Tubal Reversal vs. IVF

“Should I get a tubal reversal or go with IVF?” 

It is one of the most popular FAQ we receive.  And for us, it’s easy to answer.

Because our Albany/Rochester/Syracuse IVF success rates are equal to those after a tubal surgery – and come with far less risk, inconvenience and cost to our patients – we strongly suggest in Vitro fertilization (IVF).

HERE’S WHY IVF IS BETTER

With respect to your health, time, money, and fertility success, our fertility experts recommend IVF as a much more effective pathway to pregnancy than tubal reversal.

Here’s why:

  • Choosing IVF means future birth control is not needed; the Fallopian tubes remain tied
  • IVF has higher success rates than a tubal reversal
  • Women can become pregnant more quickly via IVF
  • Tubal reversals require major surgery
  • IVF does not require a hospital stay
  • IVF does not require an extended recovery period
  • 20% of tubal reversals result in ectopic/failed pregnancies
  • Ectopic pregnancies require emergency treatment
  • With IVF, the risk of ectopic pregnancy is just 1%
  • One IVF cycle costs less than a tubal reversal surgery
