Reversal or IVF: Tubal reversal may be a possible option depending on a variety of factors (female age, type of tubal ligation performed, length of normal tube remaining, presence of other infertility factors such as sperm count, etc.). Ivf is another option and usually a more practical option for many couples presented wtih the same issue (having had a previous tubal ligation and desiring a child).

1 in 250: Unusual to become pregnant without surgery to reverse the tubal ligation. Many places this is a very expensive option. We offer outpatient tubal reversal surgery - laparoscopy at a very low cost. When ovarian function is normal, pregnancy rates are as high as 90%. Most programs push ivf but this option is at least 3x more costly.
