What are the benefits of having a tubal reversal?
There are many benefits of having a tubal reversal. Tubal reversal has three main benefits over the alternative treatment of in vitro fertilization (IVF): more affordable, more successful over time, and can allow evaluation of symptoms after tubal ligation.
Tubal reversal is more affordable
Tubal reversal is half the cost of a cycle of IVF. Tubal reversal allows a couple the chance to become pregnant more than once. Each month after reversing tubes offers couples a chance of pregnancy. In comparison, IVF allows one chance to become pregnant with each cycle.
This patient’s experience offers testimony to the success of tubal reversal surgery. Below are her testimonials submitted after the birth of each reversal baby.
With each successful pregnancy tubal reversal surgery becomes even more affordable!
Tubal reversal can be more successful
Tubal reversal requires time and patience because the success of tubal reversal is sometimes revealed over the course of time. Each month patients have a chance to become pregnant.
The chances of pregnancy with a single cycle of IVF average 38%. The chance of becoming pregnant if you have sex the night you ovulate has been estimated to be around 8% to 10%. In a single month, IVF is more successful but over time the smaller monthly chances of tubal reversal add up.
This is why tubal reversal can be more successful than IVF … but you must allow time to achieve this higher success rate.
Tubal reversal allows evaluation of symptoms after tubal ligation
