With the relaxation of the two-child policy, many couples are considering having another child. However, issues like advanced maternal age and difficulty conceiving can be a source of frustration. Recently, a friend asked us if it's possible to get pregnant again with IVF technology after a tubal ligation. Today, we'll give you a detailed answer.

 

First, it's important to clarify that "ligation" here primarily refers to female "tubal ligation." The fallopian tubes act as a bridge for sperm and eggs to meet during natural conception. If the fallopian tubes are tied, sperm and eggs cannot meet, making natural conception extremely difficult.

 

However, the principle of IVF technology is completely different. It involves retrieving a woman's eggs and fertilizing them with treated sperm in a culture dish outside the body. This process bypasses the function of the fallopian tubes entirely, thus overcoming infertility caused by tubal issues. After the embryos are formed and cultured for 3-5 days, they are then transferred back into the mother's uterus to continue development.

 

Therefore, for infertility caused by tubal problems—whether it's blockage, removal, ligation, or abnormal function—IVF technology is a viable solution.

 

It's worth noting that IVF-PGT technology involves screening the blastocysts for genetic and hereditary diseases after culturing them for 5-7 days. Only after obtaining chromosomally normal, healthy embryos will they be transferred. This method effectively prevents a variety of genetic diseases, significantly increases the success rate of the transfer, and reduces the occurrence of miscarriage and fetal demise. This is undoubtedly an important safeguard for older couples planning to have a second child.

 

So, is IVF the only option after tubal ligation? The answer is no. Before IVF technology existed, a woman could have surgery to reopen and reconnect the ligated fallopian tubes, and then attempt natural conception. While the success rate for natural conception after this surgery is relatively low, it remains an option.

 

However, if the couple is older or if a medical evaluation shows a very low chance of natural conception, then IVF technology is a more reliable and efficient choice.
