4 sections and sterilised...

Sooo, I’ve had 4 c sections and been sterilised.
I’m divorced and have been in a relationship for over 2 years. My recent partner has no children.... and wants one.
Do we stand any chance if I get the sterilisation reversed.... realistically? And I'm 37.

@CAHARRIS what do you want? You mention your partner wanting another child but haven’t said what you want. 4 c-sections is a lot for your body to go through and you have obviously decided in the past that you don’t want any more children.

I’d imagine your options are to attempt a reversal which could well take some time and may not be successful, although I don’t know this for sure. I guess the other option would be if IVF is possible without a reversal, which would have financial implications. Either way it looks like you’ll be putting your body through a lot, so you need to be sure that you want another child.

you won't be eligible for IVF on the NHS because you already have children and also been sterilised so can you afford it in the first instance?

Personally I wouldn't risk it after 4 sections
