We want our patients to be well informed, and we have started this series for women over the age of 40 who have had a tubal ligation and want to become pregnant again. The information contained in this series may be helpful to all women considering the alternative treatments of tubal reversal or IVF.
IVF is a procedure designed to by-pass the natural environment where conception occurs – the fallopian tubes. High dose hormonal medications are given to promote the growth of a large number of eggs. The eggs are then retrieved from the ovaries and fertilized in a laboratory. After sufficient egg division, the fertilized eggs or zygotes are then transferred into the uterine cavity through the cervical opening. If they implant successfully, then conception has occurred.
This is the fifth article of a series dedicated to women considering alternatives for pregnancy and tubal ligation reversal after the age of 40. The previous article provided an overview of the benefits of tubal ligation reversal at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center for women in their forties. This article focuses on the surgical and early pregnancy risks for older women having their ‘tubes untied’.
This is fourth in a series of articles for women wanting to become pregnant after tubal ligation reversal and who are age 40 and older. This article describes the multiple benefits of tubal reversal compared with IVF (in vitro fertilization).
If a woman has had her tubes tied (tubal ligation) and wants to have more children, then she has three options:
Adoption
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

Tubal ligation reversal is very successful at allowing women who have had their tubes tied to become pregnant again. In general, 70% of women who have their tubes untied at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center become pregnant after reversal of tubal ligation. This overall statistic is based on all patients, but there is variation depending upon an individual’s age and method of tubal ligation.
Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center specializes in reversing tubal ligation and repairing damaged or blocked fallopian tubes. We perform over 800 tubal repair surgeries per year and have patients who travel to us from around the world and across the United States to have tubal surgery at our center.

Specializing in tubal surgery and the treatment of infertility in women who have had tubal ligations (tubes tied), we meet many patients who share many different stories with us.
