What can you do to increase your chances of pregnancy with one fallopian tube?
This was my exact situation due to Endometriosis. I now have a 3 1/2 year old daughter. The first step would be to start taking basal body temps every day and charting them. I used the method outlined in the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility. They have a web site and sell software at: http://www.ovusoft.com/. You don't need to buy anything other than a basal temp thermometer though.
By charting your temps and paying attention to other significant signs of ovulation, you will know if/when you are ovulating (it's usually not the Day 12-14 that most docs recommend) and when you should try to conceive.
Good luck!

No, sperm and semen are not poisonous, but they can contain STD and HIV pathogens (germs) and make you ill all the same.

What are four exocrine secretions in the male reproductive system?
The male reproductive system has an endocrine secretion (testosterone) and 4 exocrine secretions in semen: sperm, seminal vesicle fluid (60%), prostatic fluid (25%), and an alkaline secretion from the Bulbourethral (Cowper's) glands that neutralizes the acidic male urethra and secretes mucous that lubricates the urethra and glans.
Endocrine secretions are released in the blood and exocrine secretions are released externally, not into the blood stream.
Where does fertilization take place?
Fertilization takes place in the fallopian tube, more specifically the juncture of the ampulla and isthmus (ampullary-isthmic junction). The ovaries will ovulate and expel a mature ovum due to a surge in the Leutenizing Hormone. The fertilized ovum, a zygote, will then undergo rapid mitotic divisions, ie the 2-cell, 8-cell, and finally, morula, and blastocyst. It is this blastocyst that will differentiate its outer layer into a synytiotrophoblast layer that phagocytoses and penatrates the endometrium.
Colpotomy is surgical incision of the vagina to reach the cul-de-sac.
