How to Get Tubes Untied: Reverse Tubal Ligation
Posted On: Saturday, April 26th, 2008
What is Reverse Tubal Ligation?
Reverse tubal ligation – or more properly, tubal ligation reversal – is a procedure to get tubes untied for women who desire a pregnancy after tubal ligation. There are actually several procedures that can be used to untie tubes after the tubes have been tied.
Techniques of Reverse Tubal Ligation
There are 3 main techniques that can be used for reversing tubal ligation.
- Tubal anastomosis
- Tubal implantation
- Salpingostomy (Fimbriectomy Reversal)
Tubal Anastomosis
 |
 |
The most common method for untying tubes is the reverse tubal ligation procedure of tubal anastomosis. Anastomosis refers to joining two body parts, and tubotubal anastomosis is joining two tubal segments together. Most techniques that tie tubes result in two separate tubal segments, so the simplest way to get tubes untied in these cases is with the anastomosis procedure.
For more details about untying tubes via tubal anastomosis, see the topic on Tubal Reversal by Tubal Anastomosis on the Tubal Reversal Blog and the description of Microsurgical Tubal Anastomosis on the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center website.
What is the Cost of Untying Tubes?
Reverse tubal ligation is usually described as extremely expensive, ranging from $10,000 to $30,000. The tubal anastomosis procedure to untie tubes costs $5900 at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center. Because it is done as outpatient surgery and performed four times a day, the cost savings is passed on to the women who want kids after tubal ligation.
Watch Dr. Berger Untie Tubes
The tubal reversal operation by Dr. Berger has been featured on television – this video clip on YouTube is 3 minutes long. To watch the entire operation, you can order a free video or DVD of tubes untied.
Other Methods to Untie Tubes
Tubal implantation and salpingostomy are less frequent techniques to untie the tubes after a tubal ligation. For descriptions of these techniques, see the topic on Tubal Reversal by Tubal Implantation and Tubal Reversal by Salpingostomy on the Tubal Reversal Blog or Read the section on Reversal Illustrations on the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center website.

[...] This summary is to help women who want to get their tubes untied. The first thing to know is what tying tubes actually means. It is not as simple as placing a string around the tube that can later be untied. Contrary to what some people think, tubes don’t become untied by themselves after a certain length of time. With this basic information about the fallopian tube and tubal ligation methods in mind, I will explain how reversal of tubal ligation is done in the next topic Tubal Reversal Blog – How to Get Tubes Untied: Reverse Tubal Ligation.

I know that our patients and potential patients wil find this information interesting, especially the video clip showing Dr. Berger performing a reversal. Many of the women I talk to feel confused about the type of sterilization they have had – or the difference between the techniques – and this blog will make that clearer.
April 27th, 2008 at 5:48 pm
Information is the best gift that you can give anyone. Dr. Berger’s dedication to patient care begins even before they walk through the doors of his facility. Detailed information allows women to make the best choice for themselves and their families.
April 27th, 2008 at 8:24 pm
A clear concise introduction to untying tubes. It does not get any more straight forward or simpler than this.
April 28th, 2008 at 12:12 pm
This is a great way to familiarize yourself with the techniques used here at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center. There are many ways to tie tubes. These are the ways, based on our statistics, that have proven to work best at untying tubes.
April 28th, 2008 at 1:42 pm
Very nice, I just can’t say enough about Dr Berger’s commitment to patient education in the field of tubal untying.
April 28th, 2008 at 2:16 pm
The illustrations on our website really do help give patients a better understanding of the process tying and untying tubes.
April 29th, 2008 at 1:42 pm
This is just one more way that those interested in untying the fallopian tubes can educate themselves prior to surgery.

The DVD is an added touch to answer the question of how Dr. Berger performs the tubal reversal.
May 1st, 2008 at 11:46 am
Doctors often tell patient that their tubal ligations are irreversible. However, this is not true in most cases. Dr. Berger is able to reverse patients’ tubes in 98% of cases!!
May 6th, 2008 at 12:51 pm
Patients shouldn’t feel discouraged about the type of tubal ligation they have had. As has been stated, Dr. Berger is able to perform a tubal reversal on 98% of his patients. If there is question from a patient’s operative report or if there is no operative report available, a screening laparoscopy can be performed to attain information on the best approach for untying the tubes.
May 12th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
This is wonderful information made available to the public in search of understanding what type of ligation procedure they have experienced. This is a great asset for women who’ve had ligations.
June 19th, 2008 at 1:42 pm
i would like info about the reversal and do you have financing available
July 24th, 2008 at 10:12 pm
I would like information about the reversal because my tubes are clamped and how would i go about getting the procedure done. Is there financing available?
July 25th, 2008 at 7:31 am
Dear Angela and Natoshia:
I am very happy to provide additional information about the reversal procedure and financing options.
Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center is the only facility in the United States that is dedicated solely to the specialty of tubal reversal surgery. Dr. Gary Berger has performed over 7000 tubal ligation reversal procedures. The success of the procedure depends on several factors, including a woman’s age, the type of sterilization performed and the length of healthy tube remaining following surgery. If you already have a copy of the records from your procedure, you can fax them to us at 919-967-8637. Please include all of your contact information (phone & e-mail) when faxing your information. Fortunately, Dr. Berger is able to repair the tubes in 98% of situations, including those cases where the tubes have been clamped or cut and burned.
We offer three fee options for the reversal procedure:
1) Our standard fee is $6900. With this fee, you can schedule your appointment and hold a date with a $250 down payment. But the balance is due three weeks prior to the surgery date.
2) Our discounted fee is $5,900 and is due at the time of scheduling your surgery. In other words, if you called today to schedule for August or September, the full $5900 fee would be sent by tomorrow to get the discount.
3) Surgery can be scheduled with Dr. Monteith for a fee of $5400. This discounted fee is also due at the time you schedule your appointment.
We do not accept insurance as payment for surgical procedures. For patients interested in long-term payment arrangements, however, we offer a pre-payment plan or financing through MedChoice Financial. With the pre-payment option, patients can pre-pay the surgical fee without interest prior to the surgery date. To utilize this option, a non-refundable $250 fee is mailed to us at: Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center, 109 Conner Drive, Suite 2200, Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27514. At that point, an account is opened in your name and payments of any amount are made as you are able — for as long as you wish. For the standard fee of $6900, you do not have to wait until the balance is paid to schedule surgery – you can schedule at any time with a $250 down payment. The balance is due at least three weeks prior to the surgery date. You may receive either of our discounted fees while using the pre-payment plan, but the balance must be paid in full prior to scheduling surgery. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/tubal_reversal_pre_payment.htm
Financing through MedChoice can be arranged by calling 800-358-8980 (choose Option 1) and using Identify Provider Id # 3867 or Dr. Gary Berger. You should receive an answer within minutes.
Please e-mail me at JuliaS@chfc.net if you would like more information.

My partner and I have been planning to have a baby. We have been engaged for 2 years and I have children of my own but he doesn’t and he wants one and i want to do it now that I am only 26 yrs old and he is 23. We are both young and healthy. I know age has a lot to do with trying to get pregnant but I had a tubal ligation 6 years ago. My tubes were cut so do you think there is a possibility of me getting pregnant if I have a tubal reversal? Please answer my question. I’ve been looking information up and I think this is the greatest info I have found. We even thought of invitro but it’s too expensive. I appreciate your time and attention. Thank you, Iveth
October 11th, 2008 at 3:06 pm
Iveth:
At age 26 and with having had your tubes cut, you have the best chance of having more babies of anyone. Look at the pregnancy rates after tubal ligation reversal on the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center web site. You will see that your chances are over 80% that you will become pregnant within a year of having your tubes untied. These statistics are from my patients who have been followed up after their tubal reversals. If you would like assistance, contact Julia Smith, RN at JuliaS@tubal-reversal.net.

