There is a procedure called "tubal
ligation reversal" for women who have
undergone a tubal ligation and afterwards
decide to become pregnant. This procedure
can be performed for several reasons and
several factors are considered before the
procedure: the type of tubal ligation
procedure originally performed, the age of
the woman (in your case, above 40 years
you should consult your health provider),
and how the damage created by the original
tubal ligation correlates to the success
of the tubal ligation reversal. If tubal
ligation reversal is not possible, then in
vitro fertilization is the next procedure
you might consider. You may consult your
gynecologist for further examinations and
advice.
