Hi everyone. My name is Kate and I had my TL in 2004 after my second son...I regreted it from that day. I would like to get a TR but Im kind of sceptical about it. My doctor said because they were burned, cut, and tied that it was probably not likely to have them repaired. She actually refered me to an Invitro dr....anyway, Im just checking out my options right now and I came across this site....I guess we'll see. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I had that procedure Kate, and ended up with tubes of okay lengths! Dr. B is the best! I just had TR in November, so I can't report a BFP yet, but I'm hoping! Good luck in your decision- Traci

Kate, Send your operative reports to Dr.B and you will be able to find out if you are a good candidate for surgery.The type of TL that you have had has a lot of successful pregnancies.(on the weekly pregnancy lists) The great thing about TR is that you can try every month without the expense of IVF.

Kate I hope you all the best. My doctor told me about going to Dr. Berger for my TR because of the way he did my TL. So look into everything before you say a door is closed. Dr.Berger said that he could do my TR so now we are working to getting on done in March of 2008.

Hi Kate, I had the same thing done (called a modified pomeroy). I got a BFP two months after TR but it ended in miscarriage at 10 weeks due to chromosomal abnormality. I have had a long year since then and haven't been able to try the whole time, but I am currently 5 weeks pregnant as of tomorrow. I ended up with 7cm on each side. Dr. Berger is very good at what he does. I would rather know I have a shot each and every month than pay $10,000 for a gamble per month, not to mention the toll on your body from all the fertility drugs and trauma to your ovaries. God Bless and good luck!

Hello again,
I have a second question.....I have not cycled in 7 months ( my TL was in 2004) and Im wondering if this would affect my chances of a successful TR or if this is even something to worry about. My gyn dr say that it is just from stress....trust me, I have a 3 yr old and a 4 yr old but I am not that stressed....what does everyone else think about this? She wanted to give me Depo to make my body cycle but I refused....any comments?

Posted by in-Gods-hands (Member # 11795) on December 29, 2007 09:27 PM :
After my TL my cycle messed all up. It has not been normal after the TL. I did the shot no help and then did pills for away and still no help. Could be stress that does happen but the foods you are eating could too. If you are not taking in everything your body needs your cycle could stop. Pray about it and hang in there cause some times it helps to know your not alone. I went all most 7 months was the longs for me.

Hi! My cycle has been all off whack since my TL, too. I have more painful periods now than ever before. I am hoping that things will even out once I have my TR. I have heard wonderful things about Dr. Berger and his staff. If anyone can give you a chance, it will be them!!

cf4063...Im with you there! I think Im going to bust waiting for next year to roll around.(Im planning on Feb of 09) I have to wait a whole year.....I guess it will be well worth the wait thought , right? I think the hardest part is going to be losing the weight....I need to lose about 30 lbs ( Im going a little more than they recommend because I want to be sure that my BMI is going to be where its supposed to be.) Im so excited already that I think Im driving everyone insane!Its all I seem to be talking about lately. I just talked my best friend out of a TL after her c-sec in May...I told her that she would be making a big mistake. Anyway, Im sorry about the long post but I feel chatty today......Hang in there ladies...It will be our time before you know it!

I feel like that is all I think about anymore also- I talk my husbands ears off about it and I am constantly on this message board or looking up information online... haha
I am hoping to schedule in March or April as soon as we get the remainder of the money and I lose the weight I need to lose to be below BMI. I have about 20lbs to lose... Good Luck!

stephcave, Having tubal reversal surgery is very exciting. I just wanted to wish you good luck on loosing weight. I know it is hard but you can do it. We have many patients just like you who over come this kind of goal. We look forward to having you as a patient soon. If I can help you set a date please let me know!

Hello all, my name is Tessa and I had my BTL 1996 after the third child. I just turned 35 in November and I am planning to have my TR on the 22nd or 24th. I had my blood work done today and I am excited about the surgery. All I think about is being able to have another baby. I do not sleep well at night because it is always lingering in the back of my mind. My operative report stated that my doctor removed less than 2cm with my BTL and the patient care coordinator said it was probably less than that because they tie them prior to removing. I guess this is a good thing. Being a RN, I just pray for a successful surgery and pregnancy for myself and everyone else.

It was a day for me to hear from them. I had sent an e-mail telling them when it was going ot be faxed so they were looking for it.

Hi Kate, I had my BTL in 1996, the same as yours, and i was told less than 2cm was removed. They actually said it was probably less than that. I am planning for my TR on the 22nd or 24th of this month...wish you well with your decision. I was also told mine was irreversible but apparently not.

Posted by Patiently waiting (Member # 11777) on January 09, 2008 10:42 PM :
Hi nursejones72, I think you meant Tessa with that last comment...I had my TL in 2004, but thank you for your encouraging words. Its good to know that there's hope
