Fertility

Hi, I had a laparoscopy last week to see what has been the cause of my pain since an ovarian ectopic pregnancy in January. The news was bad. I have masses of adhesion which have stuck my bowel, appendix, uterus etc together. They could not even see either of my ovaries of tubes and the whole area is one solid mess - not even chewing gum like. I'm told that the chances for fertility are slim as both my tubes are probably blocked (although we will have tests later on to see what state they are in). It was suggested to me that IVF may be my best change of having a family. Surgery may be an option but would be very complicated and risky given the severity of the situation. And they chances of them all growing back was very high. They were very open and informed about barriers etc. What I want to know is has any one else had a similar situation where fertility is effected? And is pregancy dangerous i.e. might I tear an organ etc? Best wishes Zoe
