Frequently Asked Questions

What are my choices if my tubes have been tied?

Genetics & IVF Institute
Basically there are two choices, surgery to try and repair the tubes or In Vitro Fertililization (IVF). There are pros and cons to each choice and often the best choice depends on your unique situation. Surgery offers the option of attempting pregnancy naturally indefinitely without repeated treatments, but carries the rare risks of surgery and in some cases is not successful depending on the type of tubal ligation or tubal damage done initially.

Can I still donate if my tubes are tied?

Footsteps to Family - Ovum Donor FAQ :::
Yes. Tubal ligation does not impact the ability to donate eggs. In fact, it eliminates the possibility of unintended pregnancy while the donor is taking the stimulation drugs and in the menstrual cycles immediately following the donation. Chances of conception are actually increased during these times.

Is it true that women who have their tubes tied are protected against endometriosis?

Endometriosis FAQ
Theoretically, blockage of the tubes by tubal ligation or by any other cause (for instance, pelvic inflammatory disease) should protect against the further production of endometriosis. However, a recent investigation of women requesting tubal ligation reversal has not supported this concept. The prevalence rates for endometriosis were found to range from 2 percent through 12 percent in two studies. When an infertile population is studied, these rates range from 5 percent through 35 percent.

Can IUI work after tubal ligation (having "tubes tied")?

My ParenTime | Features-IUI FAQ
No. A tubal ligation is effective birth control because it prevents the sperm and egg from meeting. The process that leads to pregnancy is having an egg released from a follicle in the ovary and then beginning the journey to the uterus through the fallopian tube. Sperm will travel from the vagina, through the cervix, through the uterus, into the tube where fertilization occurs. IUI bypasses the need for the sperm to travel through the cervix, but that's it.

Family Source Consultants: Surrogacy and Egg Donation Agency

You will need to firstly undergo a reanastomosis, a surgery which can be performed in some cases, depending on which method was used to tie your tubes. This procedure is carried out in the hospital setting and is performed in certain hospitals only. Once this step is completed, pregnancy may be possible with natural methods or by insemination, depending on the results obtained.

Q11: Can I get pregnant after having my tubes tied?

ReproMed Fertility Center, Dallas - Frequently Asked Questio...
Yes, patients have the option of surgically reuniting the fallopian tubes through a process called microscopic tubal reanastomosis. This can commonly be done as an outpatient procedure with good results. Depending on other infertility factors, couples are able to conceive in a short interval of time. An alternative to this procedure would be in vitro fertilization (IVF), where the eggs are fertilized outside the body.

Is it true that women who have their tubes tied are protected from endometriosis?

Endometriosis
Theoretically, blockage of the tubes by tubal ligation or from any other cause (for instance, pelvic inflammatory disease) should prevent the further progression of endometriosis. A biopsy of the lesion documents the presence of endometrial tissue. Today, many surgeons will videotape the laparoscopy and this can be reviewed at a later date if there are any questions.

Can’t my wife just have her tubes tied (tubal ligation)?

Vasectomy Clinics of Chicago | Male and Female Sterilization...
Yes. In comparison, tubal ligation (sterilization) for a woman is a more significant operation which is more difficult for a woman than a vasectomy is for a man. While a vasectomy is performed in-office under local anesthesia, tubal ligation is more invasive and is done in the hospital or surgical center under general anesthesia. Tubal ligation can result in greater discomfort, has potentially higher risks, has a longer recovery period, and has a lower success rate than a vasectomy.

The incision heals within a few days with practically no scarring or injury to the eardrum.