I had a 20 pound tumor and it had destroyed my left ovary and tube when i was 14 and i had 3 children after they removed it and then had my right tube tied and clipped 18 years ago is there any chance of that tube coming untied and me getting pregnant now? We would like to have one more child we adopted last year and would love to be able to give our one yr old a brother or sister.

I had my tubes tied 8 1/2 years ago right after the birth of my second child. It was very easy for me to become pregnant both times. At the time this was the reason I decided to get them tied. However, since then my husband I have both regretted this decision. Mostly I feel a burden that I made a mistake according to the Bible, which says children are a gift from God. I wish I could have my tubal ligation reversed, but am concerned about the cost. Even if I never became pregnant again, though, I think I would feel better just simply knowing it was reversed. Even though I know the Lord could impregnate me if He really wanted me to have another child even if my tubes are tied, I think I would feel better knowing that I was no longer under the burden of feeling like a stunbling block for His will. My family would find this decision to reverse to be very radical and maybe even unwise. Do you think it is worth the money to have it reversed just for the peace of mind? Also I am about to turn 38 in Dec. I know that having children after 35 is a risk. I would not want to cause a baby having to be born into the world with Down Syndrome or some other condition just to appease my conscience. Practically I don’t even know if I could handle having another child, but again I would have to live by faith. I have not even discussed this with my present OB/GYN. In addition I have PCOS. I would like to hear what you would have to say about the above. THanks. Amy M.

My name is Carolyn, Im 23 years old and proud mom of two sets of twins who are 3 and 1.

Well i finally found that special someone and have been looking everywhere to get more information. Was wondering if you could send me more info on this please. lukin4luvnalthewrngplaces@yahoo.com

November 28th, 2008 at 11:40 pm
My name is Fannie Jones and I have had my tubes tied for 18 years and I was wondering if it would be possible for me to get them untied after that long period of time. I’m getting married soon and I really want a baby. If so, reach me at fanniejones43@yahoo.com. THANK YOU.
November 29th, 2008 at 11:01 am
Hi, Fannie. Fortunately, the length of time since the tubal ligation does not affect the outcome of the procedure. The doctors here are able to repair the tubes in 98% of cases. Age does play a role, but even our patients age 40 – 42 have pregnancy rates close to 50%.
December 28th, 2008 at 3:15 pm
Dear Dr.Berger – My mother used to clean your medical offices and I used to help her. I just wanted to say hi and ask you – I am 31 years old and I got my tubes tied 2 years ago after giving birth to eight children do you think I can have another baby?
December 28th, 2008 at 3:29 pm
Dear Torkisha:
It is nice to hear from you after all of these years. Why don’t you call our office at 968-4656 and speak with one of the nurses. They will help you.
December 28th, 2008 at 6:04 pm
Is it possible to get tubes untied if the procedure was performed through the navel. Does this mean that the tubes were burned instead of cut and if so, is this procedure reverasble?
December 28th, 2008 at 6:09 pm
Is it possible to gettubes untied if the procedure was done through the navel? Were the tubes burned instead of tied and if so, is this procedure reversable?

Hi Missy. You may find our prepayment plan helpful. It is convenient for anyone needing to make long term payment arrangements. The fee to open the account is $250. Then, you can send as little or as much as you like. For additional information, please contact me at ErickaP@tubal-reversal.net.

what if the tubes have been cut tied and burned can a woman get that reversed???
February 2nd, 2009 at 7:47 pm
My name is Carrie and I have 4 children. The last one will be 5 in June. In August 2004 I decided not to have anymore children and my doctor gave me the whole nine yard speech about having my tubes tied and burnt. I was almost positive that I did not want children anymore. So I had the procedure done. Now I am with my partner of 4 years and we want one more addition to our loving family. Help please.
February 7th, 2009 at 7:41 pm
hi i just got married and my tubes are tied and my husband wants at least one child and i want at least one more i have two kids and unting my tubes will bring joy to me and my family
February 10th, 2009 at 11:41 am
I had my tubes clamped and every since then I have been having nothing but problems. I very rarely have a period now and then when I do its a bad one I pass blood clots the size of saucers and I cramp like I am in labor- and that is not even the half of it. When my husband and I decide to do anything it hurts so what do you suggest that I do?Please help.
February 10th, 2009 at 12:11 pm
You should probably be seen by your doctor and have an ultrasound to evaluate for uterine fibroids and blood test to see if you are ovulating regularly. If you want to become pregnant again, then you should also consider a tubal ligation reversal.
February 10th, 2009 at 2:01 pm
I want to have another baby, but I only have one tube and its been tied, clipped, and burned. Do you think I could get a tubal reversal?
February 10th, 2009 at 2:18 pm
Many patients will tell us this only to come here and have a successful reversal and a new pregnancy. Many times patients and doctors refer to the tubes being tied, clipped, cut, and burned. The vast majority of the times this is not what was actually done. Many times this is way to convey to a patient they had a sterilization procedure and they do not have to worry about becoming pregnant.
If you send us your operative note then we can review it for you.

Hi. I have my tubal for 15 years already and I want to have another baby but I’m not sure if they are tied.After the surgery my doctor told me she only tied my tubes.
I checked my records theyonly say tubal ligation but the doctor didn’t refer to cutting burning or whatever was done on january 15 1994.
Sometimes I don’t have my periods and when I do they are very painful and I’m passing really big blood clots. Is this normal?
Please answer my questions if you can.
Thank you.
March 4th, 2009 at 9:36 am
The simple answer is – what you describe is not normal. The more complex answer is why?
You should talk to your doctor and be evaluated.
If you want to have another baby you can consider a tubal ligation reversal procedure but it may or may not help with the symptoms you describe.
March 6th, 2009 at 10:41 pm
I had my tubes burned and tied. Is it possible to get my tubes reversed? please email me, thank you.

April 2nd, 2009 at 9:02 pm
Dr. Berger, I am a mother of 3 boys. I had c-sections with all of them but healed quickly and completely. With the last one I had my tubes tied. Well, actually one was tied, I don’t know how, and one had a cyst in it so the doctor said she took it out. I don’t know how much of the tube is left. Since my TL 3 years ago I have been suffering from SEVERE Symptoms of Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome. It is so bad some days that I cannot even get out of bed. The doctors can find nothing, and until I found your website I did not know what was going on. Of about 45 symptoms that I found I am suffering from 38 of them in varying degrees. Even if I don’t have much tube is it possible to reverse it and help me? We also want another baby. I am only 29 and my husband is 33 will this maybe help our chances of getting pregnant? We are getting the money as fast as possible before I get any worse. It is impossible to raise 3 boys from bed. LOL Please help me. My operative report is being faxed to your office. Please e-mail me Thanks!
April 3rd, 2009 at 12:00 pm

April 13th, 2009 at 12:58 pm
Okay so I am 24 yrs old.. I have 3 Children Ages 10,6 and 3.. I had early stages of cervical cancer so they did the Leep process on me and took like 3/4′s of my cervix out.. They also went ahead and tied my tubes in 2006.. After all this I am started to be extremely upset for the thought of never being able to make my family complete with my new husband.. Am I able to still have children? I probably already know the answer but I am giving it a shot! Please contact me. Thanks
April 13th, 2009 at 1:35 pm
After a tubal ligation reversal pregnancy is definitely possible. The multiple leep procedures may increase your risk for preterm delivery but most patients in similar circumstances will do well. Feel free to give us a call at (919) 968-4656 for a free nurse consultation.
April 13th, 2009 at 4:12 pm
Hi!
If you have had a uterine ablation and have your tubes tied can you still get your tubes reversed? If my uterus is ablated and my tubes possibly might be adhered to my uterus can I still get a tubal reversal or have major surgery to get my tubes reconnected? Is there a way to reconstruct my tubes or be reconnected like performing Fimbrectomy reversal?
Thank you so much for any response!
April 13th, 2009 at 8:04 pm
If you have had both a uterine ablation and a tubal ligation then you can have a reversal and become pregnant.
If you are having regular periods after the ablation then your uterine lining has regrown and can support a pregnancy. If you are not having periods then pregnancy may not be possible after an ablation. Any pregnancy after uterine ablation would be at higher risk for miscarriage or preterm delivery because of your previous ablation, but most pregnancies will do very well.

