Tubal Reversal Surgery And Getting Pregnant After

Many times after a woman has had tubal reversal surgery there is a small fear that she will not be able to conceive. This is natural and a majority of women do go through this. One of the best things to do even before going through tubal reversal surgery is to know your cycles. Many women know about the time they ovulate but not the exact time in their cycles.

By learning your cycle before tubal reversal surgery you will better know your body. Do not be alarmed if it takes a couple of months for your cycles to return to normal after surgery. Any woman going through tubal reversal surgery needs to keep in mind that this is still surgery and it will take time for your body to return to normal.

By knowing when you ovulate beforehand it is easier to notice the different signs after surgery. Many times there is a pain either on the left or right side right before or during ovulation. Another great thing women do is to begin using the Ovulation Predictor Kits before tubal reversal surgery.

The Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center message board is full of tubal reversal patients who wish they had learned their cycle before tubal reversal surgery. Another great point is not to be disappointed if you do not conceive right away. The average woman only has a 20-25% chance of conceiving each month. A tubal reversal patient that goes by the name of “HeWants2BeADaddy” shared this information with the other tubal reversal women.

For those seeking more information on conceiving after tubal reversal surgery the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center website has videos and a tubal reversal blog for viewing and reading.

CHTRC is the only tubes reversed center that can offer actual pregnancy statistics and not pull figures out of the sky.

Wanting Tubal Reversal Surgery


For those women that want more children after a tubal ligation the big question is are the tubes repairable. When looking into tubal reversal surgery many women do know that their tubes have been “tied” but do not know the exact procedure that has been used.

One of the fears of women looking into tubal reversal surgery is that they will get into the surgery and find out that the fallopian tubes are too damaged to be repaired.

Tubal Ligation Reversal-How Long Until I am Pregnant??

For most women researching tubal ligation reversal there is the number one question. How long does it take to get pregnant after tubal ligation reversal? There is no specific answer or time frame.

The tubal ligation reversal message board on the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center website is full of women asking the same question. But there is no guarantee how long conceiving a baby can take.

Many times after tubal ligation reversal it can take a few weeks or even a couple of months for you cycles to get back to normal. Many times there are tubal ligation reversal patients that fear it may take long because they have short fallopian tubes and many times this is not the case at all.

In the Pregnancy Report 2009 it is proven that tubal ligation reversal has a better pregnant outcome than the alternative of IVF. Not only is the pregnancy rate better but also the cost is much less.

Essure Problems Continue

For the women that have had the Essure and are having problems you are far from alone. So many women are having issues it is getting scary. I have personally spoken to two women in the last few days that want the coils removed.

The sad thing is that these women are being told that they cannot be removed. But they can! Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center has been removing them is great healing time for the Essure Reversal patient. Why do the physicians say that Essure can’t be removed? Could it be they just do not know enough about the product itself? Makes one wonder.

For those women who are contemplating getting the Essure coils put in the fallopian tubes, be sure to do your research. The more time has gone on the more women that are having a problem with this.

Ask the physicians what they do if something goes wrong. Ask what happens if the coils cause pain or if they dislodge from the fallopian tubes.

For those women who have the Essure coils and want them removed it is possible to have this done as a low-cost outpatient procedure. Be sure to check out the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center website. The blog has information and the message board has women that have had the Essure Reversal procedure and can help answer any questions you may have.

The nurses are available for a free phone consultation if you have questions that you need answered. If you know someone that has Essure and wants the coils removed, please pass this along. No woman should have to be in pain when there is an answer to the problem.

Reversing Tubal Ligation

Each year many women have a tubal ligation. But then after it is done they are saddened by the fact that they are not able to have children. Many times the woman did not want the tubal ligation to begin with and are now searching for a way to have it reversed or undone.

Reversing tubal ligation is something that can be done. Many times physicians will tell you that this is not an option and you may have to use IVF in order to have another child. This is because many physicians are not trained in reversing tubal ligations or do not believe it can be successfully performed.

Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center specializes in reversing tubal ligations and the repair of fallopian tubes. Does reversing tubal ligations work so that a woman can get pregnant? The answer is in the Pregnancy Report 2009 located on the CHTRC website. Not only does reversing tubal ligations work for pregnancy, it has a better pregnancy rate than the alternative treatment of IVF.

Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center has a great website as well as nurses that are available to answer any questions you may have on reversing tubal ligation. If you do not wish to speak with a nurse the message board and blog will help answer many questions as well. There are also numerous reversing tubal ligation videos for viewing.

Tubal Reversal Surgery And Beginning Again

Many times women seek out tubal reversal surgery because they are beginning a new phase in life so to speak. Maybe a new relationship is the reason. They are newly married and the new spouse has no children yet and this is one of the greatest gifts.

Tubal reversal surgery is a new beginning and an exciting one at that. The search begins with trying to fond the right tubal reversal surgeon. The next thing is dealing with the cost of tubal reversal surgery. Many women are so determined they will take an extra part time job or go without the extras to get the money saved that much faster.

