The egg and sperm need a completely clear pathway to do their job well, and even a partially blocked tube can reduce your chances for conception, while increasing your chances of an ectopic pregnancy. Amazing and little-known fact: Fallopian tubes are mobile and active parts of your reproductive tract. Pretty amazing. Any existing health conditions or known infertility factors, combined with a malfunctioning or absent tube, can complicate conception for you.

This is why your physician and your fertility specialist want to know absolutely every detail of your medical and reproductive history.
