In plain English, the simple answer would be no. But you need to know a whole lot more than this two-lettered word, so here goes: A very common cause of infertility in women is tubal obstruction which is a condition characterized by the blockage of either or both fallopian tubes. What this results in is the inability of your spouse' sperm to come in contact with your eggs. While getting pregnant after this may sound impossible, it isn't. In fact there are methods that can be employed to make becoming pregnant a possibility. This article will look at a few of these

#1 Getting Pregnant Naturally

It is possible to become pregnant without medical intervention even if you have one of your fallopian tubes blocked. Granted, it may require more effort and may be more difficult, but it is possible. What occurs is this; every month the ovaries alternate the production of the dominant egg follicle. To become pregnant, all that is required is that the ovary at end of the unblocked fallopian tube releases an egg. To be doubly certain of what is happening inside of you, you may want to consult with an endocrinologist. Additionally, you may want to consider in-vitro fertilization (IVF) as an alternative.

#2 In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

This is a medical procedure that consists of the surgical removal of your eggs after you have been stimulated to produce more than the normal quantity. Once removed, your eggs are then fertilized and then re-inserted back into your uterus bypassing the tubal obstruction. In severe cases of fallopian tube blockage, full blown surgery may be warranted.

#3 Full Surgery

In extreme cases and circumstances, full blown surgery may be required to treat your tubal obstruction. These circumstances may be due to recurrent infections or incessant severe pain. In these cases your doctor may even recommend the removal of your fallopian tubes.
