Pregnancy After Essure: IVF Options and Risks of Ectopic Pregnancy

Essure is a permanent sterilization method (metal coils in fallopian tubes). Pregnancy after Essure is very rare but possible; if it occurs, ectopic pregnancy risk is high (implantation in fallopian tube), which is life-threatening.

For women desiring pregnancy after Essure, in vitro fertilization (IVF) bypasses the tubes. Discuss risks, costs, and success rates with a fertility specialist.
