Pregnancy Statistics Study - Tubal Reversal The Best
January 4, 2010 • Category : Pregnancy
When wondering which option is better for a pregnancy after tubal ligation, you can now find the pregnancy statistics which will give you the answer. You can find these statistics in the largest study to date on tubal reversal patients and since the results are published on the Internet, you can look at them yourself to verify all the below.
The Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center recently published the results of an eight year study on tubal reversal surgery. In this study are the pregnancy statistics of over 5000 patients. The data from these women was collected on their patients over this time period. In the study's findings, you can learn just what factors affect the pregnancy outcomes and what your chances of a pregnancy are.
Not only does the study provide information about pregnancy after tubal reversal surgery, it compares this data to IVF data as well. As IVF is considered by many to be the best option after tubal ligation that makes this study is very important. Indeed many women and even their doctors do not even know that the tubal reversal option exists for any woman who has changed her mind after having her tubes tied. This can be seen by the type of training even reproductive endocrinologists have which has little, if any, training on tubal reversal.
The IVF data used in this comparison is from a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the data comes from fertility clinics and specialists across the U.S. No one has ever done such a thing for tubal reversal surgery which is the only other real option if a woman wants to have a child through her own pregnancy. You merely need to review the study's findings and comparisons with the CDC's own results to decide which is best for you. It could help to know that tubal reversal surgery on average is also cheaper than IVF.
Furthermore, in this CHTRC study, you can find out what the pregnancy statistics say are your chances of getting pregnant given different factors. As you probably know, tubal ligation can be done in several different ways including ligature and resection methods, clips, rings, other devices, and burning. These do have an effect on how successful your surgery could be.
Additional factors are how much of your fallopian tubes are left after the operation and how old you are at the time of the procedure. Using the charts available on the site where the pregnancy statistics were published, you can see what your chances are given your situation. In all cases, the live birth outcome of tubal reversal surgery was better than those of IVF.
