Hello, amandashawn-ga!
The answer is "yes."
According to "Ectopic Pregnancy" from the American Pregnancy Association:
http://www.americanpregnancy.org/pregnancycomplications/ectopicpregnancy.html
"The chances of having a successful pregnancy after an ectopic
pregnancy may be lower than normal, but this will depend on why the
pregnancy was ectopic and your medical history. If the fallopian tubes
have been left in place, you have approximately a 60% chance of having
a successful pregnancy in the future."

"If a woman has had an ectopic pregnancy, her outlook for a future
healthy pregnancy is usually quite good. Studies suggest that about 60
to 80 percent of women who have both fallopian tubes are able to have
a normal pregnancy. These rates are about the same whether a woman has
been treated surgically or with methotrexate. More than 40 percent of
women who have had one fallopian tube removed during treatment for
ectopic pregnancy go on to have healthy pregnancies. However, women
who have had an ectopic pregnancy have a 7 to 15 percent chance of it
happening again, so they need to be monitored carefully when they
attempt to conceive again. It is more likely to recur if a woman had
surgery after the tube had already ruptured, or if she has a history
of pelvic inflammatory disease.

"What about future pregnancies? - The outlook for future pregnancies
depends on several factors, especially whether the other Fallopian
tube appeared normal or not. As a general guide, after one ectopic
pregnancy, 20 per cent of women will experience another ectopic
pregnancy, 30 per cent will not become pregnant again and 50 per cent
will have a successful pregnancy inside the womb."
