Tubal Reversal After Tubal Coagulation (Burned Tubes)
Posted On: Friday, November 30th, 2007
Tubal Ligation by Coagulation or Cauterization
Bipolar tubal coagulation is a popular method of female sterilization in the United States. This tubal ligation method is usually performed through laparoscopy. With the bipolar (two-poles) coagulator, the fallopian tube is grasped between two poles of electrical conducting forceps and electrical current is passed through the tube between the two ends of the forceps. Damage to the tube is limited mainly to the small segment between the forceps. Burning two or three adjacent sites is common and generally results in the loss of a few centimeters of the fallopian tube. Bipolar tubal cauterization can be successfully reversed in almost all cases.
Monopolar tubal coagulation is less common than bipolar coagulation tubal ligation. With monopolar forceps, electrical current spreads further along the length of the fallopian tube. Consequently, monopolar cautery tends to damage more of the fallopian tube than bipolar cautery. In many cases, the tube is also cut after it has been coagulated.
When monopolar coagulation is applied to a single site of the tube, tubal reversal can be performed without the need for further diagnostic tests. If multiple sites of the fallopian tube have been burned with the monopolar technique, we offer a screening diagnostic laparoscopy to evaluate the tubal lengths before proceeding to reparative surgery. The screening laparoscopy option is discussed further on our website.
Tubal Coagulation Reversal Success
Each year Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center publishes updated statistics about pregnancy rates and pregnancy outcomes among all of the women who have had tubal reversal procedures performed by Dr. Berger. The data for women who had tubal coagulation sterilizations, presented in the table below, are from our Tubal Reversal Pregnancy Study Report 2007.
Pregnancy Rates of Our Tubal Reversal Patients
The overall pregnancy rate after tubal reversal for women with tubal coagulation procedures is 68% for patients at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center. To calculate the pregnancy rate, the number of women who have become pregnant is divided by the total number who underwent a tubal reversal procedure. The following table shows the numbers and pregnancy rates according to womens’ ages at the time of their tubal reversal surgery.

Conclusion
Tubal coagulation methods of tubal ligation can be successfully reversed in most cases. The pregnancy rate after tubal reversal varies with a woman’s age at the time she has her tubal reversal procedure. The pregnancy rate is 85% for women in their twenties, 74% for those ages 30-34, 64% for women in the 35-39 year age group, and 35% for women 40 years of age or older.

I am a 28 year old mother of two boys from previous relationships. My children are 10,2. I recently got married to the love of my life in 2006 and he has no children. I want to have the surgery so that we can have children together. I had my tubes cut,tied,burned June 2005 while I was on the operating table for my last child which was a c-section. Has anyone been through this and can give me some advice? I am scared but I want to do it. What are the side effects, and are there any major complications?

I have a question I am 24 years old and had my tubes tied and burned. i was wondering if you can tell me what can I do to be able to have a child.
July 9th, 2008 at 1:01 pm
Hi Reyna,
A tubal reversal would be a great option for you so that you may try to conceive again. In your age group, pregnancy rates after tubal reversal surgery with Dr. Berger are very high. You can read over our scheduling page on the website, which describes how you can have your records forwarded to our office for review. You may also email me directly for assistance. My email is JenniferO@tubal-reversal.net
I look forward to hearing from you.

