I had an anatomic pregnacy and was told my chances are low for having a baby, is it another way for me to get pregnant with my husbands sperm?

Is their any way that I could get pregnant and it not get caught in my tubes again. Can I just have my husbands sperm directly injected in me, or is there some other way that I could have a chance to have a baby. I've been pregnant by anatomic pregn

Thank you for your email. I am not sure what you mean by "anatomic
pregnancy." Do you mean a tubal pregnancy? If so, you could get
pregnant by in vitro fertilization which involves putting a fertilized
egg into your uterus. Hopefully it would then implant in your uterus.
If you have sperm directly injected into you then the risk is higher for
a tubal pregnancy since the sperm has to travel to the fallopian tube,
fertilize, then travel back into the uterus and implant. It runs the
risk of getting stuck again in the tube. That is why IVF is better
because the fertilized egg is placed exactly where it needs to go.
Hopefully that answers your question. Let me know if there is anything
else I can do for you.