I had my tubes tied 8 years ago after my 3rd child. I found out last week I was pregnant and 3 days later I had a regular miscarriage. Now we need to think about birth control. But out of curiosity… is it possible for me to get pregnant and have the fertilized egg implant in my uterus for a healthy pregnancy or is it unlikely and I will mostly have a tubal pregnancy or miscarry again?
April 16th, 2009 at 1:26 pm
The majority of pregnancies after a tubal ligation will be ectopic (outside the uterus). Sometimes these ectopic pregnancies can mimic a miscarriage. Occasionally the pregnancies will find their way into the uterus.
If you want to have a baby I would not count on a tubal ligation failure to allow you to have a baby. If you do not want to have a baby or an ectopic pregnancy then you should talk to your doctor about your options.
April 16th, 2009 at 5:56 pm
I had my tubes tied when my daughter was born in October of 2005. I am getting married in June of 2009 and I would like to know what can I do to help my soon to be husband.

I have had my tubes tied for 15 years. I want to know if the procedure was performed through the navel what does that mean? I’m 42 years old what are my chances of getting pregnant. I currently have one son and have no problems with my periods.
May 19th, 2009 at 6:32 pm
The tubal reversal is done through a small incision just above your pubic hair line. You can view a picture of one of our incisions at After Tubal Reversal Surgery: Returning To Work. You should also look at our 2007 Pregnancy Report to get an idea what your chance of pregnancy is after a tubal ligation reversal
May 20th, 2009 at 11:26 am
I am 25 recently found out that I had my tubes tied cut and burnt not banded like I had requested (1-25-07) and have been experiencing major depression and regret since. I had no problems getting pregnant before and I met a amazing guy and we would like to have one of our own and wanted to know the out comes if we did a reversal. I have the operative report but no way to fax it. I have researched you as much as possible. Please contact me.
June 7th, 2009 at 9:49 pm
I had my tube tide and cut and July 21 1994 and me and my husband want a baby. Is it any way I can have a baby? Please help me get my tube untide.
June 8th, 2009 at 11:41 pm
I am 26 about to turn 27. I have had 2 c-section and with my last one I got my tubes tied and i wanted to know, how long will they stay tied? And since i just had them done a year and 5 months ago is there any way I can get them untied without have the Tubal Reversal?
June 10th, 2009 at 4:00 pm
I’m going to be 41 years old and I would like to know if I would be able to get one of my tubes untied. 17 years ago I had a tubel pregnancy and one of my ovaries got removed and I was told that I wouldn’t have any more kids. Later I had my son so I got my tube tied and now I am wondering if I could get it untied.
June 10th, 2009 at 6:06 pm
SANDRA – As long as you are having regular menstrual cycles, you can have your tube untied and have the chance for another baby. Call (919) 968-4656 if you would like to talk with a Tubal Reversal Nurse.
June 22nd, 2009 at 3:06 pm
I had my son May 14, 2008 and now he is 1 years old. I was wondering is it possible to get my tubes untied or is it to late? Will I be able to get pregnant again and how much would that cost me? I really want another baby and is there ever a chance that I would not be able to get pregnant after getting my tubes untied?
June 22nd, 2009 at 6:00 pm
SAMANTHA – It is not too late to get your tubes untied. The chance of becoming pregnant again is related to your age. The pregnancy rates after tubal reversal at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center are shown on the Pregnancy Statistics page of our website. The tubal reversal cost page explains the various fee options you have. If you have questions, you can call a tubal reversal nurse at (919) 968-4656.
June 26th, 2009 at 8:35 pm
I had my tubes burnt when I was 22 years because of the hectic life I lived. Now I am 28 years old and ready to settle down and have a family. I had been searching online to see if they could fix it so that i could carry a baby. My only problem is that I can’t find anything and with the new technology they have out to day you think they would. I just don’t believe in having a another woman carrying my child. I will adopt if this doesn’t work, but I also would enjoy motherhood of my own.
June 26th, 2009 at 8:40 pm
KARI – Many women have had the same situation as yours and now have their own babies after their tubal reversals. Read the information on the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center website and you will see that the technology does exist for you to be able to have a family of your own.
July 14th, 2009 at 11:13 am
Women who do this are destroying what God has given them. I have read studies have showing women regret tying their tubes and so they undergo another surgery to untie them. I think it is wrong to destroy something precious, so before you think about getting your tubes tied… think long and hard and talk to others before attempting this surgery. Remember performing ligation can prevent yourself from having a future child. If you truly desire a tubal ligation then go ahead, but try not to regret it.
July 16th, 2009 at 10:41 pm
It has been almost 2 years with mg tubes tide and I would like to have my tubes untied. I am with a new partner and we want to have a baby. How much would it cost?
July 17th, 2009 at 4:31 am
The cost of tubal reversal is discussed on this website page and in a video. Look at the navigation bars on the left hand side of the page for “Cost”.
July 17th, 2009 at 6:59 pm
Dr Monteith
I read your comments on April 13th 2009 at 8:04pm. I also had an ablation and my tubes tied. I am 44 yrs old and desire to become pregnant again. Is this truly possible per your comments on this post?
Genuine thanks!
Kimberlee
July 17th, 2009 at 10:43 pm
Kimberlee
You can have an ablation and become pregnant. We never know for sure who will or will not become pregnant- but as long as you are having periods pregnancy is always possible. With increasing age the chance of successful pregnancy does decrease.
July 21st, 2009 at 1:55 pm
I had my tubes banded five years ago and now I am getting sick alot. What could it be? I want to have another baby and I would like to know how much a tubal reversal costs?
July 21st, 2009 at 2:08 pm
A Griffin
Since I am unclear on what you mean about becoming ‘sick alot’, I can not give you any insight.
Tubal band reversal has an 80% pregnancy success rate. Currently, tubal reversal surgery at our facility costs between $5,400 to $5,900 with prompt payment. Please call (919) 968-4656 for more information.
July 23rd, 2009 at 5:52 pm
I had my tubes tied in 2005. And I am with some body new and we would like to have a baby. We are getting married next year. I am also having problems with my period every month. I never use to have the problems I’m having until I had my tubes tied. I was wanting to know if medicaid will pay to help me get my tubes untied.
July 25th, 2009 at 1:18 pm
I was wondering what are the risks of tubal reversal surgery? Will there be vaginal discharge or pain? I am 39 and thinking of having tubal reversal surgery. Can you give me any answers?
July 26th, 2009 at 8:23 am
Donna
Tubal reversal surgery at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center is very safe. It is a one hour out patient surgery. A small tubal reversal incision is made on the abdomen so there is no vaginal discharge. Most patients return to work in 5-7 days. You can call (919)968-4656 for a free tubal reversal consultation.
You can see an example of of tubal reversal incision in a previous article written by one of our patients, Georgia Peach, who is blogging about her tubal reversal surgery.
You can also read about the risks of tubal reversal and the risks of IVF and obtain more information by reading our blog series on Tubal Ligation Reversal After Age 40| Introduction.

