First of all, we need to specify what is the tubal sterilization. It consists of a surgery that will make permanent a sterilization process, this means that no conception will be possible. This surgery will block or cut the fallopian tubes to avoid any egg to arrive into the uterus, avoiding then the fertilization with sperm.
Nevertheless, there are two possibilities to conceive after having this kind of contraception:
- An in vitro fertilization (IVF)
- A tubal reversal
In Centro FiVER we always recommend the IVF due to the following reasons:
- Avoid surgery risks
- No need to wait to get pregnant (for the tubal reversal, it can take up to 1 year to get pregnant again)
- The best embryo will be selected in the lab
- No risk of ectopic pregnancy
- The success rate will be higher in case any other reason of infertility exists.
- No need to use contraception again after as the tubes will still be blocked
- The cost is not much higher than a tubal reversal
Obviously, the final decision will be make with the doctor’s advice and with the patients consent.
