Do You Want a Baby after Tubal Ligation?
Posted On: Sunday, April 27th, 2008
The Doctor Who Unties Tubes
Dr. Gary Berger is a tubal reversal doctor who specializes exclusively in procedures to untie tubes. Dr. Berger created the first and only tubal reversal clinic – Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center. This is the best place to get tubes untied for women who want another baby after tubal ligation.
Why Untie Tubes?
One of the questions Dr. Berger asks his patients is what made them decide to have their tubes untied. In answering this question, women describe the circumstances which led them to want another child after tubal ligation. Most cases involve divorce and remarriage. Often the husband has no children, and the couple would like to have a family of their own. Some couples already have children together but realize that having a tubal ligation was a decision that they regret. Death of a child, religious considerations, and the desire to relieve symptoms of “Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome” are other reasons for wanting to get tubes untied.
Pregnancy After Tubes Tied
Although there are many websites that discuss reverse tubal ligation, information about success rates is often lacking or stated in general terms. To make a fully informed decision about tubal reversal, women should have specific and accurate statistics about pregnancies regarding a doctor’s own patients rather than a general statistic taken from some other source. Otherwise, it has little meaning.
Tubal Reversal Center Pregnancies
Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center provides information each week about pregnancies after tubal reversal procedures performed by Dr. Berger. Whenever one of Dr. Berger’s patients becomes pregnant, they can submit a Pregnancy Report Form to alert the Tubal Reversal Center staff of their pregnancy. This enables Dr. Berger and his nurses to monitor the results of the Early Pregnancy Protocol that is recommend by Dr. Berger. Each week, the new pregnancy reports are tabulated and listed in the Weekly Pregnancy Reports forum on the Tubal Reversal Message Board. During this past week, there were 20 new pregnancies reported by Dr. Berger’s tubal reversal patients. This is more than reported in a year by most doctors who perform tubal reversal procedures! Additional information about the new pregnancies is shown in the Pregnancy Announcements section of the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center website. A complete statistical analysis of the outcome of all tubal reversals is published as the Tubal Reversal Study Report each year.
Conclusion
By establishing a medical facility exclusively for tubal reversal procedures that untie tubes, following up on all patients who have had a reverse tubal ligation, and publishing their pregnancy statistics, Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center has set a new standard for other doctors who provide tubal reversal services to follow.

