Tubal Reversal or IVF is the Question for Many

Couples that are thinking about having a child after a tubal ligation will often ask if a tubal reversal is a better choice over IVF. Which one will help them have a baby faster and what is the cost of the treatments?

There are factors involved when trying to make the choice. Price, of course, is a huge concern especially in this economy. The price of IVF can be overwhelming for many couples and often leads to loans that have to be paid back. If the first treatment does not work then it is back for more treatments. This is not to say that IVF isn’t the better choice for some women. If the fallopian tubes are too damaged then the tubal reversal surgeon will not be able to repair them. Another factor is the woman’s age. Age affects the women’s eggs. As we get older the egg quality as well as quantity diminishes. Male factors must also be taken into consideration. If a low sperm count is present then this will also affect the pregnancy success rate.

Tubal ligation reversal may be a better option for those couples that do not have any known fertility issues. This is a much more natural way to conceive and there is a chance of conceiving each cycle. For those who would like more than one child after a reversal there is no treatment needed. The cost of tubal reversal surgery at this time at the leading tubal reversal center is $5900.00. This is far less expensive than the alternative of IVF. Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center answers the question of what is the chance of becoming pregnant after tubal reversal? At Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center it stands at 70%. Two-thirds of patients become pregnant in the first year following surgery. This percentage rate alone proves just how successful having ones tubes reversed can be.

Desiring a child after a tubal ligation is serious. The more informed a couple is the better they are able to make their decision. IVF or tubal reversals are both options for couples desiring a child after tubal ligation.

For more information of tubal ligation reversal a free consultation with tubal reversal nurses is available by calling 1-919-968-4656. Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center also has an extensive website located at http://www.tubal-reversal.net.

Tubal Ligation Reversal and Your Cycle

Photographer Atte Niittylä


One of the biggest things for a woman is trying to figure out her cycles after a tubal ligation reversal. They will begin to worry that they are not ovulating because their periods are not regular. First, it may take a couple of months for your period to get back to “normal”. Now when stating “normal” even that “normal” may change. Those who were suffering with Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome will consider their periods after tubal reversal better which was not normal for them. Normal meant heavy bleeding and cramping and being plain miserable.

On the opposite side of the spectrum are those who have periods that are irregular for a while following surgery. They may have a short cycle and then a longer cycle. Then they will see where their cycles will become regular again.

When wanting to get pregnant as soon as possible after tubal surgery there are a few things that can be done. The first is to purchase and use ovulation predictor kits or OPK’s. There are a few brands and you will probably have to try a few to see which ones you like the best. Once you know which ones you want to use there are websites where they can be purchased cheaper and in bulk. The patients on the tubal reversal message board are very good at giving their opinions as to which ones are best and/or easy to use and read.

Another method that women use is the BBT (basal body temperature) method. Taking your temperature at the same time everyday when waking up is how the basal temperature is recorded. Although it may seem a bit confusing at first it will only take a bit to catch on. This method is quite reliable and many use this along with the OPK’s until they get the swing of things.

Those patients that have had their surgery will tell the ladies who are waiting for the surgery to begin finding where in their cycle ovulation takes place. The reason for doing this before surgery is so that you will be better in tune with your body’s signals after the tubal reversal surgery. You will have some idea of the changes that take place when ovulation is pending as well as when ovulation has taken place.

Many find it amazing that they never picked up on the changes that their bodies go through each and every month. The human body is quite amazing.

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.

For more information on one tube following tubal reversal visit the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center website. This site offers information on every aspect of tubal reversal. Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center is the only center in the world to collect data on all of their patients and produced the Tubal Reversal Pregnancy Report 2009. Not only is the largest study completed on the pregnancy success rates following reversal it is being used by other tubal reversal surgeons as a guide to quote to those interested in reversal surgery.

Essure Reversal With Pregnancy Following

Although many in the medical field will state that Essure reversal is not possible without a hysterectomy this is not true. The leading tubal ligation reversal center has proven otherwise. With expert skill the surgeons are reversing the Essure procedure and with successful pregnancy following.

There are a number of reasons that women are inquiring about having the Essure reversed. One of the main reasons is due to regret. Women that thought they were done having children later regret their decision and want it reversed. The next most popular reason is that they are having adverse symptoms associated with the Essure coils.

Many women are told that they only way to have the Essure coils removed are by having a hysterectomy. As anyone can imagine, receiving the news about having to have a hysterectomy when wanting to have a child can be devastating. Only when the woman realizes she can have the Essure removal and her fertility restored is she optimistic.

