What Is It Called When...... Posted: 10-05-04 09:55am
I got a question for everyone....What is
it called when a docter transfers a sperm
and inserts it into an egg and places it
back into a woman womb? What if she got
her tubes tied....Does she still have
eggs? And how much will this procedure
cost.....Please help me because I want to
have a baby with her and this is the only
procedure that I can think of.

She can get her tubes untied and she can
get pregnant there is no need for the
sperm to be place in her egg just because
she have her tubes tied does mean anything
they are close off so no sperm fertilize
her egg.
Good luck !

I believe that you are talking about
in-vitro fertilizer (ivf). I think it is
quite expensive, my guess is a few of
$10,000. There is another one I heard of
is artificial insemination (iui) in which
they give her fertility drug to help
produce more eggs and directly inject
sperms into her.
I have a relative who had ivf done
oversea. They now have 3 little children
from this procedure.
Well, before you go that far, I would try
the natural way first. Again, if my
memory is right 1 in 3 of women who have
her tube untide are able to get pregnant
again. Consult your doctor about your
plan. Good luck.
I don't think they can do ivf on a woman
with tubes tied. She would first have to
have that reversed, but that is not very
easy.
Why don't you consider adoption? Even if
it is hard to adopt locally, there are
still so many unwanted babies in
developing countries. If you just want to
make a baby with this woman, rather than
becoming a parent to have a child to share
your life, isn't that pretty selfish given
the circumstances?
