IVF as a highly effective way of helping to conceive has been recognized by the general public, and people have begun to be unfamiliar with it, but have become familiar with it, and then widely accepted it. Many couples have begun to learn about IVF in one way or another after failing to conceive. Recently, someone posed this question to our team in the science section, saying: Can I do IVF if I have an ectopic pregnancy and my tubes have been removed? To answer this question, it is not a simple yes or no. There are several scenarios, and depending on the situation, we will advise on the appropriate strategy for assisted conception: If one side of the fallopian tube has been removed, and the other is healthy, you don’t need to seek help with IVF in a hurry. It is necessary to go to the hospital for ovulation monitoring, and when it is observed that there are dominant follicles on the ovaries corresponding to the healthy side of the fallopian tube and ovulation is imminent, the doctor will advise on the timing of coitus, so as to achieve efficient preparation for pregnancy. The process of ovulation monitoring has been explained in our previous popularization article, please check it out. If one fallopian tube is removed due to ectopic pregnancy and the other is blocked, or if you have not yet conceived after sufficient attempts to conceive, you may consider in vitro fertilization (IVF) to help you get pregnant. The fallopian tubes play an essential role in the natural process of conception as a bridge between sperm and egg, however, IVF involves removing the egg and meeting the washed sperm in a petri dish to fertilize the egg, which is a different process from natural conception and no longer involves the use of the fallopian tubes. Therefore, IVF is an option for anyone who is infertile due to tubal factors. Tubal factors here include: blocked fallopian tubes, tubectomy, tubal ligation, and abnormal tubal function. It should be noted that everyone has their own individual differences, in addition to tubal factors, clinicians often have to consider the male partner’s condition, ovarian function and other issues, to give a more individualized strategy to help pregnancy, so in the preparation for the road to pregnancy, be sure to sit down and communicate with the doctor to fully, to choose the program that suits you, step by step, and ultimately a good pregnancy will come.
