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.
If you have learned that your infertility problems are due to tubal blockage, you might want to consider tubal surgery as your means to overcome this issue. A tubal surgeon will remove the blockage during the operation and make the fallopian tube whole again.
Consider these interesting facts using the New York Times and CNN and resources. A course or cycle of IVF can cost you around $10,000 to $12,000. The time involved in one cycle can be three to eight weeks while they try to boost your hormones to cause you to super ovulate. When you do, you will produce several eggs which will be retrieved in order to do fertilization outside your body before being implanted in your uterus.
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.
Usually women want to know the success rate when they look at tubal surgery. Funny they don't ask when it comes to IVF but we'll provide the data here. Using a study of one doctor's tubal surgery patients in 2007, we can find it is successful in up to 87% of women. There are factors that affect that rate which you should go study yourself. For IVF, we see that the success rate of any one cycle is 30% which is still much lower than the tubal surgery success rates even among women in their late 40s and early 50s. This makes tubal surgery a better option than IVF for women who suffer tubal blockage. - 15437
