Knowing What Affects Pregnancy After Tubal Reversal
What you want to know most is what things will affect your pregnancy after tubal reversal. After all the point behind having tubal ligation reversal surgery is to get pregnant and have a child. So just what factors affect how fast you can get pregnant or even how good your chances are of becoming pregnant after undergoing the reversal procedure?
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%.
The next factor that plays a part in getting pregnant after a tubal ligation reversal procedure is how long the fallopian tubes were left from the original tube tying procedure. The more the doctor has to work with the better the chances are. Some will find they conceive quickly but others will take five years or more. The condition of the fallopian tubes, the length they were left and thus what the doctor has left to reconnect, and how well they are reconnected all play a part in how soon you can get pregnant and what your chances of getting pregnant are.
How long since the tubal ligation surgery was carried out? - Unfortunately the longer a woman waits in order to get her tubal ligation procedure reversed will greatly reduce her chances of being able to conceive easily. This is because the longer they wait the more damage will have been caused to their fallopian tubes, which in turn reduces the chances of the operation actually being successful.
Is Tubal Reversal a better option than IVF? - In a number of studies that have been carried out over the years relating to this matter, many women have found that having tubal reversal surgery rather than under going IVF (in vitro fertilization) treatment has been more successful.
Speaking of studies,there is one study that was conducted by a renown reversal center, Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center, http://www.tubal-reversal.net, that showed that there was a higher number of conceptions in women who have the tubal reversal surgery versus women who underwent the IVF treatments. Even better was that the number of children actually born was higher for the women who had the surgery versus the women who did the IVF. When you consider that the surgery generally takes, for Chapel Hill, one hour and is done on an outpatient basis, this lowers the cost compared to IVF. Most women undergoing IVF will have to do it over and over again at a goodly sum each time.
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.

You’ll need to enter the date your period started last month, the length of your cycle and an approximation of your luteal phase length.
Now, the way you get these numbers is quite simple. Get a calendar and write down the first day of your last two periods. Okay, start counting days from the first day of your last period until the day before your most recent period; this is the number of days in your cycle. This number can be anywhere from 20-45 days, with 28 days being the average.

This is not an exact science, so assume you might be fertile 2 days before and 2 days after that approximate ovulation date.
If you want to incorporate the luteal phase in your calculation, then monitor the daily changes in your cervical mucus as well as your BBT. These two basic pieces of information can really help the accuracy of your fertility calculation.
