Question 1

how can an egg get tuck in the fallopian tube?

Accepted Answer

Happens all the time: Eggs are picked up by the fallopian tube and if not fertilized melt away.  A fertilized egg, or embryo, can get caught in a blind cul de sac in the fallopian tube, possibly resulting in an ectopic, or tubal pregnancy.

Question 2

where do eggs go when fallopian tubes are blocked?

Accepted Answer

Pelvis: If eggs are not picked up by the tube, they are released in the pelvis where they survive for a few hours then the body resorbs them. This is harmless to the body.

Question 3

how long does an egg stays in the fallopian tubes?

Accepted Answer

Egg in Fallopian: Not very long. about 12-24 hrs is the total "life" of the egg and fertilization occurs in the fallopian tubes within that time period

Question 4

Accepted Answer

U can ovulate once a: Month from either ovary, 1 tube can pick up the egg form either ovary, you need to make sure u are ovulating as some people ovulate every other month or not at all without help.

Question 5

what happens when unfertilized or fertilized egg gets stuck in fallopian tube?

Accepted Answer

Tubal pregnancy: Fertilized egg in the Fallopian tube is a surgical emergency because as the pregnancy develops the tube will rupture and can be fatal for the mother. Unfertilized eggs would eventually be tea sorbet by the body, but should not get stuck if the Fallopian tubes are normal. See your GYN doc if you think this is happening.

Question 6

where do the egg goes in case of blocked fallopian tube(s)?

Accepted Answer

: They end up lost within the internal tissues of the abdomen and eventually breakdown. Their resulting debris is eventually absorbed and recycled by the body.

Question 7

where does the egg go if someone has blocked fallopian tubes?

Accepted Answer

Apoptosis: If not fertilized, the egg melts away.

Question 8

after conception happens in the fallopian tube where does the egg go after?

Accepted Answer

To the uterus!: After the sperm enters the egg and fertilization occurs, the fertilized egg moves down the fallopian tube into the uterus.  It begins dividing from 1 into 2 then 4, then 8 cells, etc.  After it arrives in the uterus, the cell cluster (called the morula) implants in the uterine wall.    Its a pretty amazing journey!  Best wishes!

Question 9

if i dont have fallopian tubes, when i ovulate, where does the egg go during ovulation?

Accepted Answer

: It wonders off to dissolve within the confines of the abdominal cavity.

Question 10

if ive had a bilateral salpingectomy, during ovulation where does the egg go with no fallopian tubes?

Accepted Answer

Egg travels: What a great question? The ovary is located near the fallopian tube. The fallopian tube at the end has fimbria that looks like multiple fingers that catches the egg following ovulation.  When there is  a salpingectomy, no tube and no fimbria so presumably the egg falls inside the cavity of your belly. Salpingectomy is a surgical procedure for permanent contraception and prevention of cancer.
