Pregnancy And Birth Rates: Tubal Reversal vs. IVF

Pregnancy Rates And Birth Rates

The tubal reversal pregnancy statistics from Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center can be compared with the latest available national IVF statistics (National Summary and Fertility Clinic Reports).

During 2004 in the United States, 94,242 IVF cycles using fresh non-donor eggs or embryos were begun. Of these, 31,758 (34%) resulted in pregnancy and 25,059 (27%) resulted in live birth deliveries. Pregnancy rates after tubal reversal and after IVF were compared based on the age categories reported in the National Summary and Fertility Clinic Reports (Figure 3). The pregnancy rate after tubal reversal was higher than after IVF within every age group.
