<h1>What are the Factors Affecting Pregnancy After Tubal Reversal?</h1>
There are many factors which will need to be taken into consideration by a woman after tubal reversal surgery has been carried out and she is looking to conceive. Certainly for some women once the procedure has been done, they find they become pregnant quite quickly afterwards, but for others it will take some time. There are a number of different factors a woman will need to consider in relation to her pregnancy after tubal reversal actually being successful. 
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. 
A woman's age - As a woman grows older the chances of her conceiving become greatly reduced even if she hasn't had tubal ligation. However for those women that have had tubal ligation and then choose to have the operation reversed, they may find it even more difficult to conceive no matter their age. Although the chances of a woman conceiving after having the tubal ligation reversed are greatly increased the younger they are. For women who are under the age of 30 the chances of them getting pregnant after this procedure is around 77% but the older the woman is the chances of them conceiving are greatly reduced. For those women aged between 35 and 39 the chances of them getting pregnant drops to 62% and for women over the age of 40 their success rate is only 34%. 
Next factor is how long ago did you have the original tubal ligation procedure? It is an unfortunate fact but the longer it has been the more likely there has been some damage done to the tubes and thus lowering your chances of the reversal surgery being successful. Time just plays a big role in reversing the original procedure with several of the factors and this is one more. But that does not mean it is impossible. It just means your chances are less than someone who had it done more recently. 
Something else you may have considered, or are considering, is using in vitro fertilization, or IVF, instead of undergoing the reversal surgery. Your doctor may even push this option. However, a number of studies found that women having the tubal ligation reversal are more successful in conception than those undergoing the IVF treatment. 
One such study from the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center, www.tubal-reversal.net, where they keep excellent track of their patients, it was discovered that the women who had the tubal reversal done, instead of the IVF treatments, conceived more easily. In addition, the number of actual babies born after they became pregnant, was higher for the tubal reversal surgery than for those who underwent IVF. Even better is that the reversal surgery is done generally on an outpatient basis with only about an hour in surgery thus lowering the cost of this treatment versus the IVF treatment which can take many tries. 
Think about what we have written about in this article. Any of these things, maybe even all of them, can and will have an affect on the outcome of such a surgery. Conception will take time but the more the factors are to your benefit, perhaps the less time it will take for pregnancy after tubal reversal surgery and the sooner you will hold that darling infant in your arms.