I would like to have a tubal reversal but i am kind of scared because of my age. I am 37yrs old and think i am kind of old.If i really decided to do it would there be any bad health risks for me or the baby. i had my tubes tied and burned the yr 2000 was when i had my last child i really regret having my tubal done but i thought i was done having kids now i am remarried again and my husband would really like to have one but of course i am afraid because of my age and the risks.
September 8th, 2008 at 7:16 pm
I am 30 years old and have two children 10 and 8, I had my tubes tied cut and burned 8 years ago at the time I felt it was a good choice. But I have been married for 2 years and have the greatest husband ever and he does’t have a child of his own other than his step kids. And we are wanting to have a baby, but I live in Wabash Indiana and I have called several doctors and they will not help me other than requesting fertility, but it’s exspensive and I’m looking for someone to help me with untieing my tubes or lead me in the right direction.
September 19th, 2008 at 11:13 am
I am 32 years old i have 3 kids i would like to have one more child i had my tubes tied/cut /burned.what are my chances? I had mine tied in 2002 right after my c-section
September 19th, 2008 at 11:58 am
ACETOWSEN:
Since your tubes were tied/cut/burned, they would be in the category of coagulation. If you look at the Pregnancy Statistics Page of this website, you will see that the pregnancy rate is 74% for women age 30-34 following tubal coagulation (burning). If you would like further assistance, contact Jennifer Okun, RN at JenniferO@tubal-reversal.net or Julia Smith, RN at JuliaS@tubal-reversal.net.
October 6th, 2008 at 6:37 pm
Hi, I am 35 and also had my tubes cut and burnt. I would like to do a reversal but have heard some horror stories about losing 4, 5 ,6 babies in tubal pregnancies and of having twins or joined twins. Is any of this true? Also what is th average cost of a reversal?
October 7th, 2008 at 7:44 am
Melissa
Tubal reversal is a good way to become pregnant naturally after having your tubes tied. There is an increased risk of ectopic pregnancy (10%) but there is no increased risk of pregnancy loss, twins, or conjoined twins.
The average cost here is $5400-5900 at the time this comment was submitted.
November 14th, 2008 at 7:55 pm
I am 42 and had my tubes tied/burned in 1995. I too want to have a child with my husband. Is it too risky at my age and what would the cost be to get it reversed. What are my chances of conceiving a healthy baby?
November 17th, 2008 at 8:40 pm
I am 42 and my left tube was removed along with the ovary. I went to see a fertility Dr. and he stated my right tube was blocked. When i went to surgery to unblock it, The Dr. said my right tube was cut too high and was not enough tube to attach and there was nothing he could do other than going on fertility procedure. What are my chances to conceive a healthy baby with out on fertility pills?
November 17th, 2008 at 8:48 pm
Kel – To answer your questions please see our website pages on Pregnancy Rates after Tubal Reversal and Tubal Reversal Cost. For further information or assistance, contact our Nurse Administrator, Julia Smith RN at JuliaS@tubal-reversal.net.
November 17th, 2008 at 8:53 pm
Lee – Taking fertility pills will not help you become pregnant unless your tube is open or you undergo treatment by in vitro fertilization. If you would like to send me a copy of the operative report from your recent surgery, I will be happy to review it to see you your tube can be repaired. If you have any further questions, you can send an email message to me at DrBerger@tubal-reversal.net.
November 17th, 2008 at 9:29 pm
My Dr stated i was born with my right tube cut and was not near the ovary. About the vitro fertilization he sure mentioned about it , but my husband and i can’t afford it .I am so confused.Is there chance?
November 20th, 2008 at 3:41 pm
I was told by a doctor in a recent appt. that i was in premature menopause. I’m 37 y/o. I had my tubes cut/burned 3 years ago. Could the tubal have caused the menopausal symptoms and if I have a tubal reversal would this change anything. We do want another child also. Is there still a chance??
November 20th, 2008 at 5:52 pm
Dear Wisconsin:
If the diagnosis of premature menopause is correct, then having a tubal reversal will not correct this. The only way to have another child would be with donor egg/IVF or adoption. It is very unlikely that your tubal sterilization 3 years ago could have caused your menopausal symptoms and premature menopause now.
November 21st, 2008 at 3:54 pm
I’ve been researching on post tubal syndrome, as I have been having similar symptoms for the past 2 years. I had my tubes cut and burned 4 years ago. Is it possible to have a tubal reversal and these symptoms would subside???
November 21st, 2008 at 4:07 pm
Janelle:
We have had many women come to Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center whose tubes have been cut and burned who were here because of post tubal symptoms. In over 90 percent, their symptoms have improved or disappeared completely. You can read about their experiences on the Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome Forum of the Tubal Reversal Message Board.
November 21st, 2008 at 4:44 pm
I have read about their experiences and it was very enlightening. I have immensely considered tubal reversal. You will be seeing me soon!!
January 12th, 2009 at 1:37 pm
I am considering having a tubal reversal done, mine were cut, tied and burned back in 2002 after my c-section. The thing that worries me is, during my c-section the doctor stated that my uterus was so thin that she could see my son through it. Should I even be considering a reversal? How would that affect my chances of getting pregnant and carrying to term?
January 12th, 2009 at 2:36 pm
What you describe during your c-section would not affect reversal surgery. It may impact upon any potential pregnancy and your doctor may recommend a c-section 1-3 weeks before your due date.
February 8th, 2009 at 6:55 pm
I have had my tubes tied and a partiial hysterectomy and I want to have another baby from my new husband. Is it possible for me to have another baby at the age of 44?
February 8th, 2009 at 9:36 pm
If you have had a subtotal (or “partial”) hysterectomy, then you will not be able to carry a pregnancy. In that case, the only way you could have a baby with your new husband would be through in vitro fertilization and implanting an embryo into another woman’s uterus to carry the baby for you. This is called a surrogate carrier.
February 12th, 2009 at 8:10 am
I had my tubes tied in Feb.2006. On the report it stated 2.5cm was removed from lft & right tubes. I had 2 c-section (2000 & 2006) and my ob-gyn stated that there is scarring and adhesion around my tubes and uterus. He sent me to a Fertility doctor and he did a HSG on me and stated he did not see my tubes hanging from the uterus sides. I was confused and hurt. He said that is why your ob-gyn wanted you to come here b/c of the scarring and you can do IVF. I refuse to do IVF; i just want my tubes tied back together. Can you help me?
February 12th, 2009 at 8:29 am
Tracey
We can help. We hear stories like these from patients frequently. Send us your tubal ligation report as well as a digital copy of your HSG and we can advise you.

