I’m sad…I’m 23 and I already have three beautiful daughters who I love very much. I am not with their father and have recently found the love of my life. I got my tubes tied after my last daughter and now want to give my new husband a baby. Unfortunately, I can not afford to get a tubal reversal.

I am wondering if the state medical covers reverse tubal. I am 24 and I had my tubes tied three years ago. My husband and I are debating on one more child, but its more the fact I have been dealing with depression, mood swings, severe pms, and heavy bleeding – symptoms of PTLS.

SHANNON – In order to have another baby after your tubes have been tied, you need to either get your tubes untied or have treatment by in vitro fertilization (IVF).

Can you have a baby through fertility treatment when you have your tubes tied?

By: Dr. Berger

Dr. Berger — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 16:20:57 +0000

SHANNON - There is no home remedy, but you can get your tubes reversed. There is a weight limit that is dependent on your height, called Body Mass Index (BMI), and your BMI must be under 35 to schedule tubal ligation reversal. Here is a page on our web site where you can calculate your BMI based on your height and weight.

I got my tubes tied in 2001 after I had my son. I met a man that I love and he has no kids. We want to have a child. Can I get my tubes reversed and is there a home remedy without surgery? Is being overweight a problem for tubal reverse?

SHONDA – In order to become pregnant again after having your tubes tied, your options are tubal reversal surgery or IVF. Tubal reversal at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center is considerably less expensive than IVF. It also has fewer complications than IVF, but does increase the chance of having a tubal pregnancy.

Paula
Most tubal ligations are reversible- over 98%. Many times doctors tell patients this and, in fact, the tubal ligation can be reversed.

You should call the office (919) 968-4656 and we can talk and explain more. Many of our patients will come to our center with stories similar to yours. Some patients will also consider a screening laparoscopy, which us allows to look directly at the tubes before a major incision is made.

I am 33 years old and I had my tubes tied and burned 9 years ago afther my third child. When I turned 30 I really wanted another baby. I found your website and was told that I needed to find out what type of surgery I had. I called my OB and he told me that there was no possiple way at all for me to have children again because of the way he tied and burned my tubes. Is there a certain way that this procedure can be done that a reversal would never become possiple? Should I just forget about having another child? Have you heard of other OB’S telling other patients this? Please comment back…

I had my tubes tied after my third child last year. I have been having the worst pains during my menstruation now. My menstruation also lasts much longer than they did before I had the procedure done. Is it possible to have it reversed and how much would it cost? If I would have known how much pain I would be in when my cycle comes, I would have never have done it.

I had my tubes cut tied and burned after the birth of my last child 5 years ago. I never dreamed that my marriage would end and I would find the love of my life, who desperately wants a child of his own. I would love nothing more to have another child. I have felt different since the day I had the tubal ligation. I truely regret it. My ex-husband never wanted children and after 4 I had my tubes tied. Is there a chance that my husband and i can still have a baby? Is a tubal reversal even possible after my tubes where cut, tied and burned? Any information that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.

Dr. Berger’s explanation of the various ligation procedures many women have had for sterilization purposes makes the information for tubal reversal easier for patients to understand. The illustrations show the tubes tied,the ends cut or burned and then separated. However, the ends can be brought together, to be reconnected and function as a whole tube again, through tubal ligation reversal or “untying tubes”.

By: jgokun

jgokun — Thu, 01 May 2008 16:37:01 +0000

This is one of the most frequently asked questions! Many women do feel that the reversal is as simple as taking a tie off of the tubes. This information will help clarify what happens during a tubal ligation.
