In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) vs Tubal Reversal
Are you considering having your tubes untied? You may want to consider IVF first since this may be more successful for you. 
Many women have undergone tubal sterilization when they decided they no longer wanted to have more children. Many women regret this decision and have a change of heart because they decide to have more children or they enter a new relationship and wish to grow their family.
In vitro fertilization may be the best way to approach this problem for several reasons:
- Not all patients who have had tubal sterilization are candidates for tubal reversal.
- In many cases the tubes are damaged (burned or cut out) in the sterilization process and do not work well once they have been “untied”.
- There is no need for repeat surgery and prolonged anesthesia and missing time from work for recovery.
- You also do not need to have your tubes retied or sterilized after delivery as they were never undone.
- There is no need to worry about a low sperm count or quality as techniques in IVF can correct this problem.
- There is also a very low risk for tubal or ectopic pregnancy.