March 9th, 2009 at 8:38 pm
I am 27 with two childern both c-sections About 3 years ago i had my tubes tied. The dr. used bipolar coagulation he burnt them 4 times on each side what are the chances of getting my tubes repaired?
March 9th, 2009 at 9:00 pm
The tubes can be repaired after bipolar coagulation in almost all cases, and at age 27 your chances of becoming pregnant again should be excellent. You can see the pregnancy statistics after tubal reversal on our website page:

thankyou carla turner

CARLA – Here is a link to Tubal Reversal Cost information at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center. Call (919) 968-4656 for a free consultation with a Tubal Reversal Nurse.
March 16th, 2009 at 2:57 am
I had my tubes cut tied and burnt 13 yrs ago – could I still get it reversed to have a baby?
March 16th, 2009 at 4:09 am
Yes, you can get your tubes repaired 13 years after having them tied and burned. If you have questions, you can call (919) 968-4656 for a free consultation with a Tubal Reversal Nurse.
March 18th, 2009 at 1:32 pm
Which would be easier and less costly? Having a reversal after my tubes were burnt 13 years ago or having invetro?
March 18th, 2009 at 3:39 pm
The cost for tubal reversal ranges from $5400 to $6900 at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center, depending upon the option you choose. The average cost for IVF (including medications) is $10,000 to $15,000 per cycle of treatment. The cost for tubal reversal is a one time cost and it gives you the chance to become pregnant any month thereafter. With IVF, the cost is incurred again with each treatment cycle, and it takes 3-4 cycles on average for most women to become pregnant with IVF.
March 19th, 2009 at 4:03 pm
I had a c-section and was healed with lots of scars and adhesion. My OB-GYN says the c-section was infected and had to heal inside out. Also my uterus lining is thin. My HSG came back abnormal with no tubes showing to get a reversal. If I have a lot of adhesion/scarring, will the doctors be able to move around the scarring/adhesions to connect my tubes back together? What if the tubes are stuck to my uterus can my tubes still be reconnected?
March 19th, 2009 at 4:05 pm
You should send us your records and we will review them for you and let you know if you are a good candidate to tubal reversal surgery. Most women have a good chance of pregnancy after tubal reversal and most tubal ligations can be reversed.

I am 24 years old and I had my tubes burned after the birth of my 5th child. I got remarriand and we desperately want a baby. What are my options?
April 22nd, 2009 at 3:49 pm
Your best option is tubal reversal. The other is IVF. Tubal reversal is more successful, less expensive, and less complicated. It also gives you the option to have more than one baby if you decide to. You can call (919) 968-4656 for a free consultation with a Tubal Reversal Nurse at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center.
April 22nd, 2009 at 9:45 pm
Hi Dr.’s..I’m 22 years old, and I have two children (4 and 1). I got my tubes “cut, tied and burnt” a year ago. The nurses and doctors basically have told me that it would be nearly impossible to reverse. Now after researching this subject it seems as if maybe they were just trying to scare me because of my age. I’m currently in college to be a nurse and once I graduate I am getting remarried to a wonderful man who has no children. We were discussing this subject and I thought i would ask – What exactly does “cut tied and burnt” mean? Is it just the coagulation technique?
April 23rd, 2009 at 5:52 am
JORDAN – Individual doctors each do things a slightly different way, but most likely this is a simple ligation and resection procedure with the tubal ends being coagulated to seal them. That is the most common finding with this brief description. If you would like to send us a copy of your operative report, I will be happy to review it and give you further details. Over the many years and over 8000 tubal ligation reversals that I have performed, it is very likely that your tubal ligation can be reversed successfully and at age 22 you will have the highest probability of being able to have more children. If you need any further assistance, you are welcome to call (919) 968-4656 for a free phone consult with a Tubal Reversal Nurse.
April 29th, 2009 at 12:05 am
I was 21 years old when I got my tubes cut and burnt. It’s been 7 years of my last c-section, I have 3 children. I’m 29 now,I want to know If I can get pregnant again naturally?or Can I get a tubal reversal?
April 29th, 2009 at 3:23 am
C.V. – You are in the best age category for becoming pregnant naturally after a tubal reversal. Look at Table 3 on our Pregnancy Statistics page to see the post-tubal reversal pregnancy rates by age.
May 1st, 2009 at 7:07 am
I am remarried and I had my tubes burned and tied in 1985. I just turned 43 and would like to have another baby very badly. Are my chances very good?
May 1st, 2009 at 9:07 am
Teresa
Your chances are good as long as you are ovulating and having periods. The highest pregnancy success is with IVF and donor eggs- close to 50% chance of success. Tubal reversal after 40 can allow you to become pregnant but the chances are not as high as IVF with donor eggs. We have many tubal reversal patients after 40 report pregnancies to us.
You should read our latest blog Natural Pregnancy At 46 After Tubal Ligation Reversal.

