The desire to have children is very strong in many of us, and we go to great lengths to realize it.
Surgery remains an important step when the uterus has an abnormal shape.
Women who have uterine fibroids, polyps or scarring inside the uterus, usually need to have these problems fixed before pregnancy will be successful. Surgery in these cases is highly effective. Surgery can also be very effective for women who have had their tubes tied and want them untied. For instance, although very elaborate surgeries were devised years ago to fix tubes damaged by infections, they are rarely done these days. This is because the chance for pregnancy with one IVF try is much higher than after surgery.