I am glad that Dr. Berger provides the information that he does in regards to tubal reversal surgery and the positive effects that it can have on a womans life. The pregnancy statistics that Dr. Berger keeps as well as the testimonials that are published allows women to see that there is hope after tubal ligation.
April 27th, 2008 at 6:34 pm
Many of the women who contact us feel they are the only person to ever decide to untie their tubes. It may be helpful for them to know that we hear from hundreds of women each week who have changed their minds and now desire to have another baby after a tubal ligation. This blog page provides good information on the many reasons that a woman might make this decision.
April 27th, 2008 at 8:23 pm
Since starting at the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center I have been amazed at the number of women who request to have their tubes untied. I have also been amazed at how surprised these same women are because we help them achieve their goals of fertility by untying their tubes without any personal judgments. They always comment on this and seem to be very happy after they leave the center.
April 28th, 2008 at 9:10 am
Having your tubes untied by have a tubal ligation reversal allows women to conceive again. It is the only other option besides IVF. Dr. Berger’s pregnancy success rates are higher than IVF in every category.
April 28th, 2008 at 12:00 pm
Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center is unique in the focus that we have on our patients after they have had their tubes untied and repaired. The follow-up process is detailed and comprehensive which is reflected in the data it provides to prospective patients. These pregnancy statistics inform patients so they can make the best decision about tubal ligation reversal.
April 29th, 2008 at 11:08 am
Brandon is absolutely right. The follow up process for our patients is unique. This process provides valuable data for our patients and our staff. It truly makes a difference for us to know how our patients are doing after their tubes are untied.
April 29th, 2008 at 1:56 pm
It is a source of pride for those who work at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center that Dr. Berger provides the best education and follow up care for his patients. The process of untying the fallopian tubes is a specialty that only experts in the field, such as Dr. Berger and Dr. Monteith, should perform.
April 30th, 2008 at 7:29 pm
[...] we had another successful day of untying tubes. We began the day at 7AM. Four patients were scheduled for tubal ligation reversal [...]
May 1st, 2008 at 7:08 am
The tubal reversal is less costly than IVF and provides a natural way for conception.
May 1st, 2008 at 11:45 am
Every women who is considering tubal reversal surgery should plan to come to Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center for their surgery. We are a small, private facility that offers one on one patient care. We are dedicated to only performing tubal reversal surgery, which makes us better able to serve tubal reversal patients!
May 6th, 2008 at 12:30 pm
Untying tubes, in tubal reversal surgery, can create the possibility of becoming pregnant more than once from just one surgery.
May 12th, 2008 at 1:39 pm
Dr. Berger is an excellent teacher as well as surgeon. He is very concerned about his patients achieving optimum success with tubal reversal. He has made himself available through email for anyone questioning the tubal reversal process. His continuing desire is to improve the experince at Chapel Hill Surgical Center for everyone.
December 1st, 2008 at 8:11 am
is there was to untye tubes with out surgery.can you help me
December 1st, 2008 at 9:29 am
If you have had a tubal ligation there are only two ways to have children after your tubal ligation.
Tubal ligation reversal. At Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center this is a safe out patient surgery which can be very affordable for most women. On average, 70% of women become pregnant after tubal reversal.
In vitro fertilization (IVF). Costs between $9-12,000 per try with 30% success rate. Requires hormonal injections and multiple visits.
March 6th, 2009 at 11:08 am
Is there a chance for me to have a baby again or become pregnant? I already ligated as a fimbriectomy but I want to have a baby again.
March 8th, 2009 at 4:01 pm
I am 43 years old and have a 23 year old daughter and a 7 year old son I got pregnant naturally both times after my son I got my tubes tied then we now want another one. My husband is the father of my son and we have been together 19 years this past January could you tell me we are not crazy, I have set the date for reversal for this Friday the 13th of March.
March 20th, 2009 at 6:33 am
I tied my tubes two years ago but now i want to have a baby again. Is it possible? VERY URGENT
April 23rd, 2009 at 9:39 pm
Can your tubal come undone after 16 years?
April 23rd, 2009 at 9:43 pm
You can have tubal reversal surgery to have your tubes restored but your tubes will not come undone by themselves.
May 29th, 2009 at 1:33 pm
I’m not real good with the medical term, but I had my tubes done 3 years ago and it was performed by three tiny incisions and the laser. Would I still be able to try and have a procedure for reversal?
May 29th, 2009 at 1:39 pm
JILL – Your procedure is almost certainly reversible. It still would be a good idea to get a copy of the operative report. You can use the Medical Records Release Form on our website for this purpose. If you want to talk with a Tubal Reversal Nurse, call (919) 968-4656.
June 7th, 2009 at 11:51 am
I am 37 and want my tubes untied. The cost in Albuqueruqe is very expensive. I would like to know, do I have a good chance at 38 years old? My boyfriend is 10 years younger then me. I want to have his child. What are the chances and the expense?
June 7th, 2009 at 1:31 pm
LUPITA – As you can see from the Tubal Reversal Pregnancy Rates of our patients shown on our website in the Pregnancy Statistics pages, your chances are about 2 in 3 of becoming pregnant after tubal reversal surgery at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center.

Call (919) 968-4656 to talk with a Tubal Reversal Nurse if you wish to have further assistance.

Hi all, I had my tubes tied after my last child 5 years ago. I never thought I would like to have another baby. I recently got married and my husband would love to have a child. However I was told that my tubes were burned at both ends. Can that be reversed?
June 8th, 2009 at 7:32 pm
MARLENE – If both ends of the tubes were burned (next to the uterus and at the fimbrial end of the tube), it is unlikely that this is a surgically correctable situation, but it would be best to send a copy of your operative report to us to be reviewed.
July 19th, 2009 at 10:52 pm
I don’t want to have surgery but would love to have another baby. I was wondering if there is something I can do other then surgery to make them come untied.
July 20th, 2009 at 4:08 am
The only was to have your tubes untied is through surgery. The alternative way to have another baby is in vitro fertilization (IVF).

I only have one ovary and tube – unfortunately I had that one tied in November 2007. Is it possible to reverse it? My husband and I would LOVE another baby!
November 29th, 2009 at 5:01 am

I am wondering if I am able to have another baby. I had a tubal ligation 5 years ago and I would like to get it reverse. I had my tubes burned. I believe that’s the term that was used. Is it possible to for me to still have children?
December 28th, 2009 at 7:57 am
MURRAY – Here is information about pregnancy rates after tubal reversal – in these tables “coagulation” is the term used for referring to burned tubes. So you can see that it is certainly possible to have children again even though your tubes have been burned.
December 30th, 2009 at 10:09 pm
I got my tubes untied in March. I need to know can Is there a chances I can get a baby?
December 31st, 2009 at 12:02 am

