Having a baby after tube tying

My wife had her tubes tied after we had our last baby. She was only 24 and we never thought we would want more than 4 children, but lately we both can't stop thinking we'd love to have another one. Is there any chance we could still have another baby?

There is a surgery to reverse tubal ligation. It is not routinely done but some experts do it. However, nowadays with the emergence of IVF (in vitro...) treatment one can "easily" conceive even without tubes. So it all depends how far you want to go with the desire for a baby...

Fertility Stories - infertility experiences of people like you.

It is possible to go for surgery for tubal ligation reversal, which has a success rate of up to 60%.  Depending on how your tubal was done, it may be more or less successful.

IVF - in vitro fertilization -  has a success rate of up to 25% *per cycle*. If what interests you most is getting pregnant (health and financial issues aside) you're probably more likely to succeed with IVF in the long run.

You might also want to consider adoption...

Good luck!
