In fact, in vitro fertilization (IVF) was invented primarily to correct for tubal factor infertility, that being the inability to conceive because of various amounts of tubal blockage which stand in the way of sperm and egg uniting within a woman's body.

So, yes, IVF should assist you in conceiving.

You can also consider reversal of the tubal procedure (called reanastomosis). There are pro's and con's to both IVF and reversal, and you should weigh all of them before deciding. Not all types of tubal ligation are correctable through reanastomosis, so your new surgeon might benefit from access to your previous medical records in order to help guide you.

As anyone who's been through it can tell you, the entire IVF process can be emotionally and physically exhausting, just as surgery can be. Take the time to talk with your partner about the specifics of both surgery and IVF, the financial aspects, the time involved (and how your current lifestyle will be affected), the physical factors, etc.
