Tubal Ligation Symptoms Before Reversal
Symptoms before reversal: Depression, suicidal thoughts, severe pain on my left side, major cramping two weeks before and during my cycle, extremely heavy bleeding with clots (1 super-plus tampon per hour!!!!) achy feeling throughout my body after a long day (as if my entire body felt bruised to the touch) , extreme irritability, migraines, loss of libido, loss of breast mass and loss of sensitivity to my nipples, pure exhaustion (all the time) , mood swings etc..
Tubal Ligation Symptoms After Reversal
Symptoms after reversal: Although my symptoms haven’t totally dissappeared, they’ve improved greatly! First the symptoms that have improved; mood is much more stable, I’m a lot less irritable, my breast mass has come back (which has been the strangest, but very much appreciated improvement. Lol)
For The most part, I rarely have clots during my cycle and when I do they’re barely there. My flow is light to medium throughout my cycle. My libido has come back, as well as sensitivity to my nipples around ovulation. Next, the symptoms that have totally cleared; that bruised, achy feeling throughout my body has gone, my migraines are a thing of the past, I no longer have a 2 week lead-up to my cycle filled with non-stop irritability and pain…and perhaps the greatest of all is that my suicidal thoughts have absolutely gone away. (I still dont understand it..all I know is that I knew all along that this was not like me..it was such a scary, out of control emotion to have come over me).
A few symptoms that I’m still dealing with are; a light to medium pain on my left side and occasionally my right. I’ve been diagnosed with endometriosis, so I assume this is where this pain is coming from. Like most women, I assume, I still have bouts of irritability and weepiness.