Dr. Berger,
I am in my late 20′s. I have a son who is 4. I am due in November with my girl. My husband and I are wanting to get my tubes tied, but the thought of no more would scare me since my father passed away young and my mother remarried and had two more kids. I was wandering if I tied my tubes, and later wanted a child, would in vitro fertilization work?
July 31st, 2009 at 8:25 pm
Cynthia
Your history and the nature of your question suggests uncertainty. I would not have a tubal ligation if you are even considering having more children in the future. Your best option would be to consider an intrauterine device (IUD).
August 11th, 2009 at 9:40 pm
Hi I am a mother of 3 children and after my last one was born I had my tubes tied and clamped. I never thought I was going to get a divorce and then 9 years later it happened. Two years after my divorce I met a wonderful man and we are now married and would like to have more children. Is it possible for my husband and I to have more children.
August 12th, 2009 at 10:22 am
Tasha
It is very possible. You should call (919) 968-4656 for a free tubal reversal nurse consultation.
August 17th, 2009 at 5:05 pm
I have had my tubes tied, cut, and burned. I was also told that when they did this almost 2 years ago that my uterus was really thin. They saw the baby before they cut my uterus open. Is it possible to have my tubes untied and carry a child to term without complications.
August 17th, 2009 at 9:58 pm
Jennifer
It is very possible to have a tubal reversal, become pregnant, and carry a pregnancy to term without complications. When you have multiple C-sections each pregnancy would be high-risk; however, most women who have what you have will not have any problems.
Visit our Pregnancy Statistics page to see our most current success statistics.
September 1st, 2009 at 3:20 pm
I have three children and 6 weeks after giving birth to my third child I decided to have a tubal ligation. I’m recently divorced and I have met someone new who wants to have kids. My question is what are the odds of getting pregnant with a tubal ligation?
September 1st, 2009 at 10:02 pm
Jodie
If you have had a tubal ligation and want to become pregnant then you will either have to have a tubal reversal or have IVF. The chance of natural pregnancy after your tubes are tied (without a tubal reversal) is 1-15 per 1000 women depending on the type of tubal ligation you had.
September 8th, 2009 at 9:52 am
I am considering having another child. I am not sure if I got my tubes tied or burnt. I am interested in knowing if it is possible to do and if so, what is the cost and how long does it take to heal? In addition, how long does the procedure take and what is the healing time. Can a person return back to work immediately?
September 8th, 2009 at 12:14 pm
Toni
Currently tubal reversal costs between $5400-$5900. The tubal reversal is a 60-90 minute out-patient surgery. Most people return to work within 5-7days.
September 11th, 2009 at 11:45 am
I had my tubes tide in 2001 at Kaiser I believed they were cut and burn Im 35 what are my chances of getting it reverse and having another child.
September 11th, 2009 at 11:51 am
LULU – Take a look at our 2009 Tubal Reversal Pregnancy Report – at age 35 and after having your tubes tied (ligation/resection), your chances of getting pregnant after tubal reversal are over 60% at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center.
September 27th, 2009 at 4:51 pm
I am 37 and had my tubes cut 7 years ago. My husband and I are thinking about having another child and I did not know if it was possible to reconnect me. I know the doctor said he took out a piece of the tubes, but that is all I remember.
September 27th, 2009 at 5:08 pm
CHRIS – In most cases it is possible to reconnect the tubes. You could start by getting a copy of your operative report and faxing it to us to review.
September 27th, 2009 at 10:44 pm
Dr. Berger – I’m 33 years old and been with my boyfriend for 8 years. I have kids he don’t have any kids and we want to have kids together. I Had my tubes tied in 2000. My problem is that the hospital doesn’t exist anymore so I can’t find my medical records. I wanted to know if I get a sonogram done can they tell me how I had my tubes tied? Can you please help us. We want to be happy together. Thank you, Maria.
September 28th, 2009 at 3:35 am
MARIA – A sonogram will not be able to tell how your tubes were tied. You may be able to get a copy of your operative report from the doctor who performed your tubal ligation, but if not, you can still have the tubal reversal procedure. You have the option of starting with a screening laparoscopy. You can call (919) 968-4656 and a Tubal Reversal Nurse will help you.
October 2nd, 2009 at 12:00 pm
I had my tubes tied in Dec. 1998, the surgery was done while I had C-section. The problem – I don’t know what type of tubing was made on me. It was not explain correctly. I have my medical records, but it has no information. My husband and I would like to have another child. My question is what is the most common surgery? What is the percentage for a success pregnancy after reversing the tubing. Thank you for any information.
October 2nd, 2009 at 2:25 pm
GABRIELA – The most common type of tubal ligation is the Pomeroy procedure. This is almost always the method used when tubal ligation is performed at the time of a C-section. In our Pregnancy Statistics, we categorize this as “ligation/resection”. You can see what the chances of becoming pregnant after tubal reversal are based on your age in Table 5 of the Tubal Reversal Pregnancy Report 2009.
October 25th, 2009 at 8:39 pm
I got my tubes tied 7 years ago. Can they come undone on their own?
October 25th, 2009 at 9:41 pm
Lea
Many woman will ask this question. Although it is possible to naturally become pregnant after a tubal ligation without any type of procedure, many of this pregnancies will be ectopic (tubal pregnancies).
The best way to become pregnant after you have tubes tied is to have a tubal reversal.
October 29th, 2009 at 9:23 pm
I had an endometrial ablation 4 years ago. My periods are very light and brown now but I do still have one. I talked to my OB about getting pregnant and she said its ok after 4 years b/c the endometrium grows back. I see you have told others its OK. Are there a lot of risks involved? I got pregnant with my first 2 the first month I tried and had no complications. Does the ablation make my risks much higher?
October 29th, 2009 at 9:41 pm
SAMANTHA – Endometrial ablation increases the risks of miscarriage, premature delivery, ectopic pregnancy, and possible fetal abnormalities if pregnancy occurs. It also diminishes the chances of becoming pregnant. These risks occur if the endometrium has become scarred or damaged permanently. In some cases, however, the endometrium grows back and is normal, in which case the risks of complications associated with pregnancy are probably not increased. Having very light period suggests that your endometrium has not completely grown back. You could have your doctor perform a vaginal ultrasound exam to look at the endometrial development in the latter half of your menstrual cycle and/or have a diagnostic hysteroscopy to see if there are adhesions or areas within the uterus where the endometrium has not regenerated. If these tests are normal, then your risks would not likely be higher than for someone who has not had an endometrial ablation.
November 4th, 2009 at 5:06 pm
I want to have my tubes untied but the cost is a problem. Does anyone know of any insurance company that can help? I would love to hear any suggestions.
November 9th, 2009 at 3:22 pm
I can’t wait to save up the money to have my tubal reversal done. I had my tubal ligation done 2 years ago during my c-section and I totally regret it. My periods are 10 days long now when they use to only be 3 to 5 days. And I want another baby so bad. At the time I was in the process of a divorce and so afraid and overwhelmed with emotions. I feared getting pregnant in the future and having to raise all of the children alone. I wish I had waited because since that time, I met someone new and we would like to have a baby. I come to this site from time to time to read the success stories of other women who have had their tubes reversed. This site really gave me hope….
November 23rd, 2009 at 12:54 pm
I had my tubes cut , burned and tied 12 years ago and then about 10 years ago i had 1 tube and ovary removed due to a ruptured cyst. I have never had symptoms of pregnancy before – since the TL but now I am experiencing symptoms of pregnancy. My question is – is it possible to get pregnant after both surgeries without getting tubes “untied”? What are the statistic possibilities that I am pregnant?
Demetria
November 23rd, 2009 at 1:35 pm
DEMETRIA – It is possible but extremely unlikely that 12 years after your tubal ligation you would become pregnant. Of course, you can always run a home pregnancy test. That will give you a better answer than trying to figure out what the statistical probability is.
November 23rd, 2009 at 1:47 pm
Dr. Berger ,
I think I have been pregnant before and miscarried (heavy bleeding) before my first child i had 3 miscarriages and in between number 2 and 3 I had another miscarriage. I have read that after 10 years the tubal ligation is not as effective, is this true? My husband and I have discussed another child but we can not afford the reversal. Home pregnancy tests have never proven correct for me. I have always had to have blood tests. Even obviously pregnant the home tests came up negative- strange. I just wandered why my body would act so obviously pregnant when it is not? With each of my pregnancies I lost between 12 and 40 pounds and now I am losing weight again. I realize that I am probably not pregnant but I do wonder if there is any truth to the less effectiveness of tubal ligation after so many years.
Demetria
November 23rd, 2009 at 4:03 pm
Demetria
It is a myth that tubal ligation becomes less effective after several years. If women have tubal ligation failure then these pregnancies mostly happen within the first several years after tubal ligation.
If a woman wants to become pregnant after a tubal ligation then she has to choose either IVF or tubal ligation reversal.
December 22nd, 2009 at 1:44 pm
I am very interested in getting a tubal reversal procedure done. I am 42 now so it needs to be done pretty soon. I am on a budget and if possible, I can pay towards a payment plan.

