Is it possible to achieve natural pregnancy with unilateral salpingectomy?

By Zaira Salvador B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).

Yes, but it is more difficult because ovulation must occur through the ovary with the intact tube for there to be a chance of fertilization and pregnancy.

In the event of not achieving a natural pregnancy, it is possible to control ovulation with hormonal medication and to schedule sexual intercourse on the fertile days. It is also possible to try artificial insemination to increase the possibility of pregnancy.
