My Tubal Ligation Was A Mistake
Thank you Dr. Monteith for our new little blessing!
I made a mistake in 2011 after our 3rd child was born and had my tubes tied… I didn’t think we would want more babies…We decided in 2016 we did want to add to our family, and after doing some research GOD kept leading me to you!
We are forever grateful for you! Thank you Dr. Monteith you make dreams come true ♡♡♡

Correcting A Tubal Ligation Mistake! What is the success rate of tubal reversal?
If you have felt like you made a mistake in having a tubal ligation then tubal ligation reversal can help you correct that mistake.
The success rate of reversal surgery depends on two factors: 1) the age of the woman at the time of reversal surgery and 2) the type of tubal ligation performed.
The younger the patient at the time of surgery then the more chances she has to see success from tubal reversal. We define ‘young’ as being less than 42 years of age…we define ‘older’ as being over the age of 42.

The type of tubal ligation is also important…the more damaging the tubal ligation the lower the success of tubal reversal.
Women who have tubal clips and rings have the highest success rate (80%) and women who have cutting and tying or burning of large amounts of tube have the lowest success rates (50% to 60%).
Correcting A Tubal Ligation Mistake: Is Age A Factor?
Age is a factor to consider when correcting tubal ligation.
As with most things in life, the younger you are when you do something the better off you are…the same is true of reversal surgery.
Most women think that they are too old after age 35. This is not true.
It is harder to become pregnant with increasing age. The ability to become pregnant does decrease with age.
Pregnancy chances being to decrease after age 40 but then decrease more rapidly after age 42.
Dont prolong your decision! Just think of each year as having 12 chances of getting pregnant. Each year you wait to become pregnant you lose 12 chances….and each year after age 42 the 12 chances become less.
Success Rate of tubal reversal based on tubal ligation type
The tubal ligations that do the least amount of damage to the tubes are tubal clips and tubal rings.
Although tubal burning and tying and cutting seem like they are too destructive, if the doctor only burns a small amount or ties, cuts, and removes a small amount then your chances of pregnancy can be very good.
In our experience we can reverse most tubal ligations and provide women with a chance to become naturally pregnant again.