I would love to have another child. I got my tubes tied because at the time I wasn’t working and my mom threatened to put me out if I didn’t. I knew what it was like because she put me out before with me and my oldest daughter and I was pregnant with my son. I didn’t want that for them.and now that I have a place of my own and I am older now and about to get married I would like to give my fiancee another child if God would allow it and we could raise our kids together. So i pray every night hoping god will send me a angel. Because I feel like my mom took a part of my life and now I want it back…..
January 13th, 2010 at 12:37 am

January 13th, 2010 at 8:24 am
T. LOVE – The best thing you can to to have children again after a tubal ligation is to come to Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center to have your tubes untied.
January 19th, 2010 at 4:40 pm

Are you able to reverse them for me I’m now 30 years old.
January 19th, 2010 at 5:53 pm

February 18th, 2010 at 2:27 pm
I had my tubes tied, burned, and clipped and i been with my boyfriend for 2 years and he want a child. And i want to give him one. I want to go threw with the surgery. Do we have to pay up front the whole payment or can we do a down payment and pay the rest off? How do it work?
February 18th, 2010 at 3:42 pm
Desiree – You can pay part at a time with the prepayment plan for tubal reversal. Contact Erica Pamplin, Business Office Manager at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center at (919) 968-4656 or via email at ErickaP@tubal-reversal.net.

I had a surgery when I was in my twenties. I had lost one of my ovary’s. I wasn’t sure if I could ever get pregnant. I had my son when I was 25. I then got pregnant with my daughter and had her at 27. I had my tubes tied. I had one done because I only had 1 ovary. Can I have it reversed after having one ovary? Can I get pregnant with one tube and one ovary?
February 22nd, 2010 at 1:00 pm
Rene
You can become pregnant with only one tube and one ovary!
February 22nd, 2010 at 2:07 pm
I had 2 kids with having 1 ovary. I am 36 years old. I was thinking of trying to have another baby. Is it safe to have a baby after 8 years after my daughter was born and having the one ovary. Do you know of any risks if I were go and have a tubal reversal?
February 22nd, 2010 at 2:12 pm
Rene
You can read about the risks of tubal reversal in our blog section.
If you have additional questions please fill free to call one our our tubal reversal nurses at (919) 968-4656 and they will be happy to answer your questions.
February 24th, 2010 at 1:36 am
I had my tubal reversal done back in 2007 and it left me with just one tube but we are expecting our second child after the reversal. It was totally worth it, so I would recommend it to anyone.
March 1st, 2010 at 10:28 am
I am 29 and the mother of a 6yr old. I had my tubes tied and burned about 4yrs ago and the doctor who did it said they couldn’t be untied. I really want another child now. I just want to know if you think it could happen? This is something that I really want. Please let me know if it is at all possible. I would love more than anything to have another child. Please call, write, or email me. (318)245-6421 or cookapril80@yahoo.com

Tied tubes can be reversed. You should look at our Pregnancy Statistics page to see the chances of getting pregnant after a reversal of tubal coagulation (burned tubes).You have about a 66% chance of becoming pregnant after reversal. With IVF the chance is approximately 35% for each cycle.
If you would like more information then please call the office at (919) 968-4656 to speak with a tubal reversal nurse for more information.
March 3rd, 2010 at 10:43 pm
I had my tubes tied about 13 years ago. I really want another child. I have 3 girls and I want to try for a boy. My fiancé dose not have kids. I know he wants a baby of his own, it would be the best gift that I could give him. I want to know if there is a chance for me. I really want this with all my heart and soul.
March 4th, 2010 at 7:24 am
Kisha
The length of time your tubes have been tied does not decrease the chance of pregnancy after tubal reversal. Increasing age has more of an impact; however, most of our patients who become pregnant are younger than the age of 43.
March 8th, 2010 at 8:00 pm
Hello I have gotten my tubes tied. Now my son is 5 yrs old and my husband wants another child. How do I go about getting my tubes untied. When I got the procedure done all they put was a clamp on my tubes and what are the chances that I will become pregnant and how much will it cost? Also do you know of any doctors that leave in the New York City area that deal with this kind of situation. You may contact me @ lucianoe4438@yahoo.com or you can contact me @ 516-234-1324 Thank you,
March 8th, 2010 at 8:14 pm
Elizabeth – Tubal clamps are the same as tubal clips, the best method for reversing tubal ligation. Depending on your age, the chances of getting pregnant after reversal of tubal clips is as high as 90% at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center. You can see the cost options at this website page: http://www.tubal-reversal.net/tubal_reversal_fee_financing.htm
To my knowledge, there are no doctors in NYC that specialize only in tubal ligation reversal. Your best choice in terms of the success of tubal ligation reversal and cost is Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center.
March 12th, 2010 at 9:15 pm
Dr. Berger,
I have been doing a lot of reading on the internet and have found several tubal reversal web sites. Do you also do the dye testing to make sure the tubes are open? Also do you do multiple layer repair on the tubes themselves. Your website is the MOST informative and the most professional. Thank you for your help!
March 12th, 2010 at 9:56 pm
R. Mangum
We do multiple layer closure- the muscularis and serosal layers. We do not do dye testing during reversal surgery, but we do have a tested and time proven way to insure the tubes are open after tubal repair.
March 21st, 2010 at 12:06 am
How much does it cost to get the tubes untied?
March 21st, 2010 at 1:17 am

April 11th, 2010 at 5:52 pm
I was wonder how much it is to get my tubes untied? How do they do it with payment or all at once? i was wonder if they would untie them i’m 42 years old? my e-mail address is pa.harris@hotmail.com. Thank you!!!
April 11th, 2010 at 6:38 pm
Paula – Read the page on cost for tubal reversal. There is a prepayment option. There is no arbitrary age limit for tubal ligation at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center.
April 12th, 2010 at 2:00 pm
I am 27 years old and a mother of five. I had my tubal ligation done about 6 weeks ago. My doctor used the Fallope rings. I was wondering how long do I need to wait to have them reversed? I am not happy about my decision. I let a lot of people influence me and I am wanting to have it reversed. Do you think it can be done? and how soon?

