Can pregnancy be achieved if the tubes are blocked?

Antonio Forgiarini, gynaecologist at Next Fertility Valencia, tells us if pregnancy is possible in women with tubal obstruction:

Yes. Certainly it won't be a natural pregnancy. We need to perform an IVF (an in vitro fertilization), so we can retrieve your oocyte, fertilize them with a sperm in the laboratory, we can develop the embryos, select the embryos we want to transfer and put it in the uterus. So, in this case, the embryo is fertilized, it stays in the uterus (where it has to implant) and we don't need the fallopian tubes.
