Yes: You will need to see an infertility specialist to discuss tubal reversal vs in vitro fertilization.

Quite likely: Unless your tubal ligation ('tying') was unsuccesful/failed you cannot get pregnant without help. You may still have an excellent chance of pregnancy with ivf, and/or you might be a candidate for tubal anastomosis ('tubal reversal.') a reproductive endocrinologist can help you learn more about these options.

Yes you can: You have a choice between tubal surgery (re-anastomosis) or ivf. Choice is related to ovarian reserve, sperm analysis and the method of tubal sterilization and condition of the tubes. Generally ivf yields a better success rate.