I am 35 years old and had my tubes tied and burnt at the age of 25.The doctors took me about 20 minutes after giving birth and did the procedure. What are my chances of ever getting pregnant and how long does this ligation last especially since everything happened so soon?
May 14th, 2009 at 6:02 am
The ligation is permanent. If you want to become pregnant, you need to have a tubal reversal or undergo treatment by in vitro feritlization (ivf). To see the likelihood of getting pregnant after tubal ligation reversal performed at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center, look at the statistics on this page of the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center web site.

I am a 28 year old mother of one.I had my tubes cut and burned 3 years ago.I recently got married and have been thinking about whether or not a tubal reversal was an option for me. My husband and I would like to have a child together. Is it possible to repair tubes that have been cut and burned?
May 17th, 2009 at 8:16 pm
Yes, tubal ligation reversal is possible after the tubes have been cut and burned. Many of our patients at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center have had tubes that were cut and burned and have become pregnant.
June 1st, 2009 at 10:49 am
I am 34 and have three kids (all 3 c-sections). I am looking to have my tubes reversed if I can. My current husband has no kids at all and really and truly wants one bad. We have been together for 9 years and he helped me with mine. I am sure he will be a great dad. Will you be able to help us?
June 3rd, 2009 at 10:03 pm
Your c-sections should not be problem and at only age 34 and already a mother you will have a every chance of becoming pregnant after a successful tubal ligation reversal. The first step to determine whether tubal reversal surgery is the best option for you is obtain the Operative and Pathology Reports from your tubal ligation. Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center offers a free review of these reports. To arrange this call a tubal reversal nurse on (919) 968-4656.
June 25th, 2009 at 2:10 am
Hi, I’m 27 yrs old, and at the age of 22 I gave birth to my second child, by c section in 2004. My tubes were tied and burned. I’m also type 1 diabetic, but have gotten remarried. He’s a good man, and wants a child. The dr said my pelvis bones were too small to have one naturally, but that I could have up to three c sections. I’m on a diabetic insulin pump. Would I be suitable for one more baby?
June 25th, 2009 at 4:25 am
ROBIN – As long as your diabetes is well controlled, you could have another baby after tubal reversal.
June 30th, 2009 at 3:47 pm
I am 29 years old. 5 years ago I had an eptopic pregnancy which my right fallopian tube had to be removed and shortly after, I had another surgery to have the left fallopian tube “burnt shut” because it was damaged. I am not getting any younger and although my husband and I have 2 wonderful kids, we really want more. 1 or 2 more. Is there any possible way to ever get pregnant again? I dont think there is any hope. This has been upsetting ever since the eptopic pregnancy I had.
July 6th, 2009 at 7:39 pm
Hi, my name is Anthony Lee,
My wife Dorothy had her tubes tied and burned 6 years ago after her last baby. She’s 30 right now – what are her chances of having another baby ? Thanks, your help is greatly appreciated.
July 6th, 2009 at 7:52 pm
ANTHONY AND DOROTHY – At age 30, your chances of having another baby after reverse tubal ligation is excellent. You can check the pregnancy statistics for our patients. If you would like further assistance, call (919) 968-4656 for a Tubal Reversal Nurse consultation.
July 19th, 2009 at 8:46 pm
I’m 37 years old and 5 years ago I had my tubes cut and burned and I don’t know why but I feel pregnant. Is that possible?? I want to have a baby with my new husband. Do you think I could have the surgery of reversal?
July 19th, 2009 at 9:09 pm
RACHEL – If you think you may be pregnant, you should run a home pregnancy test. There is a small chance that you might be, and if so, you need to see your doctor without delay. Becoming pregnant after a tubal ligation has a very high risk of ectopic pregnancy. If you are not pregnant and want to have a baby with your new husband, then of course you can have a reversal of tubal ligation. If you need assistance, call (919) 968-4656 to talk with a Tubal Reversal Nurse.
September 28th, 2009 at 7:32 am
I am a 36 year old mother of 2 and had a tubal coagulation one month after giving birth to my last child in 2000. Since I have had extreme headaches, weight gain, back pain, almost contraction-like at times, as well as other symptoms. I do not care to have any more children, but am considering a reversal to see if it would help these problems. What do you suggest?
September 28th, 2009 at 8:06 am
West 1441
I suggest you talk to your doctor about other medical conditions which can cause these problems. If no other condition can be identified then you consider a tubal reversal surgery.
October 20th, 2009 at 11:31 am
Hello
I am 37 years old. I had my tubes cut and burnt in 1994. I have two older children. My husband lost his only son in 2007. He wants a child and so do I. I just don’t know if it’s possible to become pregnant at my age. I do not know the way my procedure was done. I am pretty sure my tubes only have about 2 inches left. Is it possible to have my tubes reversed?
October 20th, 2009 at 12:52 pm
Linda
It is very possible to have a reversal and become pregnant at the age of 37. You should send us the records from your tubal ligation and/or call and speak with a tubal reversal nurse at (919) 968-4656.
Many patients will come for reversal without their records. Some patients will choose our screening laparoscopy procedure. This allows us to look at the tubes and see if they are repairable before making an abdominal incision.
November 17th, 2009 at 7:00 pm
I am 24 years old and have a 3 and 6 year old. I have my tubes cut tied and burned due to my ex husband being away at war and I couldn’t handle raising another. Now being older and finding the man of my dreams, he is always a war vet and young and wants a child. Is it possible to my tubes reversed even with being “burned” so I can make my hero a daddy? Please let me know. Thanks
November 17th, 2009 at 7:17 pm
KASIE – At age 24, your chances of pregnancy after tubal ligation reversal 90% or higher. Many of our patients have had their tubes tied, cut, and burned. If you send us your tubal ligation operative report, I will be happy to review it and give you further information. You can also contact one of the Tubal Reversal Nurses at (919) 968-4656 and they will be glad to assist you. We would love to make your hero a daddy!!
November 25th, 2009 at 3:31 pm
I had my tubes tied and burned a year ago after my third child. I regret it so much. How expensive is tubal reversal? I only have one tube . 5 years ago I had an oopherectomy on my opposite side. I did get pregnant a month after my oopherectomy. Then a year later again. So the side I had the tubal on was working great.
November 25th, 2009 at 5:40 pm

