Is IVF possible after tubal ligation and vasectomy?

By Andrea Rodrigo B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).
Last Update: 12/13/2017

Yes, IVF with own eggs and own sperm is still possible. Just like the man continues producing sperm in spite of vasectomy and the sperms can be retrieved by different means, the woman's ovaries still produce egg cells that can be retrieved by means of follicle puncture.
