Can She Or Can She Not Posted: 10-05-04 10:01am
If a woman gets her tubes tied....Can she
still produce eggs. What is the procedure
called if a docter transfers a sperm into
an egg and places back into the womb? How
much does this procedure cost? Does
anyone know?

With a tubal, a woman's eggs are still
present, though they do not travel the
usual path into the uterus. The body just
absorbs them as they are released.
When a doctor takes a man's spem and a
woman's egg and artificially creates
conditions for conception and then
implants the potential zygotes in the
uterus, it is called in vitro
fertilization (ivf). In vitro means
outside the body or in an articificial
environment, while normal conception
resulting from sex could be called in vivo
(in body). The costs may vary greatly
depending on the doctor and exact process
you use, but are generally expensive.
Also worthy to note, a doctor collecting a
woman's eggs is a very arduous process for
the woman. It involves injecting very
heavy duty hormonal drugs (some of which
are potential carcinogens) into the system
everyday for several weeks, and can be
very scary, intimidating or an otherwise
big turn-off.
