to become preganant through IVF after having balloon ablation 2 years ago

I had my tubes tied 9 years ago, and 2years ago I had ablation done with the balloon. Now my husband would
like another child. Can or would a fertility specialist help us through IVF procedure. I still have regular periods
every month and I also have looked up all the dangers of this situation.

Anne - I agree w/Sally.  The only way you can get answers to your questions is to talk to a reproductive endocrinologist.  He/she will be the best one to evaluate your case to even see if IVF is an option.

I had my tubes tied 15 years ago and got pregnant through IVF last year but I didn't have an ablation either.  All I really know about ablation is what Sally said in her post.  Lining is definitely an issue in order to get pregnant through IVF.  Anyway, good luck to you!

Hi Anne,

I think you would need to talk to a specialist directly to see if this is possible or not.

However I understand that pregnancy is not recommended after ablation, as the lining of the uterus has been severely damaged.  I guess they would have to assess whether pregnancy would be possible / safe after your procedure.

Have you considered using a surrogate?  I don't know if this is an option for you.

Best wishes

Sally
