What you want to know most is what things will affect your pregnancy after tubal reversal. After all the point behind having tubal ligation reversal surgery is to get pregnant and have a child. So just what factors affect how fast you can get pregnant or even how good your chances are of becoming pregnant after undergoing the reversal procedure?

The first factor you will need to look at when hoping to conceive a child is your age. Whether a woman has undergone tubal ligation or not, we all know that age plays a part in getting pregnant, or otherwise we would not be hearing the old clock ticking, so to speak. For a woman who is considering undergoing tubal ligation reversal, she will find her chances of getting pregnant are enhanced the younger she is.

Some facts and figures relating to how age affects conception rates is as follows. A woman still in her twenties will find she has about a 77% chance of getting pregnant. Older still at 35-39, the rate fall to only a 62% chance of getting pregnant. And of course, for a woman who has gone past the 40 milestone, her chances of conception are only 34%.

Length of the Fallopian Tubes - How quickly a woman is likely to get pregnant after the reversal procedure is carried out will depend on how long her tubes are. For some women they may discover that they are able to conceive within a month of the procedure taking place, while for others it can take up to 5 years or more. Certainly the better the condition of the tubes and how well they have been reconnected will help to increase their chances of being able to get pregnant.

Again time has a part to play in this next factor and that has to do with how much time has passed since the original tubal ligation procedure. A woman who is having a tubal reversal done only five years since her original surgery to have her tubes tied will be better off than someone who has waited fifteen years or better. The longer it has been, the longer the time for some damage to occur to the tubes which means the greater the chances of things not being successful. However, we are not saying you can't conceive after a tubal ligation reversal, only that you shouldn't waste time if that is what you want and to be aware that it is a factor.

Is Tubal Reversal a better option than IVF? - In a number of studies that have been carried out over the years relating to this matter, many women have found that having tubal reversal surgery rather than under going IVF (in vitro fertilization) treatment has been more successful.

Speaking of studies,there is one study that was conducted by a renown reversal center, Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center, http://www.tubal-reversal.net, that showed that there was a higher number of conceptions in women who have the tubal reversal surgery versus women who underwent the IVF treatments. Even better was that the number of children actually born was higher for the women who had the surgery versus the women who did the IVF. When you consider that the surgery generally takes, for Chapel Hill, one hour and is done on an outpatient basis, this lowers the cost compared to IVF. Most women undergoing IVF will have to do it over and over again at a goodly sum each time.

By taking into consideration the factors above a woman will be able to make a more informed decision as to whether this type of procedure is right for her or not. It is important to remember however that pregnancy after tubal reversal surgery may not always happen immediately and it will take time before a woman is able to conceive.
