A case of tubal ligation may choose between tubal reversal and IVF to become pregnant again. Here is a comparative study:
Success rate
In vitro fertilization (IVF) witnesses variable rates of success, ranging between 10%and 50%. The rate of success of IVF further declines if the age of the patient crosses 35 years.
Tubal ligation reversal cases enjoys success rate between 69% and 76%, depending upon the nature of tubal ligation reversed in each individual case.
Cost
The cost of one IVF cycle can range between 9000 to 20000 USD and a patient may require undergoing minimum three cycles to try to become a parent. The cost of tubal ligation can be 5400 USD to 25000 USD.
Risk Involved
Tubal ligation reversal is a very safe procedure, unless the patient is extremely obese or suffers from some heart/ lung or other vascular disease.
A patient undergoing IVF runs risk of suffering from mild to severe Ovarian Hyper Stimulation Syndrome (OHSS) at the rate of 33% to 8-9% respectively.
