After family planning baby?
Hello Doctor. I have a question regarding a woman who has two children, both delivered by C-section. During her second C-section, she underwent family planning (tubectomy). Now she wishes to have another baby.
Can she consult you to find out whether tubectomy reversal or IVF is possible in her case? Also, what documents or consent would be required if she is legally married but living separately from her husband?
Could you please guide me regarding the consultation and treatment options? Thank you, Doctor.

Both tubal reversal and IVF are possible even after a tubectomy done during a C-section. Reversal only works if enough healthy tube remains, which needs confirming first. IVF bypasses the tubes completely and is usually the simpler path after two C-sections and tubal surgery.
Next Steps
A pelvic ultrasound, hormone tests and your partner's semen analysis will help decide which route suits you. IVF documentation follows India's ART rules, and requirements can vary when you're married but living separately from your husband. Please consult a fertility specialist to confirm what applies in your case.
