Comment Hi Lolo, As long as the other tube is in really good shape and the tube with hydrosalpinx isn't leaking fluid into the uterus, your chances are still good. Of course, I'm assuming that you don't have any other problems like hormonal imbalances, PCOS, endometriosis, hypothyroidism, low sperm count, etc. It's interesting how intelligent the body is and the adaptability of the reproductive system. Sometimes, women with one good fallopian tube will only ovulate on the healthy side. There have even been cases of an egg from the blocked tube side traveling to the opposite fallopian tube, in its quest to meet the sperm. Generally hydrosalpinx occurs as a result of PID, gonorrhea or chlamydia, so it's important to deal with the infection, as you don't want fluid leaking into the uterus. It can negatively affect implantation. I really recommend seeing a good Chinese herbalist to take herbs for clearing the dampness in the tubes. You want to take good care of your healthy tube. So, I definitely know that you can get pregnant with one tube. I had a patient, who had one tube and PCOS. After a number of failed IVF cycles, she got pregnant naturally with acupuncture and Chinese herbs in only 3 cycles. Good luck to you!
