Can you still get pregnant with blocked fallopian tubes?

No. If there is obstruction in both fallopian tubes, natural pregnancy will not be possible.

However, women with both fallopian tubes blocked can achieve pregnancy through in vitro fertilization (IVF).

On the other hand, if only one fallopian tube is blocked but the other is healthy, the woman could still conceive naturally. However, the chance of natural pregnancy in this case is lower than if both fallopian tubes were open.

Another option when only one fallopian tube is open would be to perform artificial insemination while monitoring that the woman ovulates on the side that is not blocked.
