This is the third article in a blog series dedicated to women over the age of 40 with tied tubes and who are considering alternatives to become pregnant. This article provides a brief overview of adoption. We discuss the benefits and some of the risks of the adoptive process. Readers are encouraged to leave comments on the Tubal Reversal Blog and/or the Tubal Reversal Message Board.
This article on the Tubal Reversal Blog from A Personal Choice discusses the impact of age upon pregnancy or infertility. Dr. Charles Monteith discusses his experiences practicing high risk obstetrics and the concept of advanced maternal age.
The tubal reversal doctors at A Personal Choice introduce Part 1 of a series of blog articles about the concerns of women over the age of 40 who are considering pregnancy, options for becoming pregnant, and tubal ligation reversal surgery. This series of articles will discuss adoption, in vitro fertilizaiton (IVF), and tubal ligation reversal. Statistical data and patient submitted stories will also be presented during this series.
Susan is an international patient who travels to A Personal Choice from Dubai, United Arab Emirates for tubal reversal surgery. A critical aspect of Susan’s surgery is she has only one remaining ovary with an unusual cyst. We describe Susan’s past, the critical nature of her tubal reversal surgery, and the successful salvage of her only ovary.
After discovering that IVF is not allowed for unmarried couples in the state of Arkansas, Cyndi traveled to Oklahoma for IVF but did not become pregnant. She then had a successful reversal of tubal ligation at A Personal Choice.
A A Personal Choice patient, Cyndi, describes to Dr. Monteith how she was trapped in an abusive marriage and had a tubal ligation. After divorcing and meeting her current partner, Steven, she wanted to have another child with him. She then describes being talked out of tubal ligation reversal and into IVF by an infertility specialist, only to discover that IVF is illegal for unmarried couples in the state of Arkansas.
The tubal reversal doctors at A Personal Choice perform tubal surgery as an alternative to in vitro fertilization (IVF) for treating infertility as well as for reversing sterilization. The advantages of tubal surgery compared with IVF are its higher pregnancy rate, lower cost, and the ability to become pregnant naturally and more than one time if so desired.
Dorinda, a 27 year-old tubal reversal patient from Rock Hill S.C., was able to afford reversal of tubal ligation because of the generosity of her dying father. This blog describes the concerns of the Tubal Ligation Reversal Doctors at A Personal Choice as they review her operative report and have fears about Dorinda having unrepairable fallopian tubes. Putting her trust in God’s hands, Dorinda’s blocked tubes were able to be repaired successfully.
The techniques of tubal reversal surgery that Dr. Berger and Dr. Monteith perform every day are the same techniques used to repair blocked tubes due to tubal disease. Although our practice name (A Personal Choice) and website (www.tubal-reversal.net) clearly indicate our primary interest, many women with blocked tubes caused by tubal disease, rather than surgical sterilization, find their way here for help in correcting their tubal blockage and becoming able to have children.
