I just found out that I can not have artificial insemination because I have a tubal ligation. I was told that my best bet is IVF. Which procedure is cheaper Tubal Reversal or IVF? Can someone give me an approximate of the cost of either one of these procedures? How do I go about looking for a doctor who specializes in either one of these procedures? My tubal was done in Germany 15 years ago, and I will not be able to get my operative notes. Will that be a problem for me as far as the length of time my tubes has been tied, and also as far as the operative notes? This is my second marriage and my husband wants a child. He doesn't have any, and I would like to make his dream of having a child come true. I am 43 and I don't want to wait too long. If there is anyone out there with answers to my questions please help me. I would really appreciate that. Thanks.
