Some factors before having a tubal ligation reversal:

What makes you fit for having a tubal ligation reversal ?
Patients need to be more aware of the fertile possibilities of tubal ligation reversal before going for a tubal ligation reversal. The factors that go into whether a tubal ligation reversal is right for you are:
-Age: Better if you are less than 40. Analysis of the fertility results demonstrated that age was the most significant predictive factor. This directly links to ovulation. Decide about a tubal ligation reversal at the right time. There is a sharp turn down in fertility that starts to occur approximately at the age of 36 in women. Even so, the chances of pregnancy stay good until women reaches 40. If a woman is beyond the age of 43, the chances of producing eggs in good health can be much lower.
- Type of ligation: As there are many types and methods of performing bilateral tubal ligation (ie by rings, clips, fulguration, Parkland, Pomeroy, Falope ring, coagulation, and Irving), the damage to the tubes may differ from one patient to another. If the tubal ligation is performed without excessive damage to the tubes, nearly all types of tubal ligations can be reversed with a tubal ligation reversal procedure. To ensure patency, after tubal ligation reversal a colored dye is used to examine the patency of the fallopian tubes.
- Blockage site on the tube. HysteroSalpigoGram (HSG) is the test that allows Dr. Morice to better evaluate the blockage site on the tubes in the prospective patient for tubal ligation reversal, and to get a better idea of how much proximal tubal length is available for a tubal ligation reversal or reanastomosis. If the ligation method caused excessive scar tissue on the blockage site, this could minimize the potential of fertility later. The amount of healthy tube remaining is extremely important when considering a tubal reversal to regain fertility.
- Hormone levels: Checking the hormone levels is an excellent indicator of fertility and must be considered for all patients over the age of 30 before a tubal ligation reversal. This includes a day 2-4 FSH level and estradiol level.
- Normal uterus: All patients undergoing a tubal ligation reversal should have an ultrasound report prior to the procedure. Dr. Morice performs this as part of the routine work-up and this is included in the price of the tubal ligation reversal procedure.
- Some other factors: There are other factors that provide good predictive value for success with tubal ligation reversal. These include your general health, obstetrical history, partner’s health, social habits such as smoking and drinking, and frequency of intercourse.

Why Don’t Doctors Offer Tubal Reversal Surgery More Often?

If you are a woman who has had her tubes tied and then regretted that decision, you are certainly not alone. Many women have tubal ligation each year and then later decide they would like to have more children. Unfortunately, some women and their doctors are not aware of a procedure called a tubal reversal. Instead, they end up opting for in vitro fertilization (IVF) which can be very expensive.

What is Tubal Reversal?

A tubal reversal is a procedure to reconnect the fallopian tubes in a woman who has previously undergone surgical sterilization, known as tubal ligation. In a tubal reversal operation, the surgeon removes the portion of each fallopian tube that has been blocked or cut. Once the damaged portion has been removed, the tubes are reconnected to form a complete, open fallopian tube.  The fallopian tubes are the passageway through which the released eggs travel and meet with a man’s sperm and become fertilized.

During National Infertility Week, starting today October 20th, a lot of attention in the media will be given to the treatment of In Vitro Fertilitzation (IVF). This is a technologically advanced treatment for most causes of infertility. But what about those couples who want to have a baby but can’t because of a previous tubal ligation? There are hundreds of thousands of infertile couples in this group in the US. Is IVF the best treatment for them? Let’s compare the two treatments to see which might be the best one for women whose tubes have been tied.

Tubal Reversal Message Board members discuss testing for pregnancy after outpatient tubal ligation reversal surgery. One tube reversal patient had her menstrual period, but found out a few days later she was actually pregnant. Another sterilization reversal patient had a very faint line two days in a row and confirmed a positive pregnancy after tubes reversed by having a blood test at her doctor’s office. Pregnancy success can happen after tied tubes are untied!
