Can you get pregnant with one functional fallopian tube?

IVF experts of the best IVF centre in Ghaziabad – Gunjan IVF World share an informative blog on one of the most common queries of patients – What are the chances of getting pregnant with one fallopian tube?

One of the most common queries that patients ask upon meeting IVF doctors is – can I get pregnant if I have one functional fallopian tube? Fallopian tube plays a very important part in helping a woman get pregnant. It is this delicate tube which connects the ovaries to the uterus. It is the passageway through which sperm travels to meet a matured egg for fertilisation and post fertilization the egg (embryo) travels to implant on the uterine wall. There are instances where a woman’s fallopian tube(s) might get blocked or damaged making it difficult for them to conceive naturally. Through this informative blog, IVF experts of the best IVF centre in Delhi – Gunjan IVF World aim to share an answer to this common query.

“The answer to this question is – yes! To get pregnant, you need one functional and healthy fallopian tube. If you have one fallopian tube, there is nothing to worry. There are many women who are born with only one fallopian tube. Pregnancy is still possible,” stated Dr. Gunjan Gupta Govil, MD & Founder of a leading IVF center in Ghaziabad – Gunjan IVF World. Dr. Gunjan is a renowned IVF specialist Ghaziabad who leads a team of expert gynaecologists and IVF doctors who operate from highly advanced centers at Indirapuram, Janakpuri, Noida and Meerut.

What could be the possible reasons of having only one fallopian tube?

“The reasons behind having only one fallopian tube can be many. From previous pelvic surgeries, history of ectopic pregnancy, infections to tumours – the reasons can be any,” said Dr. Aastha Raheja, Consultant at Gunjan IVF World – the best IVF clinic in Indirapuram.

You can still get pregnant with one fallopian tube, if…

Age is on your side: “Age has an important role to play on the quality of eggs. The more the age, lesser the quality of eggs and more difficult it gets to conceive. So, even if your single fallopian tube is picking up most of the eggs, you will still struggle to conceive or carry a pregnancy to full-term if you are 40- year-old or above,” commented Dr. Garima Sharma, Centre In-Charge of the best IVF clinic in Janakpuri, Gunjan IVF World.

You have regular menstrual cycles: “To achieve a successful pregnancy with one fallopian tube, it is important for you to have a regular menstrual cycle i.e. you have your period every 21-35 days,” added Dr. Shubhda Gupta, gynecologist in Noida and Consultant at Gunjan IVF World – the best IVF clinic Noida.

Other fallopian tube is healthy: “If you are already aware that you have one functional fallopian tube, it is necessary for you to keep it healthy and free of blockage,” said Dr. Anshu Dhar, Consultant of Gunjan IVF World – North India’s most awarded IVF center in Delhi.