I am 34 years old, mother of 6 kids. My last three kids were born by c-section. After my last pregnancy in Dec of 2007, I decided to have a tubal ligation. My doctor said that he had cut, tied, and burned my tubes and it was irreversible. My first four kids are of my ex-husband. I am now with a new man and have two kids of our own. We have two boys. I would like to have another child with him possibly a girl. Is it possible to have my tubes reversed.

Aileen – It is possible to repair tubes that have been cut, tied, and burned in most cases. For assistance with this, call (919) 968-4656 to speak with a Tubal Reversal Nurse.
February 26th, 2010 at 12:07 am
I am a mother of 3 kids and I’m 39 years old. All three of them were c-sections and I’m wondering if that will affect reversing tubal ligation in any way. I had my tubes cut and burned and I regret it since my daughter has always wanted to have a sister. My youngest son is 14. thank you for your time.
March 30th, 2010 at 3:15 pm
I am a mother of two and newly remarried and would like to add to the family with my new husband. About having my last child 5 years ago there was a lot of scare tissue that had to be burnt out. My question to you is if this has to be done again is that all part of included in the cost ?
March 30th, 2010 at 3:26 pm
Jeremy&angel
Our tubal reversal cost are all inclusive (except the travel, hotel and food). Please make sure you send your operative records so we can review the type of tubal ligation you underwent.

I am 40 years old mother of two children from previous relationships. My children are 19, 16. I already got married to the love of my life since 2004 and he has only one child from his first marriage. I want to have a baby with my husband. I had my tubes burned in June 1994. Has anyone been through this and can give me some more advice? I am really not afraid that but I want to do it. What are the side effects, and how much is the cost for reversal surgery? Are there any major complications?

I am a 44 year old african american female (not sure if that matters) I take blood pressure and thyroid meds. I for the 1st time in my life WANT to have a baby with the man I deeply love. He is a 53 year old (african american) and has had a vasectomy. I had my tubes tied and burnt in my late 20′s and he almost 20 years ago his procedure. What are our chances of getting pregnant?
April 11th, 2010 at 3:52 pm
This graph shows the likelihood of getting pregnant at various ages. By age 44, it is between 5 to 10%.

I’m a 29 year old mother of 5 kids. I would like to have another baby because the love of my life doesn’t have kids and he would like to have one. But my tubes were cut and burned 6 years ago. Is it true that people have gotten pregnant after 5 or 6 years after having that operation?
April 12th, 2010 at 5:03 pm
Moraima – You can get pregnant again after your tubes have been cut and burned if you have a tubal reversal procedure. They do not become “untied” on their own after 5 or 6 years.
April 14th, 2010 at 5:42 pm
I’m 23 and have two children ages 4 and 2. After my daughter I had a tubal ligation thinking “that’s it”, but now I’m getting married and want to have another baby.

