Fallopian tubes tied or removed?

What if I regret having the sterilisation?

It is important for you to be absolutely sure that you do not want children (anymore) before undergoing a sterilisation. Nevertheless, some women will regret their sterilisation. Unfortunately, it is usually not possible to reverse a sterilisation.

What if I regret having my Fallopian tubes tied?

The gynaecologist can attempt a recovery procedure that will open the Fallopian tubes again. This is not always successful.

If a recovery procedure is not possible or not successful, then IVF treatment is an option to achieve pregnancy. IVF is the process where an embryo is created in the laboratory.

What if I regret having my Fallopian tubes removed?

A recovery procedure is not an option once the Fallopian tubes have been removed. It is a permanent form of sterilisation. You will no longer be able to get pregnant naturally. IVF treatment is still an option.
