Can I get pregnant with one tube?

My first pregnancy was diagnosed as an Ectopic Pregnancy. During surgery, my right Fallopian Tube was removed. Now, I am wondering if I can still get pregnant with just one fallopian tube. I am 25 years of age.

Pregnancy is absolutely possible with one fallopian tube, assuming you and the remaining tube and your partner are healthy. In fact, as many as 85% of women who are at optimal pregnancy age (22 – 28) and who only have one tube just like you conceive a baby within two years of trying consistently – even after an ectopic pregnancy.