I am a 39 year old mother wanted to give my husband a child. I had my tubes cut, tied, and burned after my first marriage. We want a baby so bad. Is it possible for me to become pregnant and if I do is it safe for me and our baby?
July 17th, 2010 at 9:57 am
Sophia – It is certainly possible to repair fallopian tubes after they have been tied, cut, and burned. There is an increased risk of ectopic pregnancy associated with tubal reversal surgery but following the early pregnancy monitoring protocol as described on the webpage I’m Pregnant can prevent the risk of tubal rupture.
July 29th, 2010 at 10:34 pm
I just turned 42 & have three older children with my former husband — my 2nd husband and I want a child of our own desperately but I was told that during the c section of my 3rd child – my tubes were cut and burned of course at that time with my consent as I didn’t know my life would change & I’d end up with someone else. I was 23 at the time the procedure was done & told for years this a permanent procedure that cannot be reversed. Is there any chance this information is wrong? Could it be possible that at least one tube could be repaired?
Thanks in advance for your information.

Doctors commonly tell patients this because they want to reinforce to patients the decision to have a tubal ligation should not be taken lightly.
We are able to reverse these type of tubal ligations over 90% of the time and 3 out of 4 patients who have a successful reversal can become pregnant.
You can view our pregnancy statistics on our website: chances of becoming pregnant after tubal reversal.

I am 25 years old and I have two children. I had my tubes tied about 4 years ago.. yes i know that was a crazy thing to do at such a young age but at the time i was married and we had a “perfect little family” well… he left me and the kids about 4 months after i got the tubal done. I think the doctor burned the tubes! I cant remember if he burned or tied them! I have recently got engaged and me and my fiance are wanting a child so bad! he has no children so it means a lot to him! I am from Tupelo, MS and we have a doctor here that can do it but we are considering coming there! we have heard so many great things about this clinic, but i have one question… what are the chances of this working with my tubes being burned if they are?
October 6th, 2010 at 11:28 am
Dewanna -
Send us your operative note and we can give you better advice. In general about 60% of our patients who have reversal of burned tubes will become pregnant after tubal reversal. If you look at this link (burned tubes) you will see the patient satisfaction messages sent to us from patients who have had pregnancy success after the reversal of burned tubes.

Hi, I had my tubes cut (I think)in 2008 during my C-Section. My situation is a bit different, I want to become pregnant but I dont want another child…lol I want to carry a child for my close friends who have tried to get pregnant for 5 years and after they were pregnant for 6 months lost there child. So, I would need invitro… I just wonder if I would need a reversal or can the egg be put in the uterus regardless….
November 25th, 2010 at 1:10 pm
Taylor – If you are going to have in vitro fertilization to be a surrogate carrier for your friend, you do not need to have a tubal reversal.
November 25th, 2010 at 6:17 pm
I’m 30 and i have 6 kids 4 boys and 2 girls the girls are older and now i want a baby girl even though I only burnt my tubes 2 yrs ago or less.

I am 45 and I had tubes tied 24 years ago. I was married for 22 yrs and now divorced 2 yrs. I am a diabetic,and overweight. So my question is …is it stupid of me to even think of such thing as having the reverse operation,trying to have another baby?
December 7th, 2010 at 10:50 am
If you are having regular periods then tubal reversal and pregnancy are possible; however, it is very difficult to become naturally pregnant after the age of 43. Our oldest patient who became naturally pregnant was 46 years of age. IVF with donor eggs is your best option for pregnancy.
December 8th, 2010 at 6:49 pm
No, from what I have read any woman under the age of 40 is ok. Your 28. I think you are ok to go with it. Don’t hold back girl! Do it!! Before you or he changes his mind.

Hi i’am 38 yrs old and a mother of 5. I’ve been through a very rough marriage and finally met someone who treats me like a woman should be treated. My question is 8 yrs ago after my last son was born I had my tubes tied and burnt. I do have the operative report. What concerns me is that this year my periods keep coming 4 days early every month. Is it still possible to get a tubal reversal even if my periods come early or is it a sign that my egg is being released and its not mature? Thank you.
December 11th, 2010 at 8:00 pm
Val – The fact that your periods come 4 days early each month simply indicates that you are ovulating before cycle day 14. That would not interfere with getting pregnant after tubal reversal surgery.
December 12th, 2010 at 2:01 pm
I am 30 years old and had my tubes tied 5 months ago after the birth of my son. My husband and I made the decision because we felt it was the “rational” choice. However upon further reflection we both confided that we wanted more children. I had my tubes cauterized. Is there any chance for us to reverse and be successful in getting pregnant? He has an excellent sperm count and my reproductive history is great.
December 12th, 2010 at 2:24 pm
Constance – If you come to Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center, the probability of becoming pregnant again after reversal of cauterized (coagulated) tubes is about 75% as you can see in our follow-up pregnancy statistics. If you have any questions, call (919) 968-4656 for a free consultation with a Tubal Reversal Nurse.