The surgery date is finally set and tubal reversal surgery day is right around the corner. The message board at the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center website is full of women who have finally scheduled their surgery and are counting down the days. They are full of hope for the new beginning in their lives.

On the tubal reversal blog there are stories of how great friendships are and were formed and how they are now going through the “trying to conceive” journey together.

Then the big day is finally here and a tubal reversal patient gets that positive pregnancy test she has been waiting for. There is nothing quite as exciting as seeing those lines on the EPT and reality finally hitting that the tubal reversal has worked.

Then there is the birth of the long awaited child and the beginning of a family starting over.

Tubes Untied-Reversing Adiana Sterilization

Tubal Reversal Videos Now On MedicalVideos For Viewing

Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center has recently uploaded their tubal reversal videos to MedicalVideos.us. This is to help those who are trying to research information on tubal reversal surgery.

Many times when it comes to researching we read a ton of material and watching the videos can help make things less confusing. Often while relaxing we can just listen and take in information this way.

The great thing about the tubal reversal videos is that it is not just the surgeons speaking it is also the staff and other tubal reversal patients. Many times if you look for a video especially in the medical field you can get a short clip of the doctor speaking but that is it. Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center has taken the time to let the patients tell their stories, which makes it all that much informative for those who are interested in tubal reversal surgery.

Trying To Conceive

Although this sounds super easy is may not always be the case. Many times we think I will do this and then this and then I will be ready to have a baby. Sometimes trying to conceive is what we expected.

We go month to month doing the “Baby Dance” (which will be just bd from here on in. We wait until we are due for our period and oh if it’s late out come the pregnancy tests. We test, it is negative yet again, if we only had a dollar for every time we tested I think we would be rich. This can go on for months on end and we try not to give up hope in this trying to conceive phase in our lives.

The hardest part for many women is the fact that we always seem to run into a million women who are pregnant or have just had a baby. How long were they trying to conceive? Why does it take me so long to get pregnant? The amazing thing is that it seems like women who don’t try are the ones who get pregnant.

Tubal reversal patients are going the same try to conceive mode. They have had their tubal reversals and now they are going month by month just waiting. Sometimes it happens within months other times it may take a year or longer. The tubal reversal message board is full of women in the same “try to conceive” boat.

How do you try to keep your mind off of this? Is it possible? Suggestions welcome!

Tubal Ligation Reversal And Knowing Ovulation

For those who have undergone tubal ligation reversal to have more children after a tubal ligation knowing when you ovulate is very important. Many women are eager to begin to try to conceive and get that positive pregnancy test.

After tubal ligation reversal it takes time for your body to return to normal. It may take a few months for your system to get back to a regular pattern. This was surgery and your body needs time to heal. For those who have been suffering from Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome this is certainly going to be different with those PTLS symptoms finally beginning to go away.

For those who are looking into tubal ligation reversal surgery now is the time to start figuring out when you ovulate. Many patients on the tubal ligation reversal message board have stated that they wish they had done this. It would have saved them confuson and time.

The tubal ligation reversal experts at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center recommend the following ways to know when you are about to ovulate.

  • Use Ovulation Predictor Kits-these kits are very helpful for those who have irregular cycles or their cycles are returning to normal after tubal ligation reversal surgery. These come in different brands and are available at any drugstore usually near the pregnancy tests.
  • Basil Body Temperature-this is a technique in which the body temperature is taken upon rising first thing every morning and then put on a chart. By following the temperature rise and falls a woman is able to tell impending ovulation and when ovulation has occurred. There are websites that are available to help with this a great one is FertilityFriend.com. This is a little harder for some to learn but after a few months you will begin to recognize your body’s rhythm.

After a few months of using these two ways of figuring out when you ovulate you will begin to notice body signs even before you use the OPK. Many times women will have slight pain on one side right before ovulation. Others will have a slight pulling feeling and maybe some mild cramping.

Tubal ligation reversal patients need to remember that it will take time for your body to heal. Once this is complete you are well on your way to that positive pregnancy test.

Why Tubal Ligation Reversal Surgery?



Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center


Dr. Gary Berger: "Again, people will ask why I do this. And why do I do this type of surgery? And I think I like the idea of being able to help people. And help families have children. This is so highly effective and I have been studying this for many years and we have followed up on many thousands of people. I know that I have done the most surgeries of any doctor of this type in the world and with all of this experience and the follow up and to document all that has happened it keeps me very highly motivated to keep working because it is so effective. And again, it’s a little hard to try to explain. If you ask someone, why are you having children? They might find it a little hard to actually explain it because I think it has to do with emotions, concerns and issues that you can’t always necessarily put into words. But we know how meaningful it is or how important it is. So, all of these things make me feel like we are doing here is really truly special and unique and I think if you go around and talk to the rest of the people on the staff you will probably get a very similar outlook. It is very proud, upbeat and what we are doing is really helping people and that is what we are here for."
