Tubal Ligation Reversal With One Good Tube

Tubal ligation reversal is a procedure that couples choose to have fertility restored following a tubal ligation. For some it is due to a new relationship or marriage while for the others the decision is die to just wanting more children. Many times a woman will choose to have her tubes tied because she is not in a good relationship. Once that relationship has ended and she finds herself in a loving relationship she begins to regret what she has done.

Couples go into a tubal ligation reversal procedure understanding that pregnancy is not guaranteed. What they do understand is now they have a better chance due to fertility being restored. The possibility of pregnancy is now there and this is what they want.

As the day of surgery approaches there is a wide variety of emotions coming into play. The couple may be nervous due to the surgery itself and there is often fears that can pertain to the tube length after surgery. One of the things with tubal reversal is that the better length of fallopian tubes you have after surgery the pregnancy success rate is better. It is not uncommon for women to worry about how much healthy fallopian tube she will be left with.

One of the most shocking things is that women will go through the surgery and only have one fallopian tube. Or, she will have the surgery and then experience an ectopic pregnancy and lose one of her tubes due to rupture. At this point the fear of never being able to get pregnant becomes very real.

The good news is that women do get pregnant and go on to have very healthy pregnancies. As a matter of fact many women with only one remaining fallopian tubes will go on to have subsequent children.

Many believe that if there is only one fallopian tube the only way pregnancy is possible is if the woman ovulates from the same side. This is a myth and has been medically proven. The egg can actually float to the other side and go into the fallopian tubes. Many believe that when ovulation takes place it happens from opposite sides each month. A woman can ovulate from the same side as the month before. This not ovulating on opposite sides happens more than we think according to the experts! This is great news for those who are trying to conceive with just one fallopian tube. The chances are very good that conception can occur at any given cycle no matter which side releases the egg.