January 18th, 2010 at 4:04 pm
I had my tubes tied at Shands hospital(Gainsville,FL)
in March of 2007. It has been 3 yrs since my handsome son was born, but I tied my tubes. Now I wish I would have left them untied. I want another kid. I am not crazy. I love kids and I have 3 boys and no girls……but I love them all them equally. The doctor that did it had the talk with me about was I sure I wanted my tubes tied and now I am sure I want more children.
January 28th, 2010 at 11:20 am
I want a child but my tubes have been burned and tied 13 years ago. I also had a Novasure endometrial ablation surgery. Can I still have a child?
January 28th, 2010 at 12:35 pm
Genise
Tubal reversal after endometrial ablation is possible. To have reasonable chances at pregnancy you would have to be having a regular menstrual period. Please read our blog series about risk of pregnancy after endometrial ablation.
January 29th, 2010 at 12:50 am
I just wanted to know if i have a procedure of laparoscopic tubal ligation. Is it possible to have it reversed and what are my chances of conceiving a baby. Because am looking forward into having my tubes untied. And how much will it cost me because its so expensive here in Tacoma Washington.
January 29th, 2010 at 5:37 am
Newly military wife – The chances of conceiving a baby after tubal ligation reversal at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center are shown on the “Pregnancy Statistics” page. Here is a link to the information on the cost of tubal reversal at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center.
February 3rd, 2010 at 5:12 am
I had my tubes tied and burn 5 years ago after a C-Section, what kind of procedure would be the best procedure to reverse my tubes, how long would that procedure take, how long would I be out of work after the procedure and how long would it be before I conceived a baby? I know these are a lot of questions but my husband and I would like to have another baby, hopefully by 2011 or 2012! Would it be possible to have another child?
February 3rd, 2010 at 9:37 am
Adriane
Your chances of becoming pregnant after tubal reversal are excellent. You should call our office at (919) 968-4656 and one of our staff can answer all your questions.
March 30th, 2010 at 7:40 am
My wife and I have been trying to have a child after 16yrs,she had the procedure done last year. We are in our 40′s. How long would it take or a case that you know that has taken longer? Thank you for doing such a great job of reversing my wife’s tubes after so many years.
March 30th, 2010 at 7:54 am
Most of our patients report pregnancy within 8 months of reversal surgery. If pregnancy has not happened by 12 months then your wife should have a HSG. If both tubes are open then pregnancy is possible and may take longer. It can be much harder for older women to become pregnant. We have had patients naturally conceive and give birth between the ages of 45-47. A recent patient became pregnant after reversal at the age of 46.
May 23rd, 2010 at 12:05 am
I’ve been told there is no one near here in Gallup New Mexico that can untie my tubs. But I really want to have a baby.So can you help my husband and I?
May 23rd, 2010 at 2:03 pm
Annalisa
Many of our patients will travel to see us for tubal reversal. We have had patients come to us from across the United States and every major international country. We can help you with your reversal and you will find it cheaper to travel and have reversal with us than to try and do it in your local area. Please call the office at (919) 968-4656 for more information.
November 16th, 2010 at 12:15 am
I am 34 & been in a relationship with a man whose baby died we both want a baby i had my tubes tied 8 yrs ago. we cant to try invitro what are the cost of tubal reversal?
November 16th, 2010 at 6:23 am
Tubal reversal at our center currently costs around $5400. This is much cheaper than the alternative treatment of IVF, which costs around $12000 for each attempt.
December 18th, 2010 at 4:59 pm
Please I am a 30 year old female and I wanna have another baby where are you located and can you give me an idea of how much it would cost?
December 18th, 2010 at 5:05 pm
I have emailed you the requested information.
December 21st, 2010 at 7:02 pm
I would love to have another baby with the love of my life I’ve 5 children grown and the problem is I don’t know if it could happen (tubal reversal) since I have medical problems and a liver disease in which I have to take meds for and meds for the other problems I don’t want nothing bad to happen to the baby. And the biggest problem also is that I’m on Medicaid and disability and really can’t pay for this. I’m 44 years old.
Here is my e-mail: amandabranscum@att.net plus I live in the state of Texas and they don’t like paying for anything or even helping if you really need it some of my meds run up to $500.00 for just one month.

