Question

Ectopic pregnancy at 6 weeks lost fallopian tube. Advice needed

5 weeks ago I had an ectopic pregnancy. I lost my right fallopian tube and had to have open surgery not laproscopic like they usually do.
I knew something was wrong for 2 weeks and doctors fobbed me off saying I had normal hcg and the bleeding was normal for pregnancy.
I'm finding my scar is slow in healing and very sore. So I'm gutted as I won't be able to start trying again for a while.
My question is now that I only have one tube will I have trouble conceiving? They checked the left tube and it is healthy. Many thanks for reading x

I lost my left tube from an ectopic last March. My doctor told me my chances of conceiving are cut in half now, because when I ovulate on the side without the tube there is nothing there to catch it. I have heard the other tube could "move" over and pick up the egg. My doctor told me that is wishful thinking. I'm so sorry for your loss!