Sherri – Falope rings can be reversed. You can have this done any time you would like.
May 19th, 2010 at 7:23 am
I am 44yrs old, have two children, and would love to have another child. My tubes were tied 23 years ago. What is the chance of me having more children?
May 19th, 2010 at 7:58 am
MJ
You could have a tubal reversal and would have a chance of conceiving each month. It is very challenging to become pregnant naturally after the age of 43. Your best chance would be with IVF using donor eggs (approximately 40-50%).
We have had a patient become pregnant after reversal at the age of 46.
June 3rd, 2010 at 8:17 pm
I had a c-section and I told my doctor not to tie my tube. How would I know if he did or not?
June 3rd, 2010 at 8:27 pm
Michelle
The best thing to do would be to ask the doctor if they did it or not. You can also request a copy of the operative note from the hospital where you had your c-section and the operative note will list all procedure that were done during your c-section.
June 23rd, 2010 at 12:59 am
I had my tubes tied back in 2003 and would like to have a baby again. My finance never had a child and would love to have one of our own. I remember the doctor told me that she did a tubal clamp in case I wanted to have a baby again. Do you need to have my medical records to have my tubes untied? I am now 42 years old do you think I can still get pregnant and how long does it normally takes for me to get pregnant? Is it difficult procedure? I really want this done and would like to know how soon can I get it done and how much. Please email me at pgejazyjade@yahoo.com Thank you.

As long as you are having a regular menstrual cycle then pregnancy is always possible. It is harder to become pregnant with age but most of our patients who have reversal after the age of 40 become pregnant before the age of 43.
The tubal clamps- or tubal clips- are the best for reversing and, on average, about 70-80% of these patients will become pregnant. We have more information about the chances of becoming pregnant after tubal reversal on our website under Pregnancy Statistics.
It is always better to have the report of your tubal ligation operation but it is not absolutely necessary. We do the procedure at our reversal center as a one hour out-patient operation. You should call and speak to one of our nurses for more details (919) 968-4656.
June 23rd, 2010 at 12:57 pm
I read on someone elses question that you have a “tested and time proven way to insure the tubes are open after tubal repair‘, and I have a question. I will be traveling to North Carolina from Oregon. Do other doctors have the ability to do this test, or is it done while we are still in North Carolina during the procedure?
June 23rd, 2010 at 7:02 pm
Angela – This is performed during your surgery so that we know the tubes are open at the end of the tubal ligation reversal procedure.
June 23rd, 2010 at 9:00 pm
Angela
After your tubes are repaired they will be open. Occasionally tubes may heal closed after reversal. If our patients do not become pregnant within one year of reversal then we have them have a HSG x-ray with their local MD to see if the tubes are open.
June 24th, 2010 at 9:34 pm
all i want to know how to get my tubes untied i have three beautiful,smart well mannered children i am thirty four i have been married to the love of my life for 17yrs altogether 21yrs high school sweet hearts?:) ps. please help to bring that back!

July 5th, 2010 at 6:29 am
Pregnancy is possible after Novasure endometrial ablation but only if your periods return to normal. Otherwise, the endometrium will not be able to develop to support implantation and pregnancy.
July 7th, 2010 at 11:24 pm
where and to whom do I fax my records to?
July 8th, 2010 at 4:25 am
Fax to Tubal Reversal Center at (919) 967-8637. Please include your contact information (email address, telephone number) so we can get back in touch with you.

July 20th, 2010 at 12:17 pm
Michelle
Please call the office for a free tubal reversal nurse consultation at (919) 968-4656. The nurses should be able to answer most of your questions. We have a pre-payment plan that many patients will use. Using this prepayment plan they contribute money towards the surgery and will have the surgery when they have saved the full amount.
July 31st, 2010 at 9:28 pm

August 1st, 2010 at 9:36 am
Allena
Tubal reversal is very successful for most of our patients. We can reverse tubes over 90% of the time and about 3 out of 4 of our patients become pregnant. You should send us your tubal ligation operative report and we will be able to better determine your candidacy for tubal reversal. If you are unable to get your records then many women will consider a diagnostic laparoscopy. We look forward to hearing from you.
August 7th, 2010 at 6:43 pm
I am 35 year old and I want to get my tubes untied right now because my boyfriend want to have another child and he has one right now but he want to have one with me and I have three other kids and I really want to have another one but I need to get some more information about it. And you can e mail at sexyangelalways34@yahoo.com or call me at 435-621-8005 and thank you for read this and hope to hear from you really soon then
August 8th, 2010 at 7:40 am
Angela
To get the process started you should call the office (919) 068-4656 and speak with one of our tubal reversal nurses. You should also send us your tubal ligation records. A medical release form can be found on our website: medical records release
August 13th, 2010 at 9:16 pm
I am with someone now that has changed my ways and now I want another baby. I feel like I would lose him as well if I don’t get this procedure done. I want a baby with him and we would make a beautiful kid together. I need some assistance and I have great insurance through the military and want help. You can contact me through email at lovelilo26@yahoo.com. Please contact me I would even do a payment plan what ever it takes.thank you Jen

