More than 50 %: Counter to what one would think, after removal of a fallopian tube chances to conceive are not reduced by 50 %, but by approx. 20 %.

Other tube: Having one ectopic does increase your risk of another ectopic. Your baseline fertility is not affected. The functional status of the remaining tube can be assessed by your doctor if you are having trouble getting pregnant.
