The total cost of a ‘His and Her’ reversal can be slightly more affordable than a single cycle of IVF. The benefit of tubal reversal with vasectomy reversal is pregnancy can happen every month and more than once.
What determines success of tubal reversal with vasectomy reversal?
The biggest predictor of vasectomy reversal success is the number of years the man has had his vasectomy procedure. Vasectomies less than 5 years old are the best for reversing but success after 20 years of having a vasectomy is possible.
The biggest predictor of tubal ligation reversal success is the type of tubal ligation being reversed and the age of the women. All types of tubal ligations can be reversed but clips and rings are the best methods for reversing. Age is the biggest issue for many women and it is much harder to become pregnant after the age of 42.
‘His and Her’ vasectomy reversal with tubal reversal
Dr. Monteith does perform simultaneous reversal of both vasectomy and tubal ligation. In general it is best if the man has vasectomy reversal first. As soon as semen sample testing shows the return of sperm then the woman can undergo tubal ligation reversal.
For couples who are in the highest categories of success (tubal ligation with clips, rings, or minimal damage and vasectomy less than 5 years) each couple can consider having reversal surgery at the same time.
Dr. Monteith’s office is available for consultation to help discuss the best timing of vasectomy reversal with tubal reversal. For more information call (919) 968-4656.