August 21st, 2010 at 1:55 am
I have had my tubes cut and burned for almost 8yrs now and is there anyway of having them undone?What would be the chances of having a baby? Would there be a lot of danger in having another baby. I’m 35 yrs old. Is it very risky how much would something like that cost? What if you get it done and it don’t work . I have 2 kids already.
August 21st, 2010 at 6:51 am
Edna
Your tubes can be reversed with one hour surgery at our reversal center. Your chances would be 64%. It is not dangerous to have a baby at the age of 35. The surgery is not risky and costs between $5400-6900 at our center. If it does not work then you would have to do IVF. IVF costs $10,000 for each try and each try is about 35% successful. We have more information about IVF or tubal reversal.
September 2nd, 2010 at 11:00 pm
Would like information on tube reversal you can reach me at lachrissyc@yahoo.com
September 29th, 2010 at 9:03 pm
I just recently had my tubes tied but now I want them untied to have one more child with the love of my life… I wonder do they have a payment plan? I will be saving these next couple of years so that I can have me one more little angel…
September 29th, 2010 at 9:11 pm
We do have a tubal reversal pre-payment plan. Please call the office at (919) 968-4656 for more information.
October 9th, 2010 at 4:01 am
I am 40 and had my tubes cut and burnt 16 years ago after my son. The doctor that did the procedure has since retired. I would love to have another baby but my finances are not the best. What would I have to do and what options do I have. Please any help or advice I would appreciate.
October 9th, 2010 at 4:06 am
To my last post I forgot to say that I live in Idaho
October 9th, 2010 at 6:41 am
Brenda Robertson – One option is the prepayment plan at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center. If you have questions, email ErickaP@tubal-reversal.net or call her at (919) 968-4656.
October 15th, 2010 at 9:09 pm
My tubes have been tied for 27 years is there any hope for me, and how bad would that be for me to take this chance? I am now 49 and need to have a baby.
October 16th, 2010 at 10:36 am
Lynette – At age 49, fertility is pretty low as you can see in this graph of fertility by age. Your best change to have a baby would be with donor egg IVF.
October 16th, 2010 at 3:23 pm
Hello, I had my son in 2006 by cesearian & was pretty sure that I wanted only 1 child so I had my tube tied (I say tube because I had 1 ovary & I beleieve the fallopian tube removed in my teens due to a cyst. I am 26 yrs old now, my son is four & I think my husband & I would like to have a girl. Can a reverse tubal help me even if I only have 1 ovary?
October 16th, 2010 at 4:34 pm
Amanda – A woman with one tube and ovary will have the same chances of conceiving after tubal reversal as women with both tubes and ovaries. The one ovary will compensate by ovulating each month. Here is where you can see the pregnancy statistics of patients at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center.
October 26th, 2010 at 8:33 am
I had my tubes tied and burnt in 2000. My doctor died in a car crash several years ago, not sure where my medical records would be. Is it possible to have it reversed after 10yrs? I have 3 beautiful children now, but feel there is a void ….I would love to become pregnant again…. Does insurance help cover the cost for this? My email is christypennix@yahoo.com…..thanks for any information.
October 26th, 2010 at 8:37 am
Christy
Tied and burnt tubes can be reversed. Look at our statistics on the chances of becoming pregnant after tubal reversal of tied tubes. Unfortunately, most insurance companies do not cover the cost of tubal reversal. To be more certain you would need to check with your health insurance company. The length of time since your tubal ligation is only relevant because of your increased age. Pregnancy can always happen if you are having periods but become harder to obtain after the age of 40.
November 6th, 2010 at 5:47 pm
I have a new boyfriend now and I had my tube tied in 2009. what are the chances of me having them untied in the next 1yr or so. would it be risky due to the fact that i had 3 c-section and 1 abortion
November 6th, 2010 at 5:52 pm
There is no increased risk of having your tubes untied related to your c-sections or abortion.
November 7th, 2010 at 11:22 pm
I am proud mother of four at age 34. I had my last child August 2006. I would like to have another baby. My tubes were clamped. What are my chances of reversing the procedure and becoming pregnant. Can you send me some literature? My partner & I would like to do this within the next year or year and a half. What are the options regarding payment?
November 8th, 2010 at 1:31 am
Hello, I had my tubes tied when I was 24. I have one child and I am very upset now that I have had them tied, I am 30 years old and want another baby. I was wanting to know if there was any type of insurance that will cover having it done?
November 8th, 2010 at 4:48 am
L. Johnson – At age 34, your chances of getting pregnant after reversal of clamped tubes are 82%. Look at Table 5 in your age category under “Clips” in our tubal reversal pregnancy report. Here is a link to information about tubal reversal payment options.
November 8th, 2010 at 4:53 am
Cadace – Most insurance companies do not pay for tubal ligation reversal. However, you can talk with a representative for your existing insurance carrier to inquire if they offer a policy that may do so.
December 3rd, 2010 at 6:01 pm
I got my tubes tying 8yrs ago and got pregnant in the tubes and they had to remove the left tube. I still have my right tube but then got pregnant again and just lost it because to much meds but now I have a great man and have been with him for 2yrs. What are the chances of me getting pregnant?
December 3rd, 2010 at 6:05 pm
I have a friend that had her tubes tied for 10yrs and got pregnant 4 times after that so if the tubes don’t untie why did she get pregnant? I also got pregnant but lost it and now only have one tube and the doctor said I still could get pregnant.
December 3rd, 2010 at 11:28 pm
Gwen
Tubal ligation is not perfect…but it is very close. If someone gets pregnant after their tubes have been tied then either the doctor missed the fallopian tubes during the surgery or, more commonly, the tubes will heal with a small opening in place called a fistula. Many pregnancies after you have your tubes tied will be in the tubes ..or ectopic pregnancies.
December 3rd, 2010 at 11:32 pm
Wendy
If both of your tubes have been removed then there is no chance of becoming pregnant naturally. You will need to have in vitro fertilization.
December 6th, 2010 at 6:17 pm
What if your tubes are cut tied and burnt? Can you still get them reversed?
December 6th, 2010 at 9:08 pm
Chrsity
Cut tied and burnt tubes can be reversible and most patients will become pregnant.
December 9th, 2010 at 4:42 pm
I am 27 and i got my tubes tied 5 yrs ago and i would like a baby with my new husben how can i go about this
December 9th, 2010 at 5:06 pm
Cristy – You can have your tubes untied (tubal ligation reversal) at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center. You can read the Getting Started with Tubal Reversal page on our website and/or call (919) 968-4656 for a free consultation with a Tubal Reversal Nurse.
January 5th, 2011 at 11:02 am
I’ve had my tubes tied since march 14th 2003, after my 3rd child. I had 3 C-sections, 3 abortions and 1 miscarriage. the Dr. told me that i cant have over 3 c-sections or it will be a 50/50 chance of me living or dying so thats why i had got my tubes tied, cause i was scared. But my questions is(1) “Is there any other method that is cheaper?” (2) will they ever untie by themselves after 7 1/2 yrs.
January 5th, 2011 at 11:35 am
Saleema Bryant – Tied tubes will not become “untied” on their own 7 years after your tubal ligation. The best procedure for tubal ligation reversal istubal anastomosis performed at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center.
January 14th, 2011 at 12:37 am
I just turned 25 in Nov. And I have four children of my own but would love to have a child with my new husband b/c he has none of his own and two year ago I have my tubes tied after have my last child !

