Pregnancy Testing After Tubal Reversal

A member of the Tubal Reversal Message Board of Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center writes in to ask about pregnancy testing after having tubes reversed. HCG levels will rise in any pregnancy, whether it’s ectopic or intrauterine. Because of the risk of tubal pregnancy (approximately 10-15 percent) following tubal surgery, it is important to notify your obstetrician-gynecologist and the reversal doctors of Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center as soon as you have a positive pregnancy test. A tubal pregnancy cannot lead to live birth and must be interrupted. Following the recommended early pregnancy monitoring protocol is the best way to prevent the risk of tubal rupture.
