A IVF expert recently published a list of 8 biased statements against tubal reversal.
This blog series is deducted to revealing these biases and uncovering the truth about tubal reversal surgery.
The final biased statement made by the IVF experts was:
when tubal reversal surgery does not work then IVF will be necessary.
Although this is a true statement, tubal reversal will work for most patients and IVF will not be necessary.
Does Tubal Ligation Reversal Work?
The IVF expert stated ‘when‘ tubal reversal surgery does not work. The use of the word ‘when‘ implies they can predict the future.
No person can predict the future.
On average 66% of our tubal reversal patients will become pregnant after tubal reversal. This is data taken from a large number of patients who have undergone tubal reversal surgery at A Personal Choice. The tubal reversal success rate data is very comprehensive and the majority of our patients have become pregnant and they did not need in-vitro (IVF) to become pregnant.
Tubal reversal surgery really does work for most of our patients.
What If Reversing Tubes Does Not Work?
Approximately 30% of our patients will not become pregnant after tubal reversal. These women will need to decide how important pregnancy is for them. Some will realize their goals of becoming pregnant were not meant to be. Others will consider IVF and some will pursue adoption.
No infertility treatment can be guaranteed to be successful. Tubal reversal is not guaranteed to be 100% successful and neither is IVF.
What Is The Success of IVF?
The average success for a single cycle of IVF is 35-40% if the woman is under the age of 40.
What many patients do not realize is each cycle of IVF can cost as much as $12,000. Any woman considering IVF needs to plan on attempting 3 cycles in case the first one is not successful.
If a patient is over the age of 42 most IVF experts will decline to offer IVF or they will insist these women use donor eggs from a younger woman. The use of donor eggs does make IVF more successful (50% per cycle) in women over the age of 40, but it also significantly increases the cost above $12,000 and also increases the difficulty of the decision making regarding reproduction.

On average the success of tubal reversal is approximately 70%. At our center we offer low cost tubal reversal surgery for the all-inclusive price of $5900. The surgery lasts for one-hour and is an out-patient experience.

Tubal reversal also provides a chance to become pregnant every month. For some it allows them to correct the guilt and angst they may feel about having had their tubes tied.
