Pregnancy Statistics For Tubal Reversal and IVF Rates

103 36
When you are considering a pregnancy after tubal ligation, your choices are usually IVF or tubal reversal.
This means you probably want to know the pregnancy statistics for both.
We now know the IVF rates of success and the pregnancy rates for tubal reversal as well.
This is due to a recent pregnancy study conducted by a tubal reversal center on over 5000 patients and the results of the Centers for Disease Control IVF data collection from 2006.
While most women seeking another pregnancy are readily told about IVF by their doctors and by any fertility clinic they may contact, chances are they find out about tubal reversal through their own research.
Why? Simply because most people, the professionals included, do not realize that tubal ligation reversal surgery is a viable alternative.
Generally it is less costly than IVF as well.
Furthermore, doctors are not even receiving training in tubal surgery either these days.
This is why the new pregnancy statistics study is so important.
You can now look at its results for yourself and see how they compare to the IVF rates for both pregnancies and live births.
In fact, if you wish to dig through the CDC's report yourself for the IVF rates, it is available at cdc.

However, it may simply be easier to review the charts available within the results of the pregnancy statistics study from CHTRC.
The chart shows the results broken down by age group using the same groups as the CDC study making it easier for you to understand.
In every case, whether pregnancy rates or live births, tubal reversal surgery comes out ahead.
When you take into account that you get more than one shot with the surgery for that one time cost, the effect becomes cumulative and your pregnancy rates will be higher.
Each time you want to use IVF, you will have to pay again.
This cost can be minimized by using frozen embryos from your first try.
However, 43% of women do try more than once to get a live birth meaning additional cost.
Just a guess, but since it is so costly and since only 36% result in a pregnancy and only 82% of those result in a live birth meaning only about 30% of IVF cycles result in a baby, there are many women who can only afford to try once.
And the more times you try the more likely you are not to be successful.
From the CDC's own study, "In all age groups up to age 42, success rates were lower for women who had previously undergone an unsuccessful ART cycle.
" Given these IVF rates and the pregnancy statistics for tubal reversal, which one will you choose?