Hope u can help us out! Thanks
January 14th, 2011 at 1:02 am
Whitley Watson – We can help you have a baby with your new husband. The tubal reversal procedure that we perform at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center is the least painful surgery that is possible. Watch the Tubal Ligation Reversal video to see for yourself and call (919) 968-4656.
January 16th, 2011 at 9:52 pm
I am 30 years old, and I just had my baby Dec 29th with a tubal ligation right after his birth. At the time, it seemed like a great idea, considering this was my 3rd child, but now, 2 1/2 weeks later, my husband and I both are regretting that decision. Is it too soon to undo it? Thank you so much.
January 16th, 2011 at 10:14 pm
Karen Herlocker – You can start the process of scheduling tubal reversal, since it takes time to get on the schedule, and by 6-8 weeks after your delivery it would be fine to have the ligation reversal procedure.
January 26th, 2011 at 4:42 pm
i want get my tubes untied and maybe have one more child i have 3 children how much does it costs
January 26th, 2011 at 4:59 pm
Christina – The cost for tubal reversal at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center is $5400 or $5900 depending upon which tubal reversal doctor you choose to do your surgery.
February 1st, 2011 at 11:16 am
I am 29 and I had my tubes tied not sure what the procedure was but my doctor said it could not be reversed.I dont know how to get my records because he is no longer a doctor were I live. He moved and I don’t know were.So I was wondering if there was a test to see if it can be reversed.
February 1st, 2011 at 11:55 am
Kim
Most tubal ligations can be reversed. The hospital where your tubes were tied would have your records. Some patients will come to us for reversal of their tubes knowing that we can repair tubes 98% of the time.
February 8th, 2011 at 5:00 pm
Is your tubal reversal cost in US dollars?
February 8th, 2011 at 5:09 pm
Yes. The cost is in US dollars.
February 9th, 2011 at 2:16 am
hi i had a tubal ligation done in 2000 with tubal clips. i then had it reversed in 2005.i fell pregnant 3 weeks after reversal so im very fertile.but when i had the baby my doctor tied my tubes without my consent.so after trying 4 years to conceive and couldnt get pregnant i investigated with hsg.it shows ive been tied but they cant see how far or how much tube let..and the doctor is trying to tell me here that cause of them being clipped once and then reversed and re tied there are no chances of being reversed again but…i had reversal done for a reason and my doctor re tied me so it isnt my fault what is my chance now,how much damage i probably done with those procedures.im so heart broken cause i had it reversed once and a doc messed up back home.im 32.and 4 children
February 9th, 2011 at 7:26 am
Allard
We have done second reversals and patients have become pregnant again. So it is possible to have a second tubal reversal.
February 20th, 2011 at 10:04 pm
I am 29 years old my husband and I have a 11 year old daughter I had my tubes tied after having her I had toxemia had 4 seziures and 2 mini strokes at 17 we have been together for 13 years now and would like to have a child again wanted to know if the first step to this is to find out what method was used to tie my tubes? Also if you know what my chances are to have another child are
thank you
Natalie
February 21st, 2011 at 4:36 am
Natalie – To find out what method was used to tie your tubes, you can get a copy of your tubal ligation operative report with our Medical Records Release Form. You can see from our follow-up study of patients that for women under 30 the chance of getting pregnant after tubal ligation reversal at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center is 80%.
March 8th, 2011 at 10:39 pm
I had a tubal ligation done in 2005. My new husband and I want to have a child together. The tubal that was done was where they place a ring around your tube. I have changed OBGYN from where I was going then and was told after 5 years they can tubes grow back together? Is this true?
Deedra
March 9th, 2011 at 8:00 am
Tubes can not grow back together. We have a blog article dedicated to this common question: Can Tubes Come Untied? Can Tubes Grow Back Together?
The best way to get pregnant after a tubal ligation is to have a tubal ligation reversal. Tubal rings are excellent for reversing and provide a high chance of success.
March 13th, 2011 at 4:06 pm
I sent for information and the video on tubal reversal at the time I was 38. Well my husband left me now 11 years we are back together and he wants a baby and I’m 49 soon to be 50 he is just 41. I still have my period my question is will I be able to get pregnant at my age?
March 13th, 2011 at 7:44 pm
VAL – Although we just had a baby born to a woman 50 years old after tubal reversal, the chances of it happening are a long shot.
March 24th, 2011 at 5:06 pm
Hello. I have two children with my ex husband. both were born via c-section. I had my tubes tied after my second was born. But, I am now remarried and he and I want a child together more than anything. only problem.. i am very overweight. Could my weight stop me from being able to have the surgery??
March 24th, 2011 at 5:23 pm
Tracy – You can use our BMI calculator for women to determine your Body Mass Index based on your height a weight. Your BMI needs to be less than 35 to safely have your tubes reversed. You can use this chart to see what your weight should be in order to schedule reversal of tubal ligation at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center – http://www.tubal-reversal.net/body-mass-index-bmi-table.htm.
April 10th, 2011 at 10:31 pm
I had my tubes tied, cut and burned 13 years ago. I just turned 39, have remarried and we would like to have a baby. I am in good health, 5′ 9″ – 128 lbs. What are the current fees and would it be possible for me to get pregnant after so many years? Do I honestly have a chance of conceiving and giving birth?
Thank You,
Derika
April 11th, 2011 at 6:40 am
Derika – For women in your age group who had their tubes burned (coagulation), the pregnancy rate is 64% according to our follow-up pregnancy study of Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center patients. However, you are at the upper end of the range (of women 35-39), so the probability of your getting pregnant after tubal reversal is more likely about 50%. Here is a link to information about tubal reversal fees.
April 17th, 2011 at 7:57 pm
I am 51 years old and healthy I had my tubes tied 21 years ago and I have medicade only where can I go for help if there is any
April 17th, 2011 at 8:58 pm
Mrs P Murphy
Medicaid will not pay for tubal reversal. At the age of 51 pregnancy would be very unlikely after tubal reversal.
April 18th, 2011 at 1:01 am
Dr. Berger I have 5 children ranging from 22 to 16 years of age. I have no children with my husband. I have my paperwork which states the tube was ligated about 1 1/2 inches from the corneal portion and the distal loop was transected for the specimen. It also states that a hulka clip was applied on the isthmic area on both sides and the right tube specimen was 15x5x5 and the left tube specimen sent to the lab was 10x5x5. I have genital herpes and we would like to have a baby. I am 39 years old and wonder if there is a chance left for me and my husband to have a baby. I would like to know what my options would be?
April 18th, 2011 at 1:17 am
Jeanette – You have had both a clip and ligation/resection method of tubal ligation. Since these were both applied to the portion of the tubes near the uterus and short segments were removed (1.5 cm and 1.0 cm), tubal reversal will be possible.
April 18th, 2011 at 4:14 pm
Thank you Dr. Berger. I want to speak with my husband and I think within the next 4 months we will schedule an appointment. The only other problem I see is that according to your charts a 40 yr old has only a 30% chance of getting pregnant. I will be 40 in December. Will me having the reversal before then increase my chances?
April 18th, 2011 at 4:42 pm
Jeanette – The 30% pregnancy rate in the tables is for all women 40 and older. Since women in the later forties are included in this group, the pregnancy rate is lower than just for women at age 40. The sooner you have the procedure, in general, the better since fertility declines naturally with increasing age, but a few months delay in not likely to a critical factor in the success of the tubal reversal procedure.
April 21st, 2011 at 3:43 pm
My name is Jesenia i am 31 yrs old and I have 4 children of my own, but I will be getting married this year and he has no children, my tubes were cut and burned. Can I still have a chance in changing that?
April 21st, 2011 at 4:14 pm
You can change this. I emailed you the information you will need.
April 24th, 2011 at 10:06 am
I am interested in getting my tubes untied, My tubes were clamped not cut. I was 23 when i had them clamped and now I am turning 26 and me and my husband dont have any children together and we are truly wanting to get them untied. Do you all think that Tri-care would cover the procedure? Do you all accept tri-care?
April 24th, 2011 at 11:09 am
Katriana – At age 26 your chances of getting pregnant after tubal clip reversal is over 90% when performed at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center. Tri-care doesn’t pay for sterilization reversal.
May 8th, 2011 at 7:20 pm
Hi my name is Nicole I’m a 34 yr woman who wants another child. I have 3 girls my husband is 41 and he doesn’t have any children so do you think it would be hard for me to have a child now. My tubes were clamped not tied. I have insured will it pay for it?
May 8th, 2011 at 9:19 pm
Nicole – At your age and with clips (or clamps), your chances of pregnancy after tubal reversal at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center are 75-80%. You can see this by clicking on the Pregnancy Statistics link. You should check with your insurance carrier to see if your policy covers tubal reversal surgery.
May 11th, 2011 at 10:31 pm
i am a 40 and had my tubes tied clipped and burnt is there a way to have another child and what is the fees please let me know as to my new husband would like a child you can email all the info and answer to……………..
May 12th, 2011 at 6:47 am
Tubal reversal and pregnancy are both possible. Currently the tubal reversal cost is $5900 and approximately 31% of women after the age of 40 will become pregnant naturally and after tubal reversal.
May 19th, 2011 at 12:15 pm
I am 37. I been dating this guy for 3 years and he want a baby. He does not have any. I have the ensure will, I be able to have him a baby.

Hi, im 27 and have 3 children. I got my tubes tied after my 3rd child 5.5 years ago. But now me and my partner are ready to have another one. I have read up and researched the costs of the procedure, but was told that eptopic pregnancies after having the procedure done are very high. I was told that i might be better of skipping the procedure and getting IVF done instead, although it can take a couple of times. I have never had a problem getting pregnant,hence the reason i got this procedure done in the first place. I was just wondering what the pregancy rate is after having your tube untied is?

If your tubal ligation fails then you can become pregnant in your tubes. If you want to have another baby you may be a good candidate for tubal reversal.

Hello, I am 40yrs old, my last pregnancy was 2005 and I got my tubes cut, but I had an ectopic pregnancy, and had 2 positive pregnancy test that ended up miscarriage, but how can that be possible? I will like to have one more baby, and I want to know what are my chances and what I need to do.

Jeanette
I have emailed you information.
Your miscarriages were likely early ectopic pregnancies which the body was able to treat without medical intervention. We call these ‘tubal miscarriages’.
You would have to send us your records so we can see exactly what was done to your tubes. We should be able to repair your tubes and allow you to become pregnant.

It is more difficult to become pregnant after the age of 43; however, if you are having regular periods then pregnancy after tubal reversal is always possible.
January 22nd, 2012 at 11:31 pm
I am 44 years old and I would like my tubes untied. I had them tied after I had my last child, but would like to have one more child with my husband. I was wondering if the chances are lower due to my age, and what would be the cost of this type of surgery. Is it possible for me to contact someone?
January 23rd, 2012 at 6:00 am

I would like to see if i could have a child …
January 23rd, 2012 at 3:05 pm
Connie
We exclusively specialize in tubal reversal surgery and our patients will travel to see us for reversal surgery. Many of our patients find it is much more affordable to travel to see us rather than have surgery in their home town. The rings can be removed and the tubal ends rejoined and you would have good chances of becoming pregnant.

Clari – You can speak with a tubal reversal nurse at (919) 968-4656. At age 27, your chances of being able to have more children after tubal reversal should be excellent.
