Comments on: My Journey to Tubal Reversal With Dr. Berger http://www.tubal-reversal.net/blog/2009/dr-berger/my-journey-to-tubal-reversal-with-dr-berger.html Tubal ligation reversal by Dr. Berger and Dr. Monteith at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center. Sat, 21 Nov 2009 23:08:33 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Kristine D http://www.tubal-reversal.net/blog/2009/dr-berger/my-journey-to-tubal-reversal-with-dr-berger.html/comment-page-1#comment-5945 Kristine D Fri, 21 Aug 2009 15:57:58 +0000 http://www.tubal-reversal.net/blog/?p=4210#comment-5945 In 2000 I chose to have a tubal ligation after losing my son to severe eclampisa and HELLP Syndrome in 1995. It was suggested I not have a child or try. On 10/11/2004 Dr Berger and staff performed my tubal reversal instilling hope in me that one day I would have that <a href="http://www.tubal-reversal.net/patient-satisfaction-messages/2009/miracle-makers.html">miracle baby</a>. Over the course of a year and a half, I became pregnant twice via IUI but sadly both times my pregnancy ended in miscarriage and the last one was a suspected tubal pregnancy and a follow up <a href="http://www.tubal-reversal.net/post-tubal-reversal-hysterosalpingogram-hsg.htm">HSG</a> showed one tube possibly blocked. Due to a change in my marital status at the age of 36 I pretty much gave up all hope of having a child and put that to rest and just forged ahead with life. Well.... As luck would have it my life changed with a new relationship and new outlook and shockingly I discovered, after being 11 days late, in early May 2008 that I was indeed pregnant. We were not trying and quite frankly had said "no children" and based on my history with having to use fertility treatments the thought of getting pregnant on my own was not even on my mind. I was not prepared for the "it's positive" from the nurse. I cried for various reasons. Well to make a long story short, after a very high risk pregnancy Michael Jon was born on 11/19/2008. He came early at 32 weeks and only weighed 2lbs 10 ounces due to IUGR. It was a long 6 week NICU stay but today he is 9mos and 1 day and the best miracle I could ever ask for. I will be celebrating my 40th birthday in September with such joy. I'm still amazed today that I <a href="http://www.tubal-reversal.net/pregnant-after-tubal-reversal.htm">became pregnant</a> after all my body has been through. Like you I know that Tyler will never be replaced but I have been given the greatest gift I ever wanted...to be a mom.

We were not trying and quite frankly had said “no children” and based on my history with having to use fertility treatments the thought of getting pregnant on my own was not even on my mind. I was not prepared for the “it’s positive” from the nurse. I cried for various reasons. Well to make a long story short, after a very high risk pregnancy Michael Jon was born on 11/19/2008.

He came early at 32 weeks and only weighed 2lbs 10 ounces due to IUGR. It was a long 6 week NICU stay but today he is 9mos and 1 day and the best miracle I could ever ask for.

Everytime you look in the mirror, hug your son and take care of your family the way you do, you should smile and be very happy in knowing the woman you've turned into is a great person.

I wish you the best with Dr. Berger and your <acronym title="Tubal Reversal"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9THl6jLn6w">TR</a></acronym>. I had the same intuition when it came to choosing <acronym title="Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center">CHTRC</acronym>. Within 3 months without trying we conceived TR Baby #1 and he is now a healthy and happy 3 month old. My life will never be the same. I can't say that I know your pain and your lost because I haven't dealt with something so traumatic with my children. God will bless you with more children, Dr. Berger is an EXTREMELY GIFTED surgeon and I believe with the core of my soul that he was put on this Earth to give life, give back the heart and soul to women who wouldn't be able to conceive otherwise. I thank God everyday for my baby and Dr. Berger. I let everyone know at church too that he wouldn't be here without God and the talented hands of Dr. Berger and his staff. I couldn't imagine life without him, so yes, my heart aches for your situation. You are in my prayers! I believe that Jayden will be just as excited as your eldest when the new baby comes here! Good luck and God bless you on your TR journey! Joy Hi Lisa,

I cannot imagine the unbelievable and unthinkable loss of a child. I mourn for you as a parent. However, after reading your blog I was also excited for you b/c you found peace just like many women do after years of suffering from PTLS just from landing on the <a href="http://www.tubal-reversal.net/">CHTRC</a> website. Almost like a gift from God, it came upon me, as well! Women, Friends, Family, Dr.'s, and other medical professionals may truly never know the burden physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually that PTLS claims on the lives of women after a TL. Hopefully, with CHTRC and their ongoing study, we can make a difference in the lives of women in the future. My very best wishes to you and your family and future! I look forward to the rest of your blog! Lisa R.- You are an amazing and true inspiration. I cannot imagine the unbelievable and unthinkable loss of a child. I mourn for you as a parent.
