Risks of Tubal Reversal vs In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
Tubal ligation reversal is surgery and that always has its risks. Thankfully
complications of any sort are rare with tubal reversals and a lot less likely
than a complication from IVF. The fertility drugs used with IVF have been
linked to ovarian cancer and they can cause ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.
Retrieval of the eggs can be painful and has caused serious infections.
I am glad this technology is available to those that have no other choice
but if you can be reversed, tubal ligation should be your first choice.
With tubal ligation reversal, as an outpatient, you take several
days to get your tubes reversed and several more to recover and its over.
IVF requires visits for ultrasound to monitor egg production, a visit to
retrieve the egg(s), and a visit to put the fertilized embryo back in your
womb. If you have a job, you will need an understanding boss. If you are
a stay-at-home mom you will need childcare. The time commitment with IVF
is enormous.
Most doctors do not know of the advances in the past 5 years in tubal reversal
surgery so their advice is often based on old information. Like you, they
have to go to the web to find facilities like ours that specialize in reversing
tubal ligations and have the benefit of extensive experience.
I don’t care who told you to go for IVF. I have enough problems with
my own shortcomings I won’t apologize for others, but I will tell
you if you can be reversed get it done first. Come here, go somewhere else
but consider reversal first.