Dr. Gary Berger and Dr. Charles Monteith have not only successfully reversed the Essure but the patients are also able to conceive. For those who chose to have the Essure reversal in order to have another child this restores hope.

The surgeons at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center use a procedure called tubouterine implantation. This procedure consists of removing the fallopian tubes from the uterus. The Essure coils as well as any scar tissue that has formed is removed. The healthy remaining fallopian tube segments are then reattached to the uterus. This then allows pregnancy to occur.

Couples from around the world are traveling to have the surgeons at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center reverse their Essure procedure. Noted as the leader in the field of tubal reversal surgery this is the only center to keep accurate statistics on tubal reversal pregnancy success rate. This study was conducted with over 5000 tubal reversal patients. The Tubal Reversal Pregnancy Report 2009 has been used both by the medical community and those researching the success if the treatment. Two-thirds of Dr. Berger’s patients become pregnant in the first year following surgery.

Choosing Where To Have Tubal Reversal Surgery


Making the choice to have tubal reversal surgery is not always the easiest endeavor that many think. Most people are under the impression that it is as easy as just pick a surgeon and pay the fees and you are good to go. This is not usually the case and many that have jumped through the decision making process have regretted it.

When choosing where to have tubal reversal surgery there are many factors involved. Is the surgery performed as an outpatient procedure? What is the actual experience of the surgeon performing the surgery? What is the cost involved and is it comparable to other surgeon’s fees? And what are the pregnancy statistics for these surgeons’ patients?

There is much research that needs to be put into choosing the right place to have your tubal reversal surgery. Many take years to finally make up their minds and in the end they have a sense of peace about the final decision and know they have made the right choice.

On the tubal reversal surgery message board women will write and explain how they came to the final decision and compare their research techniques to others. It comes at quite a surprise that some would use a message board forum to help in their research but it does make sense to use this tool.

When choosing where to have the surgery it helps to know how many came to this decision as well as how many patients are giving advice and keeping up with the conversation even after surgery. Knowing how patients feel about where they chose to have surgery is certainly one of the best resources possible.

For more information, Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center is the leading tubal reversal center. The tubal reversal nurses can be reached seven days a week and answer any questions you may have.

Tubal Reversal and Intuition Taking Over

Courtesy of Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center


As I sat reading the message board I landed on one of the most interesting tubal reversal surgery discussions I have read yet. That “gut” feeling of knowing when you have just conceived.

One of the most amazing things is just how many women “know” that they have just conceived. Is it a feeling? Is it their minds telling them this? This is no logical answer and many some it up to intuition. And this intuition happens to many more women than you may think.

But what happens after tubal reversal surgery and you desperately want to conceive that baby you have waited so long for? Because you are trying to conceive and working so hard at it and stressing out will the feeling still be there to let you know? This is a question many are asking on the tubal reversal message board.

It is no secret that Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center has the best surgeons and staff when it comes to tubal reversal. The Tubal Reversal Pregnancy Report 2009 and reading the Patient Satisfaction Reports as well as the Tubal Reversal Press Releases more than tell us the great success rates that are taking place. But, when does someone rely on their intuition and not second-guess herself? For many we will never know the answer.

It is amazing how the human body works even in the tubal reversal journey.

What Is Tubal Ligation Reversal?

The question of “What is Tubal Ligation Reversal?” comes up in conversation when a woman is letting friends know about the upcoming surgery or that she wants more children. Many times women do not know the term “tubal ligation” they know it as “tubes tied” which is more commonly known.

For many women who have chosen to have a tubal ligation reversal the decision to tell others can be a tough one. For many, their children are older and they have desired another child for a while and the final decision has been made to go through the tubal ligation reversal surgery. But, sometimes when the woman chooses to tell others she may not get the response she expected. Many times she is given responses that are not nice at all such as, “Are you crazy, why would anyone start over?” Making the decision to tell others can be a tough one but the main point is to remember that you and your spouse make the decision and you two are the ones dealing with it.

There are tubal ligation reversal message boards all over the Internet and one of the best ones that is very active is the one located on Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center’s website. There are many women that have been through this and have discussed it with each other for the support that is sometimes needed.

When explaining that you are having a tubal ligation reversal just explain that you and your spouse have decided that you want another child and a lot of thought has gone into it. Though comments are welcomed, personal opinions may not always be what you expect. Sometimes even loved ones can say things that they do not mean without thinking about it first.

Another thing that many women who are having tubal ligation reversal so is keep it quiet until they get the positive pregnancy test and follow the Early Pregnancy Protocol and know the baby is snug in the uterus. Only then do they tell everyone that they have had a tubal ligation reversal.
