooo let's see? I am now stuck with a follicle that isn't going to go anywhere? I put a call into RE.

Can anyone help us?

wantamiracle, I went to the doctor, I also only have one tube, I had a reversal 12-06 and he prescribed me 100mg of clomid too this afternoon. Also, I have had one miscarriage in 12-07. Also, those who complain of clomid of being expensive at walmart itnis only 18.00 dollars without insurance

wantamiraclebaby - February 4th, 2008 10:04 PM

SHARLENE! I'm sorry for what you're going through, you may want to try injectables instead of clomid. that way it will create a lot of follicles, well more than one. I had an ectopic in December 2007 and now we are on to IVF. I am starting at the end of Feb and beginning of March is when I should be experiencing the Egg Transfer. CHRISWIFE...YES, CLOMID IS VERY INEXPENSIVE. I love that drug b/c it doesn't cost much. good luck w/ the clomid!

RLR - February 4th, 2008 10:20 PM

Hi girls- glad I found your thread. Sharlene, just to give you some hope, I work with a girl that got pg w/ 1 tube- o'ing from the wrong side! It can be done and my re said they've seen it too. See what your dr says, but I would definitely still try- it could get pulled into the other tube and get fertilized. baby dust to you!

memillner - February 5th, 2008 2:20 PM

Hi ladies, well I also just have one tube. My left tube is completely blocked but my right is good. I haven't been pregnant before but I'm confident. My mother in law lost an ovary and tube to etopic preg. and still got pregnant twice with just the one set. It's possible!!! Keep the faith girls! We'll show them.
I was on clomid but recently elected to take a break from the madness. Once I decided I'm sane again I'll start back on clomid.
GL to all!

SHARLENE - February 6th, 2008 12:51 PM

Hello Ladies,

Thanks for the encouragement! My RE said that I should continue with this treatment cycle as we could still get pregnant. And while during the HSG, no dye went through my left tube, she said we won't know for sure if it is blocked or if there's a little scar tissue from the surgery I had last year....

We are suppose to use the trigger shot tonight that should release the follicle within 36 hours. And then we can conduct a pregnancy test on Feb 23 (17 days after the trigger shot). So then we will see! The RE said that if I am not pregnant, I should have a period as I will start "inserting" Prometrium tablets twice a day tomorrow. I will keep the faith and keep you posted!!!!

You know, I had no idea that the hot flashes would be this bad! I am having one right now and on average I have 1-2 a day!

tdo - February 6th, 2008 3:28 PM

I love it when I'm able to be a success story. My left tube is blocked. I started on clomid 100mg and got pregnant on my 2nd cycle with out IUI. Unfortuantely, this isn't a viable pregnancy. However, I am hopeful that when I'm ready to start trying again clomid with IUI will help me concieve. Wishing you luck!!