We can certainly help you if you want to have a tubal reversal. We do have a pre-payment plan where you can gradually pay towards having your tubal reversal and when paid in full you can have surgery. We would have to first evaluate your medical records to see if surgery at out center would be safe enough for you with your liver disease. It is harder to become pregnant naturally with increasing age. After the age of 43 IVF with donor eggs may be your best option.
March 6th, 2011 at 1:44 pm
In 2006 after my second daughter was born my ex-husband forced me to have my tubes tied even though I didn’t want to, is it still possible to have it reversed? I have a fiance who is young yet and wants a baby of his own and I am afraid I will never be able to have children again. I have title 19 insurance right now, but I understand that they will probably not pay for me to have it reversed. What can I do to have a baby with my soon-to-be husband?
March 6th, 2011 at 1:50 pm
Danielle – You can have your tubes untied. Although your insurance does not pay for tubal ligation reversal, you may want to learn about the prepayment plan at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center.
March 9th, 2011 at 5:33 pm
I had 3 c-sections and got my tubes tied on the last. had my BTL on March 6, 2006. I’m about to marry for the first time and my soon to be husband has no children. I’m about to be 35 and we want at least one child of our own. Would this be an option for me?
March 9th, 2011 at 6:06 pm
Ms Jones – Tubal ligation reversal will be an excellent option for you! Having your tubes tied at the time of your last c-section indicates you probably had a Pomeroy tubal ligation. At your age, the chances of getting pregnant after tubal reversal at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center are between 60-70%. You can see this in the Pregnancy Statistics page on our website: http://press.tubal-reversal.net/2009/pregnancy-rates-by-age-and-tubal-ligation-method.html.
March 14th, 2011 at 11:12 am
I had a tubal ligation done 24 years ago but I only had them tied . My husband and I are older than your clients . He is 52 and I am 48. We have talked a lot about having more children. Is it possible to have them undone. The fertility doctor I talked to years ago said that I had a 85% chance but 13 months ago I had barriatric surgery done . What are our chances of having a baby after tubal reversal? Please let me know via email or mail what we need to do to do this . I have bcbs insurance, do you think you can help us? Thanks. Valerie
March 14th, 2011 at 11:24 am
Valerie
Tubal reversal and pregnancy are both possible for you. If you are having regular periods then you can become pregnant but it is very difficult to become pregnant naturally at the age of 48. We recommend IVF with donor eggs for the best chances. It does become difficult with increasing age but we have had patients at the age of 46 and 50 (tubal reversal at age 50) become pregnant. Health insurance will not pay for tubal reversal surgery.
March 24th, 2011 at 2:53 pm
im sarah..from dubai i have 5 children already when after delivery with my last child i decided to do ligation in phillipines.but my husbund we already seperate,then i found a new man we r getting married and he want to have a baby to our own now im only 28, at my age 29 it is can possible to have a baby again without doing anything any surgery but im already 3 years ligation i want to have baby for him because i love him.
March 24th, 2011 at 5:17 pm
Anonymous – To get pregnant again, you will need to undo the tubal ligation or go through the expensive and complicated treatment of IVF. Your best chance of having a baby after tubal ligation is to come to Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center to have your tubal ligation reversed.
March 27th, 2011 at 2:54 pm
ok i got my tubes tied when my youngest daughter was a year old…now she is almost 6 and i want to have another baby…The doctor that did it said that it could not be reversed is that true
March 27th, 2011 at 3:02 pm
Many doctors say that tubal ligation cannot be reversed, but in almost all cases tubal reversal is possible. You can get a copy of your operative report, send it to Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center along with your contact information, and we will let you know whether your tubal ligation can be reversed.
March 27th, 2011 at 3:43 pm
okay another question is can you put implants in the place of tubes
March 27th, 2011 at 4:03 pm
Tubes can not be replaced and can not be fixed with implants. They can be rejoined successfully and allow for natural pregnancy.
March 27th, 2011 at 8:39 pm
Is a hysterectomy the only way you cant have a baby or is there a way that your doctor ties your tubes that you cant have tubes untied?
March 27th, 2011 at 9:29 pm
Holly
You can not have a baby if you have a hysterectomy (uterus is removed) but most tubal ligations can be reversed.
April 4th, 2011 at 10:10 pm
I have a question, I had my tubes tied in 1999, im currently 32 with 3 kids married to a 42 yr old. If I get my tubes untie what is the percent rate of becoming pregnant? I have regular cycles and my husband has a 4 yr old. Also how long in general does it take to become pregnant after tubal reversal? We really want a child together.
Thanks Trina
April 4th, 2011 at 10:23 pm
Trina
Most patients become pregnant within 12 months of tubal reversal. At the age of 32 your chances of becoming pregnant after tubal reversal is 73%. You should send us a copy of your tubal ligation operative report and we can give you a better advice.
April 28th, 2011 at 11:59 am
Hi I am about to turn 43 in October I have had 4 C-sections and I had my tubes tied in 2001 after I had my son. Now my husband would like another child. I hear that it is very hard to get pregnant after your 40′s. I am not interested in the IVF I hear that is very expensive. What is your percentage (tubal reversal success rate) rate for women in their 40′s. And do you require patients to be at a certain BMI for your surgery.
April 28th, 2011 at 12:39 pm
Traci
Approximately 30% of women report pregnancy to us after tubal reversal. Most of these are between the ages of 40 and 43. Patients who have surgery at our tubal reversal center must have a BMI of less than 35.
May 30th, 2011 at 8:53 pm
I have a tubal ligation and had a cone biopsy on my cervix. ended a 17yr marriage and looking at my next relationship. We are discussing having a baby. I am 35yrs old. is this even possible for me?
May 30th, 2011 at 9:05 pm
April
None of the things you mention should be a problem with having tubal ligation reversal. Your chances for getting pregnant after tubal reversal should be about 64%.
It is important that you do not delay too long in your decision because the ability to become pregnant does decrease with age and this tends to happen more quickly after the age of 40.
June 6th, 2011 at 10:15 pm
i just had my third baby in 2010 an i’ve really been thinking about having another baby but my tubes are tied… idk what to do about it i love o give my further husband another child even though we made the agreement to get them tied an now we want another baby.. so wat do i need to or can do about this????

