Did you know there is an alternative to IVF and that it is tubal surgery? Whether this type of an operation will work for you depends upon the reason for your infertility. However, you should definitely be aware that IVF is not the only recourse for infertility. Tubal surgery can be your answer instead.
So where does tubal surgery come in? Many times a woman finds out her infertility problems are due to some type of tubal blockage. This can be devastating to her and her spouse. But this is the type of infertility problem where tubal surgery can shine.
To best compare to tubal surgery, let's learn a bit more about IVF. Using various resources around the web including the NY Times and CNN, you can find that one cycle of IVF will be $10,000 to $12,000. During this cycle, you will be given a course of drugs to boost your egg producing ability and to prepare your body. The eggs are gathered and then fertilized. At the appointed time of development, they are placed in your uterus where you will hope one or more implants itself.
However, some women are too old to have viable eggs and have to use an egg donor. This was the story in a NY Times article about a 49 year old woman who had recently gotten married and they decided they wanted children. The eggs for her came from a 20-something Romanian woman. So there was not only the procedure but the cost of the egg donor.
No matter what hell you may go through in order to become ready, whether to produce your own eggs and carry a fetus or just to carry the fetus, you may not be lucky enough to maintain the pregnancy. Usually this seems to be a case of implantation not taking place.
Now you have to go through it all again who knows how many times. You have to pay for each cycle you will go through. Usually you can count on more than one cycle with all the cost, time and potential damage done to your body.
Now with tubal surgery, a surgeon goes in and removes the bad part of your tubes where the blockage is located. It's just like what they do to reverse a tubal ligation. Once the blockage is removed, the remaining good sections of your fallopian tubes are sewn back together. No blockage means the egg can now get through and you can try to get pregnant again and again.
So how good is the success rate of IVF to tubal surgery? Let's use the study Dr. Berger did on his tubal surgery patients. He had a success rate up to 87%. You can check out his site yourself to see the various factors that play into the success rate and how it varies. Looking at one cycle of in vitro fertilization, you will find that there is only a 30% success rate. As we said before, you usually have to go through more than one cycle of IVF and this is why making tubal surgery a much better option for women who have infertility due to tubal blockage.
