Hydrosalpinx and a Successful Pregnancy
by: Amelia Hirota

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!

The colon cleanse from Blessed Herbs is great! I've done lots of colon cleanses in the past and this one's the real deal! Thanks for the recommendation!

My name is Nicole and I started working with Amelia after not getting my period for several months after going off birth control pills. I had been on and off birth control pills for 10 years and was ready to start trying for a baby.

At 28 years old (and my husband was 29) we could not imagine that we would have problems conceiving. After 3 months and lots of tests with my OBGYN, I was encouraged to try acupuncture because there were no "medical" reasons why I wasn't getting my period.

After just one appointment with Amelia I got my period and after just 3 or 4 months, I was pregnant. I am now 32 weeks and due in September. We are so excited to meet our baby boy!

I would strongly encourage any woman to give acupuncture a try if they are having trouble conceiving or even just having trouble getting their body ready for conception. Best of luck to all of you!
