Tubal Reversal Blog July, 2009

Tubes reversed and tubes untied. This was the plan of Lisa and Marshall in January of 2009 that brought them to Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center.

I had the pleasure of meeting the couple for a pre-operative visit to discuss tubal ligation reversal surgery. Initially, Lisa and Marshall chose to attempt pregnancy through in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and  Lisa underwent a single cycle of IVF, which was not successful.

After their IVF cycle, Lisa and her husband, Marshall, made the decision to have her tubes untied and reversed so they could attempt to conceive naturally.

Together they traveled to Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center from Orlando Florida (FL) for a tubal ligation reversal. Here is their story… Read the rest of this article and comment on it. »
