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.
