Question
I am 34 yrs old , I had one cyst each taken off of my ovaries, and my left tube removed last year, my fsh levels are 10...Never been pregnant.my right tube had scar tissue but Re cleared it out. Is there any hope for my to conceive naturally?

Answer
Hello Kimberly from the U.S.,

Your chances of conceiving naturally with tubal factors is 1% or less.  That doesn't mean you can't get pregnant naturally, I have seen many people beat the statistical odds, but it is very low.  Then you have to add the age factor.  Your best chance for pregnancy is to do IVF.

Sincerely,
