For most women, however, reverse tubal surgery is the better option. Once the tubes are repaired, there is a chance that pregnancy canoccur naturally every month. With IVF, medications must be administered by injection and a minor surgical procedure performed each time pregnancy is attempted. Based on current national statistics, the pregnancy rate for IVF is approximately 30% and costs $10,000 to $20,000 for each treatment cycle. Compare this to tubal ligation reversal at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center where pregnancy rates are as high as 86% and the one-time fee is as low as $5400. Dr. Gary Berger and Dr. Charles Monteith conducted the most comprehensive study done to date of reverse tubal surgery and its resulting outcomes, showing that for the majority of women who have undergone a tubal ligation procedure and decide later they would like to have more children, tubal reversal is a better option than in vitro fertilization (IVF).

Besides having higher success rates, the one-hour outpatient procedure is less than half the cost of an IVF cycle.
