A Brief Biology Review

Conception in humans occurs after ovulation. Once a mature egg is released from the ovary, it enters the fallopian tube through the end called the fimbriated end. The opening of a healthy tube leads to a very important section called the ampulla. Sperm reach the tube after passing the cervix and the uterus (womb) and continue their journey through the part of the interstitial tube within the wall of the womb. The sperm continue to travel toward the ampulla by traveling through the longest part of the tube called the isthmic segment. At its end, the isthmic segment begins to dilate and becomes the ampulla. It is there fertilization occurs. The fertilized egg or zygote begins to divide as it travels down the fallopian tube toward the womb. Implantation occurs about the 5th or 6th day after fertilization.



Pregnancy is a wonderfully complex process that can be interrupted by a variety of factors including low sperm count, abnormal or blocked tubes, and also by poor egg quality. For this reason, we highly recommend your partner have a sperm count prior to you receiving any tubal reversal procedure. Your chances of a successful pregnancy are directly dependent on having a full-picture of your individual situation. Other variables include the length of the tube available for repair, the part of the tube that had been previously blocked, and the age of the female at the time of reversal.
