Essure Tubal Ligation Questions

QUESTION:

"I have an Essure tubal ligation and I have been referred for IVF (in vitro fertilization) but the doctor told me that I have to have the Essure devices removed before they can do IVF. Can you do that?"

ANSWER:

I have very good news for you. We can not only remove your Essure we can hook your tubes back up so you can get pregnant without IVF.

Lakeshore Surgical Center was the first clinic to reverse an Essure. And now we are excited to announce that the first Essure Reversal baby was born on January 27, 2010, baby boy and mother are doing well.

Most IVF doctors require that the Essure is removed because the tail of the Essure acts like an IUD preventing the pregnancy from growing in the womb.

We have had one patient that was told the only way to remove the Essure was to do a hysterectomy. We have already reversed her Essure and she is trying to get pregnant
