At the age of 31 I had the Essure procedure in November 2006, not really thinking about what I was doing and knowing that I still wanted children. However, being a single mother of 2 boys I thought it was the best thing to do.

I met my fiance mid 2007. Shortly after meeting him I realized what a HUGE mistake I made. In 2008 I began surfing the internet looking for any information I could find on reversing Essure.

Waiting for My TR

Waiting for the tubal reversal surgery brought on much anxiety. It was a rather long wait for me and my husband and son, Harry and Ian, too. But, I can not begin to explain the amount of help that Dr. Berger and all his staff were for me, in helping me to relax and get through the wait. When the day came to leave for the drive to North Carolina, I am not even sure I thought life was real, that this was really about to happen. My anxiety went through the roof, as I am sure everyone else goes through. Read the rest of this article and comment on it. »

I had to work the day we were supposed to leave for North Carolina. I thought the day would never end. All of my coworkers knew I was having surgery and wouldn’t be back for a week. A few asked me questions, I tried not to think too much about the surgery because I was very nervous about it. My boss left halfway through the day to go pick up some things for the office. I was glad for the small break to mentally regroup to get through the rest of the day. Read the rest of this article and comment on it. »

In my previous two entries I covered how and why we came to decide on tubal reversal surgery. Now I want to talk about my anxiety over tubal ligation reversal.

Tubal Ligation Reversal : My Anxiety

When you are making a life changing choice about anything, there is a certain amount of concern to go along with it. I am an extremely sensitive person by nature- I cry at TV commercials! So to say the whole surgery situation, from deciding to have reversal surgery to getting to Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center was an emotional time for me was putting it mildly. I of course ran the gauntlet of what if’s… what if it doesn’t work, what if I’m making a mistake, and what if I can’t deal with having reversal surgery?

Future Tubal Ligation Reversal Patient Georgia Peach | An Introduction

My name is Tanya (Georgia Peach) and I am a 32-year-old receptionist at a vet clinic. I had my tubes tied in May of 2000, after the birth of my fifth daughter. My doctor at the time had dire predictions of the dangers to my health if I had any more children. Concerns for my health and pressure from my family really pushed me into having a tubal ligation. I had given birth to five healthy daughters. I lost my second born to SIDS in 1995. I reluctantly agreed to a tubal ligation.

In Vitro Fertilization Overview

IVF is a procedure designed to by-pass the natural environment where conception occurs – the fallopian tubes. High dose hormonal medications are given to promote the growth of a large number of eggs. The eggs are then retrieved from the ovaries and fertilized in a laboratory.  After sufficient egg division, the fertilized eggs or zygotes are then transferred into the uterine cavity through the cervical opening. If they implant successfully, then conception has occurred.
