Tubal Reversal Surgery More Successful Than IVF
Members of The Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center message board discuss having tubal reversal surgery after failed IVF attempts. For most women who have had their tubes tied and now desire more children, tubal reversal surgery is more successful and less expensive than the other option of in vitro fertilization (IVF). With IVF, drugs must be administered and a minor surgical procedure performed each time a women wants to try to conceive. With pregnancy rates of only 27% per cycle - and a cost of approximately $10,000 - $15,000 per cycle, IVF can become expensive quickly. When the reversal is performed by Dr. Gary Berger, success rates are nearly 75% and the cost is a one-time all-inclusive fee of $5900.
