I too was told I was too old and there was “no way” they were going to help me. I just turned 47 with no signs of menopause but feel I am racing the clock. I’ve been remarried for three years and my husband has no children of his own which he badly desires, as do I. We’re not selfish, one child would be heaven. My first husband threatened to leave me if I didn’t have the tubal. I was young and not at all assertive, I have regretted it since. Now my husband and I are paying the price for that decision. I wish I could find a doctor to at least give me a fighting chance before it is too late. Ironic that my doctor has remarried and had two children at my age. Granted he’s not the one delivering, but it’s still hypocritical in my book.

Thank you. Dawne’s story is a great inspiration to me, I’m in the process of coming to Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center and this is such a great faith story of not giving up and to trust God. Thanks so much, so to all to be new mothers out there, step out on faith and go on and plan that nursery as I did knowing that God will grant this unto you, remember faith without works is dead, thanks again and may God continue to bless you.

Thank you for sharing Dawne's story. I just turned 45 and remarried for 2 years. The doctors made me feel like an old maid and having a child is impossible without donor IVF. They also refuse to untie my tubes because of my age. We prefer to have a child naturally. This story inspires me to make the appointment to have my tubes untied knowing we did our part. The rest we will leave in Gods hands.

This is such an encouraging story! I just had my tubal reversal and they were only able to reconnect one tube (the other was too badly damaged). I just turned 40 this year and was originally told that IVF was my only viable option. However, because of my high FSH and low egg count, my doc agreed that TR was the best option. So two weeks out of surgery - with one tube connected - I am optimistic! This story warms my heart and tell me that it is possible. Thank you!

Congratulations Dawn. This is such a encouraging story. A year ago I had my tubes untied at age 46. I am hoping and praying to go through motherhood again. No thanks to all the doctors that made me feel as old as a dinosaur. Maybe God can prove them wrong. God bless.

I have been praying for a baby for over 5 years..I am 47 and had my tubes tied after my third child in 1991. My husband of 8 years had a vasectomy 20 years ago. We have been praying for a miracle. We raise our 8 year old grandson, but really feel in our hearts for another baby. We believe in miracles beyond miracles. I just keep praying God fixes both of us because we really don't have the income right now to fix us both. We believe God can fix us, but we also believe in the use of doctors. My youngest son Travis passed away at 14 in 2006. We had discussed and prayed before his passing so this baby would not be a replacement, as no one can replace my Travis. God bless all of you and I will continue to pray. I actually have a new car seat, pink bible scripture baby quilt, dress, and mommy, daughter bracelet, a lot of faith. If it is to come to pass, than it will, if not than that will be Gods Will. I will check into my insurance though to see if it is possible, with God all things are possible. God Bless all of you.

I am so happy that my sucess story has been an inspiration to others. Unfortunately many doctors and family members/friends can be discouraging when you mention that you are trying to conceive after a certain age. It is important to try and stay positive and draw inspiration about your decision from where ever you can get it. I can personally say there really is no better feeling then when that pregnancy test comes back positive and nine months later you get to welcome another love into your life who will soon call you Mommy.

Good luck Lisa, Myrtle and Denise. It seems like 45 is the new 35 for having babies!!!

Yes, thank you Dawne for this glimmer of hope for all of us “over 40″ group. I’m 45 and scheduled for my TR the end of May. I am going into this with the attitude “what is meant to be will be” I have age against me, and a high FSH level. BUT, I have soul searched and prayed about this and feel it IS what I’m suppose to do. Chapel Hill has given me a chance to change my mind a couple times but I have faith that I am suppose to do this and then let God take over. Thanks again Dawne, you are a special woman for sharing and giving inspiration to the rest of us.

I too will be 45 before any of this will be possible for me but this story gives me some hope that once I have this done, I should be able to have one of those TR babies too!

Congratulations Dawn and Cedric! Cole is adorable. Thank you for sharing your story. As Dr. Berger stated, the decision to have the tubal reversal is highly personal. However, I do believe that testimonials like these play a part in the decision of many women over the age of 40.

Thank you so much for sharing Dawne’s story. It is so encouraging. I am 45 and scheduled for surgery in May! My husband and I are so excited, yet we are also ready to accept whatever happens or doesn’t happen. I will just be glad to be put back together again.
