Yes: Absolutely. You have several options- reversal of your tubal ligation. It does not depend on how your tubes were tied but on how much tubal segments are removing and the skill of the surgeon. At 31, you are in great shape. The other option is to consider ivf. Both should have good results but ivf is generally much more expensive but obviously avoids surgery.

Surgery or Ivf : There are 2 options, a tubal reanastomosis surgery or ivf. Both procedures have comparable pregnancy rates and costs. Ivf is less invasive and is an option even if this tubes are not fixable. When we review the risks and benefits, most couples chose ivf if they proceed.

0.3% chance.: 1/300 women get pregnant after bilateral tubal ligation. Ivf is your best option to bypass tubal factor female infertility. See your gynecologist for advice!

Absolutely: You basically have two options- one is to do a reversal of your tubal sterilization. In the right hands, pregnancy rates are very good and the risk of an ectopic pregnancy is low. The other option is ivf, which also can be very successful. It is a choice for you and your partner to make. Ivf is generally more expensive but avoids surgery.

Yes: You have two options- one is to do a reversal of your tubal sterilization. It doesn't matter how your tubes were tied, only if you have enough tubal segments left. In the right hands, pregnancy rates are very good and the risk of an ectopic pregnancy is low. The other option is ivf, which also can be very successful; generally more expensive. It is a choice for you and your partner to make.