i am 30 years old mother of 4 boys i had my tubes tied and burnt in 2002 and may of 2010 i had a partial hysterectomy and i am wanting to try for a little girl is it possible for me to be able to get pregnant or no??
December 17th, 2010 at 9:44 am
Dawn
The term partial hysterectomy can mean two things. It is intended to mean your uterus was removed but your cervix was left behind. If you have this then you will not be able to become pregnant. The term is sometimes incorrectly used to mean only an ovary was removed. If you only had an ovary removed then you can get pregnant after a tubal reversal.
January 23rd, 2011 at 4:20 am
I have six kids but after my last baby in 2005 I my tubes cut,tied, burned now I want another baby its been 7 years but im trying to find a doctor that could let me know how much it would be to have a tubal reversal done.

January 24th, 2011 at 11:58 am

Burned tubes can be reversed and about 3 out of 4 patients will become pregnant.

Ok, I am going to be 29 this year and I have 3 boys already. they are almost 13, 10 and my youngest will be 9 this year I had my tubes cut tied and burnt in December or 2002 so it has been almost 9 years and I have sense then been remarried and we would love to have another but I was told that it is to expensive to have them reversed and to do invetro instead? What is the difference and what would be the better route to go? How much would it be and how long does it take to recover from it and how long till you can start trying?
April 21st, 2011 at 3:38 pm
Ammy Dilbeck – You can have a tubal reversal after tubes have been cut, tied, and burned. At Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center, the cost of tubal reversal is $5900. The average cost for IVF is $12,000. Besides being less expensive, tubal reversal is more successful than IVF. It takes about a week to recover and you can start trying any time after that.
April 21st, 2011 at 5:05 pm
Then why does your website say it is 6400?
April 21st, 2011 at 5:08 pm
Ammy – Refresh your browser. It appears you may be reading an older version of the page. The discounted cost for tubal reversal is $5900 at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center – http://www.tubal-reversal.net/tubal_reversal_fee_financing.htm

Would i be granted a tubal reversal if already had multiple c-sections? Im 29 years old and have had 5 c-sections my first 14 years ago, my last 2 years ago, i had no complications at all with any of the pregnancies or c-sections….would i get refused as a ”risk”??
April 27th, 2011 at 8:24 pm
GEM – Dr. Monteith performs tubal reversal procedures for women with many c-sections. He has a background as a high risk ob/gyn.
April 28th, 2011 at 7:27 pm
I am 27 years old and I have had three children from a previous marraiage. I was forced into having a tubal ligation cut tied and burnt. I am with a wonderful man now and would desperately love to have a child with him. My last child almost 5 years ago was an emergency c-section with complications. Am I a good candidate for a reversal? And what is the current costs of this, as I know my insurance will not pay for such a thing? Help with this would be so greatly appreciated.
April 28th, 2011 at 8:15 pm
Stacy – As you can see from our follow-up pregnancy statistics, age is the primary factor that predicts successful pregnancy after tubal ligation reversal at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center. At age 27, you are an excellent candidate for tubal reversal with over an 80% chance of getting pregnant. You can arrange to have your operative report sent to use to review by using this Medical Records Release Form, or simply call (919) 968-4656 to talk with a tubal reversal nurse.

Hello, I stumbled upon this article and it caught my eye. I am 35 had my tubes clamped but also had a partial hyst. I have heard about the new medical break through of uterus transplant/grafting. I do have 3 kids and am wanting 1-2 more kids….,but need help having my hopes of having more kids becoming reality.
Please advise.
Thank You

It depends on what you mean by ‘partial hysterectomy’. Some people mistakenly use the term for removal of one ovary or tube. If this is the case then reversal and pregnancy are possible. If your uterus has been removed then you would need a gestational surrogate (someone else to carry your pregnancy). I am unaware of the possibility of uterine transplant. That would be very risky.
May 18th, 2011 at 5:16 am
I’m 47, had my tubal coagulation when I was 35 after my only child was born via c-section. I am interested in seeing if a reversal would is a viable option at my age. I am otherwise healthy and in good physical condition. I understand that the risk factors are increased due to my age to both me a child.
Pleas advise me.

Tubal reversal is an option as long as you are having regular periods; however, it is extremely difficult to become pregnant naturally at the age of 47. IVF with donor eggs is the best option for you.

He is planing on doing a laproscopic surgery to look to see if there is enough tissue to reverse the tubal, but I am extremely nervous. I really what my tubal reversed so that I can have another child. What are the chances that I will be able to ever successfully carry another child?