Also they’re partial removed is it possible??? Can I get it reverse and would I be able to have a baby.
June 12th, 2011 at 8:56 pm
Carolyn Carter – At age 25, you can certainly get your tubes reverwed, even after four c-sections, and your chances of having another baby are 90% or more at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center.
June 21st, 2011 at 3:33 pm
I am 36 yrs old and I have had my tubes clipped and burned is there any possibility to have that reversed and I be able to have another child. I have regular menstruals and all my pregnancies have been regular no problems or anything. Is there any hope for me???
June 21st, 2011 at 5:13 pm
Misourian – Of course there is realistic hope for you to have another child! At Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center, your chances of getting pregnant after tubal reversal are about 70%. Call (919) 968-4656 if you have any questions.
August 19th, 2011 at 8:58 pm
What about insurance coverage and costs of procedure?
August 20th, 2011 at 6:30 am
The cost of the procedure at our facility is $5900 and mos insurances will not pay for tubal reversal.
August 20th, 2011 at 9:38 am
As Dr. Monteith said, most insurance companies will not pay for tubal reversal surgery. However, it never hurts to call and ask them. We have had a few reports that patients have received some money back after filing the receipt given at discharge which includes the diagnosis and procedure codes. Also, I wanted to mention that you should call the office for special pricing which is good through September.
September 28th, 2011 at 3:09 pm
Hi I’m a 2yr old mom I got 2 kids and in my third marriage but my present husband don’t have anykids and I would to give him that plesure but I can’t affored wut all these doctors ask for so if u can help me out I be very glad my # is 956 222 1611 in from texas
September 28th, 2011 at 5:19 pm
Janie – Call (919) 968-4656 and ask about any special prices available and the pre-payment plan for tubal reversal.
October 21st, 2011 at 1:03 pm
If i had my tubes cut, burn and tied – can i get my tubes untied an can i have more kids… what are the risk
October 21st, 2011 at 5:59 pm
Rosaimes Horne – Even with tubes that have been cut, tied, and burned, it is possible to get your tubes untied. There is a slight increased risk of ectopic pregnancy.
October 25th, 2011 at 5:50 pm
Hi Dr. Berger
What is that supposed to mean?

Rosaimes Horne – There is no guarantee that you will get pregnant after getting your tubes untied, but at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center the probability of pregnancy after tubal reversal is 70% overall and is higher for women under age 35.

It is our professional opinion that a tubal reversal surgery would be an excellent option to become pregnant. At the age of 26 you have up to an 80% chance of becoming pregnant.

how much would that be? any risk in the pregnancy
October 26th, 2011 at 11:39 am
The cost is currently $5900. There is an increased risk of tubal pregnancy (10-15%) but when the pregnancy gets to your uterus the remainder of the pregnancy should be normal and low risk.

Doctor, My girlfriend and I have been getting pretty serious in out relationship and are think about getting married soon. She already has 2 kids from another man but, she now has her tubes tied. What would be the usual price to either untie her tubes or fertilize?

Michial Rocha – The cost to have tubes untied or to have in vitro fertilization ranges from $10,000 to $30,000 around the US. At Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center, the price to untie tubes is $5900 and the pregnancy rate is the highest anywhere. This is possible because tubal ligation reversal is all that is done at this specialty center.
