mother wanting more

I have been pregnent 3 times and have had 2 babys after my last I decided to get my tubes burnt I was young and unsure and now wish I wouldnt have done it. I was wondering if there is a way for me
to become pregnent again through artifical insimination. I would like information related to this subject

Because your tubes are no longer functional, artificial insemination will not work. You have to have fallopian tubes in order for the inseminated sperm to reach the egg. You would be able to get pregnant using IVF (in vitro fertilization) since in this treatment the eggs are removed from the ovary during a short procedure,  fertilized by the sperm in the lab, and then the best are chosen for transfer back into your uterus through your cervix. Thus, for IVF you do not need to have fallopian tubes.The success of IVF depends on your age. Success if very good if you are 35 or younger, then success rates start to fall.