October 26th, 2011 at 11:40 am
You should consider an IUD or your husband can consider vasectomy.
October 30th, 2011 at 4:21 pm
Hi, I am 36 years old and I had my tubal ligation 15 years ago in 1996. They cauterized both my tubes in three different areas. When we looked into ART I was told by my RE that IVF was the way to go, so we just completed our first round of IVF and unfortunately it failed. Sadly enough, I feel they wanted me to do IVF because that is their “business” and they get way more profit, but I may be wrong. All my labs prior to and during were good, especially for my age but I was labeled a “poor responder” to the FSH medications, meaning I started with an antral follicle count of 12 and only ended up with three eggs in which only one fertilized but did not implant. They now want to try me on an estrogen priming protocol. I am really beginning to wonder if a reversal might work better for me if I am a poor responder to IVF meds, perhaps more natural would work better? Do you feel I am a good candidate for a reversal?
October 30th, 2011 at 4:35 pm
Oh, and of course,I would be more than happy to send all medical records from tubal ligation and IVF cycle to you. I might also mention that hubby’s sperm testing was fine as well. We are from Illinois but more than willing to travel! We are due for a mini get away anyway!
October 30th, 2011 at 8:50 pm
Shelly – At age 36, you will be a good candidate for tubal reversal surgery even though you are a “poor responder” to gonadotropin medications. As long as you are ovulating spontaneously (which you can confirm using an Ovulation Predictor Kit), you do not need these medications. It will be helpful to have a copy of your operative report to review. If you have a copy, you can fax it to me at (919) 967-8637. If not, you can have the hospital where your tubal ligation was performed fax it using our Medical Records Release Form: https://www.tubal-reversal.net/op-report-form/

November 22nd, 2011 at 10:56 am
Rayco
The steps are fairly easy..try and get your tubal ligation operative records from the hospital where the surgery was done. Send them to us for review. If you can not get the records you would still be a candidate. You can call the office to speak with a nurse (919) 968-4656 for more information.
Scheduling tubal reversal is as simple as calling, requesting a surgery date, paying for the surgery and making travel arrangements. If you are ready it can be done over the phone and within 30 minutes but it is best to call and let the nurses answer any questions you may have.

I had my Tubes cut, tied and burned in February 2009 after I had my little girl who is now almost 3 years old.I have been having these weird pains that feel like someone has taken knife and pushed them into my uterus and pulled them down both legs. This pains put me to my knees. I have told the doctor who did the procedure and he said I am still healing from having my daughter. He has not done any test to find out why I am hurting so bad. This usually occurs right be4 I have my monthly. Which is now never on at the same time anymore. When I do have my monthly it last maybe 3to4 days. And is never on the same day every month. I want to know if it is possible to have it reversed. I regret having my tubal ligation done now. If I would of known that I would have this problem I would of never got it done to begin with.
November 24th, 2011 at 9:56 pm
Kathy From Texas – It is possible to have it reversed. For information call (919) 968-4656 and speak with a tubal reversal nurse.

Hello,
I am a 29 year old female veteran, with VA health care and have been told that they will pay for tubal reversal on a fee for service program. I was wondering if your clinic accepted this. I have been told that I have to find a physician on my own who will provide this service but the VA will pay for it…
November 26th, 2011 at 6:27 pm
Catherine H – We can perform your tubal reversal procedure but you would need to pay for it and have the VA send the reimbursement check to you.
November 29th, 2011 at 2:40 pm
I have my tubes cut and tied but I dont have my right tube or right ovary and I would love to have another child whats the price range and is there anybody that help with the cost ?

Good news: We can reverse one tube and your chances or pregnancy would be good. The cost of reversal at our center is $5900. We are currently offering a special so you should call (919)968-4656 for more information.
Bad news: Neither medical insurance, Medicaid, nor a charity is going to help you pay for it.
We do have a prepayment plan and if you call we can give you more information about this plan.

I want to know if I can still get pregnant even though my tubes have been coagulated? I haven’t had a period in two months. My husband wants us to have another child and we don’t need one. We have one together and we both have five others. Please someone help.

Even with coagulated or burned tubes pregnancy is possible after a tubal reversal at our center.

Hello I’m looken to get a tubal reversal really soon. Do you guys have any offices around illinois or do you have to go to NC? I am 29yrs old and with an older man so we tryen 2 find a cheap place around illinois but does a good job. Also does that price include any test that have 2 b done before the surgery? And is it a same day surgery or do you have to stay in the hospital?
January 14th, 2012 at 7:06 am
Mary – You will have to go to NC to have your tubal reversal at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center. It is same day surgery so you do not have to stay in the hospital. There are some lab tests that are required and you would have those done by your local doctor. The cost for those tests is separate from the cost for the tubal ligation procedure.
