How to become pregnant after a tubal ligation?
The question is easy to ask and the answers are easy to provide, but choosing the best option for you and your partner may be a little more difficult. If you have had a tubal ligation, regret your decision, and would like to become pregnant then this article is for you.
How to become pregnant after a tubal?
There are two ways to have a pregnancy after a tubal procedure: undergo in-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment or have a tubal ligation reversal procedure.
In previous articles we have provided an overview of IVF and tubal reversal. Choosing between the two options can be a challenge for couples, but we have discovered tubal reversal surgery can provide a better chance of pregnancy after tubal reversal than IVF.
Tubal reversal is the answer
The decision to have a tubal reversal can be difficult to make. There is a financial hurdle when having to pay the cost of tubal reversal surgery and there is a mental hurdle to simply put oneself through a surgical operation. Once the decision is made to overcome these two barriers then having a tubal reversal surgery becomes a much easier process.
Tubal reversal cost
Tubal reversal surgery costs in the US average around $15,000 and can be as high as $30,000 to $100,000 for tubal reversal surgery done in a hospital or with a robot. To make matters worse, most insurance companies will not pay for tubal ligation reversal. Many of these same insurances will also not pay for IVF. The cost of tubal ligation reversal can be the single most difficult barrier for couples to overcome. At Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center, the intent is to provide the most effective surgery at the lowest possible cost to make it affordable. We offer several payment options for tubal ligation reversal under $6000.
Tubes blocked? Tubes tied?
If your tubes are blocked or if your tubes are tied then having them opened, or unblocked, can be an effective and affordable way to obtain pregnancy.
The staff at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center wants to make tubal reversal affordable for a large number of people. Tubal reversal surgery is performed as an out-patient procedure which lasts under an hour.
The center in Chapel Hill specializes exclusively in tubal reversal surgery and surgery and repairing fallopian tubes blocked due to causes other than tubal ligation. Due to this unique specialization in tubal surgery, the Center provides less costly reversal operations than when performed elsewhere. Another option that is offered is a tubal reversal pre-payment plan that allows patients to contribute payments towards their reversal surgery and have reversal surgery when the cost is paid for in full. A billing invoice is provided that includes the insurance codes so that health insurance may pay for portions of the reversal surgery when allowed by the individual’s health insurance policy.
Tubal reversal: Making the decision
Making the decision to have surgery can be an understandable obstacle for some people; however, once the decision is made many patients will have relief they will be able to conceive naturally again. When the surgery is completed, patients often remark on how easy the process and the recovery has been. The Patient Satisfaction section of the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal website has many patients’ submitted messages highlighting their experiences.
Becoming pregnant after tubal ligation
How to become pregnant after tubal ligation? The answer is easy: choose between IVF or tubal ligation reversal surgery.

If you want tubal reversal surgery, call (919) 968-4656 for a free telephone consultation with a Tubal Reversal Nurse, fax your tubal ligation records to (919) 967-8637, and prepare to undergo a simple operation that will give you multiple chances to become naturally pregnant after tubal ligation.

The time since your tubal ligation is not that critical as long as you are still having regular periods. Your tubes should still be in good condition.
