Both can help you achieve pregnancy after tubal ligation. Here's how they compare:
Tubal Ligation Reversal
— One-time outpatient surgery (1.5–2 hours)
— Natural conception possible after recovery
— Best for women under 35 with good tube length remaining
— Starting at $6,250
IVF
— Medically assisted fertilization each cycle
— Higher success rates for women over 35 or with additional fertility factors
— Includes genetic screening options (PGT)
— May be covered by some insurance plans
The right choice depends on your age, your ligation type, and your full fertility picture. Dr. Toma reviews every case individually and will tell you honestly which path gives you the best chance.
