How to Get Pregnant Without a Tubal Reversal

A tubal reversal is a surgical procedure to undo a tubal ligation. In a tubal ligation, a doctor ties off the fallopian tubes by cutting, blocking or burning them. This surgery prevents eggs from traveling down the fallopian tubes into the uterus where they can be fertilized. Some women later regret being sterilized and decide that they want to become pregnant. Doctors invented tubal reversals, but this method is not entirely successful. But there are a few ways to increase the chances of becoming pregnant without a tubal reversal

      Give yourself time. In the first years of having a tubal ligation, the success rate for avoiding pregnancy is almost 100 percent. But as the years pass, the procedure becomes less effective. In some women, the fallopian tubes reform, making pregnancy possible. There is no way of knowing if you will be one of these women, and a woman can do nothing to improve her chances of the tubes naturally reconnecting. Your chances of getting pregnant increase with each passing year following a tubal ligation, but you can't count on this happening.

      Use in vitro fertilization. This is the best way to get pregnant if a woman does not want a tubal ligation reversal, but there is no guarantee the procedure will work. In IVF, eggs are placed in a glass dish and fertilized with sperm. The fertilized eggs are then placed in the uterus of the woman who will carry the fetus. This method can work because the fallopian tubes are not involved. The needed eggs are extracted directly from the ovaries. This assisted reproductive technology is also a good choice for women in their late 30s or older. Even after menopause, IVF is a viable option because the uterus still functions. IVF is an expensive procedure, costing $10,000 to $15,000 per treatment. One of the risks of IVF is multiple births.

      Consider egg donation. Age plays an important part in pregnancy. Women older than 35 have a lower chance of getting pregnant even in the best of situations. The main problem is the egg quality in older women. With egg donation, healthy, younger women donate their eggs to help infertile women. Egg donation is a complicated procedure that involves weeks of drug therapy and surgery for the egg donor. IVF is the next step. IVF combined with egg donation increases the chances of conception. The woman carrying the child has no genetic connection to the fetus, only a physical and emotional one. Many fertility clinics pay women a few thousand dollars to donate their eggs.

      Check the donor's sperm quality. The chances of pregnancy always increase with good sperm quality. If the father-to-be has a low sperm count or poor sperm mobility, then pregnancy is harder to achieve. The father-to-be should have his sperm tested. To increase the chances of pregnancy, have as much information as possible about the fertility health of both partners. If fertility specialists think the sperm quality is low, artificial insemination is a possibility to improve the chances of pregnancy. Using donated sperm is also used frequently in IVF. To increases the chances of conception, using donated sperm or donated eggs with IVF is always an option for women who want to get pregnant without a tubal reversal.
