Can I Be a Surrogate After Tubal Ligation?

Introduction

One of the most common questions we receive from women considering surrogacy is: ‘Can I be a surrogate after a tubal ligation?’ The good news is—yes, you can! Tubal ligation, or having your tubes tied, does not disqualify you from becoming a surrogate mother. In fact, many of our most successful surrogates have had the procedure.

What Is Tubal Ligation?

Tubal ligation is a surgical procedure that closes or blocks a woman’s fallopian tubes, preventing her eggs from reaching the uterus for fertilization. It’s considered a permanent form of birth control. However, this only affects your ability to conceive naturally—not your ability to carry a pregnancy through IVF, which is how all gestational surrogacy is performed.

How Surrogacy Works with Tubal Ligation

Gestational surrogacy involves the use of embryos created from the intended parents’ or donors’ sperm and eggs. The embryos are implanted directly into your uterus using in vitro fertilization (IVF). Your fallopian tubes are not used in this process, so having them tied has no impact on your ability to carry a baby for someone else.

Medical Clearance Requirements

Even though tubal ligation doesn’t disqualify you, you will still undergo a full medical screening to ensure your uterus is healthy, and your overall reproductive system is capable of supporting pregnancy.

We’ll also evaluate:

• Hormone levels
• Uterine lining health
• Any history of complications during prior pregnancies

Emotional and Psychological Readiness

As with all surrogates, women with a prior tubal ligation must also complete a psychological evaluation to ensure emotional preparedness and a strong support system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Do I need to reverse my tubal ligation to become a surrogate?

Ans. No. Reversal is not necessary for gestational surrogacy.

Q. Does having my tubes tied increase my health risks?

Ans. No. You’ll undergo the same medical clearance as all surrogates.

Q. Will I be able to carry a healthy pregnancy?

Ans. Yes, provided your uterus is healthy and you pass all required screenings.
