Brief Answer:
Pregnancy is possible

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

You are probably dealing with a condition known as “hydrosalpinx”. It’s a clinical situation where distal end of the tube got obstructed and proximal part get distended with fluid.
Hydrosalpinx is one of the leading cause for infertility. But there are treatment options available by which you can get pregnant.
You can go for something called tubal surgery which is commonly done by laparoscopic approach. It shows good results.
If the surgical treatment fails you can opt for IVF (in vitro fertilisation).
Consult an infertility specialist and he will direct you accordingly.

Wishing all the best.
