Knowing about tubal reversal success is probably a key piece of information you are wanting to know. That is, if you have decided you want another child and to get your tubes untied. If you are wanting to do it for relief of post tubal ligation syndrome problems, then maybe the tubal reversal pregnancy success rates aren't quite as important.

If you have done any looking around you may already know that success after reversing your tubal will generally depend upon three things provided you are healthy otherwise. Those three major determining factors are the method used to tie your tubes, what your age is at the time of the reversal and what length of tubes are left after any damage has been removed and the tubes sutured back together.

The only easily reached published source of information broken down by these three areas comes to us from the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center's website. That being the case, we will use their statistics in the rest of this article. Just be aware these statistics are coming from a surgeon with the experience of having done over 7000 surgeries and who does them five days a week, up to four surgeries a day. You just aren't going to get that kind of experience and success with some local do-it-once-a-year type of doctor.

Organizing our list of tubal ligation methods, we will see that you have the best chance if your doctor used rings or clips with a 76% chance. The worst chance is if you had a fimbriectomy which still gives you a better than 50-50 shot. And that's a better chance than you get with any one cycle of IVF.

As you might guess, your age plays a big role in your success as well. Face it. A 45 year old woman is just not going to have as good a chance as a 25 year old woman. This bears out in the tubal reversal success rates as well. If you are 29 or younger, your chances of getting pregnant are 82%. If you are 30 to 34, it's 76% and at 35 to 39 it's 67%, The statistics show if you are over 40, the success rates fall to 41% but you do need to know that a couple of women in their 50s are included in that last figure.

Looking at the length of the fallopian tubes left after removal of any damaged tube portions and the anastomosis, you will find the longer the tube, the higher the rate of success. Women with a 7.5 cm or longer tube had a 80% chance of becoming pregnant while women with less than 2.5 cm of tube left had about a 38% chance.

One last statistic for you to consider is the increase in chances of having an ectopic pregnancy. This raises only by 10% but you should know it as well. One other thing to consider is that getting pregnant and staying that way are two different things. Women who have tubal reversal surgery usually watch their cycles much more closely than most women and are much more aware of when things are happening. Due to this they are better able to make reports back to Dr. Berger. These additional statistics have also found their way into his pregnancy statistics on his website for your review.

Hopefully this article will answer some of the questions you have about tubal reversal success. Just check out our resources below to look over the information for yourself.
