Hi I am 43 years old and would like to know the difference between the tied tubal ligation and the kind I had done at the age of 21 where they burned the ends of my tubes and what are the chances of me becoming pregnant again if I have had this procedure done? Thank you

Unfortunately, if both tubes have been removed we can not help you. You will need to consider in vitro fertilization (IVF) with a local provider. At the age of 43, they will recommend you use donor eggs with the IVF.

I am 43 and when I was young I had both tubes removed and one ovary removed. Now I think I am in pre-menopause. I have one son I had at 13 and he is now 28. I am 43 and would love to have a baby. I missed so much at that age. Can you help?

It is unclear if having a tubal reversal near perimenopause is beneficial. It is very possible you are undergoing hormonal changes as you approach menopause. Your doctor or a second opinion may be helpful.

I am 55 years old. I had a tubal ligation at age 29, after a fourth c-section. The doctor told me there were no side effects with a TL. Since that time, I have experienced heavier periods with severe cramps. I have had more severe PMS and being perimenopausal, I am still having periods — but sometimes, three periods a month. My children are raised, but I’m wondering if it is possible to do a reversal and get some relief for my crazy hormones & migraines. I donated a kidney in 2001 and worry about all the medication I have to take to relieve the pain of cramps and the stress it puts on my remaining kidney. At my age, I need help! I can’t find support or help from any GYN here in Utah. I have had thyroid issues as well, that I didn’t experience until the TL. Any advice or help will be appreciated. tara@byronandtara.com / 801-423-2814

The article explains some of the lesser known and unexpected forms of infertility. Often IVF is the first suggestion for infertility. As Dr. Monteith states, for women who have had a tubal ligation, tubal reversal is the best first option.
