Join Dr. Carrie Bedient from the Fertility Center of Las Vegas, Dr. Abby Eblen from Nashville Fertility Center, and Dr. Susan Hudson from Texas Fertility Center as we tackle the ins and outs of dealing with damaged fallopian tubes and finding your way to pregnancy success. Listener questions about ectopic pregnancies and uterine malformations take center stage as we discuss when surgical intervention is necessary and how tests like HSGs and saline sonograms can help evaluate your tubes. If your tubes are damaged and need to be removed, rushing to remove them isn’t the best idea unless you’ve already created genetically normal embryos through IVF—timing is everything! We also explore why surgery can sometimes do more harm than good. Removing minor endometriosis could damage your ovaries, leading to fewer eggs or even requiring a second surgery if the tubes re-scar. Finally, we dive into the likelihood of successful IVF after ectopic pregnancies. There is plenty of hope, even if your tubes haven’t been cooperative in the past. Whether navigating tube troubles or looking for IVF insights, this episode is your go-to guide for staying on track. Have questions about infertility?
