Uterine Pregnancy with Blocked Fallopian Tubes: Understanding the Possibility

Question
I became pregnant in my uterus after being told my fallopian tubes were clubbed and completely blocked. how is that possible?  I went to the same Dr for prenatal and he tried to convince me to ha a D&C.  went to a different Dr and they said everything was normal other than a cysts on my right ovary.

Answer
Hello,

Obviously your tubes were not completely blocked. There is no way for you to have a uterine pregnancy if your tubes were blocked.  At least one of the tubes were open.
