There are 2 methods to achieve a pregnancy after having a tubal ligation: tubal reversal or IVF. In order to determine the chances of conceiving with either approach, we recommend having a basic fertility assessment as well as obtaining the details of the tubal ligation surgery (operative and pathology report). This last point is critical because the success of the reversal is intimately related to the specific method used to perform the surgery.

There are two options for possible pregnancy. One is a reversal and the other would be IVF.

The chances of achieving pregnancy through in vitro fertilization (IVF), considering you're under the age of 35, is 50-60%. IVF is a more aggressive form of fertility treatment without having to undergo tubal ligation reversal.

Hello and thank you for your question. There is more than a 90% chance that at least one tube will be open after the reversal. At your age, the chance of a conception in the following year will be in excess of 65%. This depends on how your tubes were tied. Many surgeons will review your old surgical notes at no charge prior to the consultation.

At age 33 you have up to a 75% chance of becoming pregnant after tubal reversal. However, you should be aware that those chances can be affected by various factors. The fertility specialist you consult with will need to consider the type of ligation you had, and also look at your ovarian reserve and tubal health, among other things.

I had the Hulka clips put on during a tubal ligation procedure when I was 24 years old. I am now 30 and my husband and I want another child. We are uncertain if my irregular periods are being caused by some of the Hulka clips coming off, or maybe the tube has grown around them. Is this likely and would either cause irregular periods? Also, would tubal reversal be a good option if we are considering having another child?
