tubal reversal or IVF?

October 04, 2008

I'm a 31 yr old with 3 children, had my tubes tied in 2003. Now divorced my fiance wants another child (he has 1 biological) What would be the best choice for me... I'm healthy and had no problems getting pregnant before my tubal but cost is definitely an issue. How much would IVF cost also?

IVF will be a few thousand dollars more than reversal...

If you desire more than one child, reversal is good, you're young enough also...

Much also depends how you were sterilized...if by laparoscopy with cautery, then tubal reversal is not a good option..

For all other reasons, IVF can always be performed with a high likelihood of success given tubal factor

IVF can cost without meds between $7,000 to $11,000

My tubes were cut, tied and burned... No hope for reversal?

I don't think so regrets...I just had mine done and that's how they did mine. They actually took a snip of piece out and then tied and burned them. They went in through my belly button.

oh wow, that was spill proof wasn't it... That's what they did to me too. How long have you been trying?

Not trying anymore..I just had my little guy in May, he's five months old now. It was my third baby but 5th pregnancy. I'm in my 2nd marriage and have two kids from my 1st one. My dh now wanted a child of his own, so we had little Cameron :) I'm sort of regretting having mine done though. And they asked me over and over and over are you sure, really sure??? I kept saying heck ya, three's enough, but now, I don't know...

I was told that if I ever decided to have another IVF would be my only option.

Congrats on your little cutie! sounds kinda like my situation... My fiance has only 1 from a previous and i have 4 from a previous marriage. He'd like 1 more because he thinks he's getting too old (he's only 32). When i had my tubes tied I never expected to get divorced and with someone who'd want more children. After your journey what do you suggest?

Thanks Tina that's sweet of you! I have lots of questions too, I really appreciate it =)... I'm so sorry about your m/c =( Good luck!

Well I'd suggest trying the IVF. I really think that's the only way you'll have a chance. Sucks that costs so much!! Keep me posted though and hey, tell you fiance that he's not old..my goodness!!! :))))
