I am a 48 year old who has had a tubal ligation, can I get pregnant with fertility drugs if I decide not to have a tubal reversal?

I am 48 years old. I had my tubes cut, tied and burned 22 yrs ago. Can I become pregnant if I use fertility drugs, or have sperm injected without having a tubal reversal done? If not, what other options do me and my partner have?

At your age, IVF utilizing donor eggs will be your only option.

When I was 17, I had to have the laparoscopic sterilization after having two kids. I am now 26 and married. Is there a chance I can get pregnant again without any reversal? I heard I could because I was so young when they did the laparoscopic sterilization.
