Tubal Reversal and Taking Care of Yourself

We all know as women that we need to take care of ourselves. Of course, this can be much easier said than done. If you already have children then you understand that just getting a shower can be an all out mission. But, would we trade it for the world? Um, no way. Which is one of the many reasons why we are the ones who are waiting to have tubal reversal surgery.

For those who are about to embark on this adventure known as reversal surgery there are a few things to remember. The first is that this can become a very emotional roller coaster. Just waiting for the surgery can be stressful. After surgery there is the "trying to conceive" phase. Sounds easy? Just wait until it is your turn. Each month that passes by without a positive pregnancy test can cause stress and frustration. It is not uncommon to wonder if the fallopian tubes are back up and in working condition.

While this is all going on it is extremely important to remember to take time for yourself.  Stress levels can build and even begin to cause relationship problems. Here are a few suggestions to help you take better care of yourself while in this wonderful reversal journey.

  • Eat right. When we stress some if us can turn to food. Remember, your body needs to make a good home for a developing baby.
  • Cut out the caffeine. Okay, cut it out as much as possible. 
  • Sleep! Yep, we all hear this one but how many of us actually do it?
  • Take breaks. Take a break and do something that you want to do. Always running and trying to be superwoman may just make getting pregnant take longer.
  • Spend time with your partner. Makes sense....right? But, this is different. We can become consumed with getting pregnant following tubal reversal surgery. The problem is that the actual "act of getting pregnant" is not so natural anymore. Timing everything and giving the order that a "performance" is needed can REALLY kill the mood. Get back to being a couple. This is probably the best medicine I have heard so far.
Research, read and be comfortable with your own body and how it works. The more you know the better your chances of understanding how your reproductive system works. No tubal reversal patient can ever be "over-educated".

Traveling for Tubal Reversal

When a couple decides they are going to have the tubal ligation reversal surgery they want to find the best doctor. Although there may be surgeons close to where they live they know that they need a surgeon with a lot of experience. And they will travel to have the best chances of conceiving after a tubal reversal. It is no secret that the best chances of a successful tubal reversal will come from the surgeons with the most experience.

This is true of one such woman who travelled from Scotland to the United States to have her tubal reversal surgery. On the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center blog a tubal reversal patient named Caroline gives her story. She first researched having her tubal reversal surgery in Scotland and was told that she would need to be cut hip-to-hip and then be out of work for six weeks. She also researched IVF and realized that it was very expensive for just one treatment.

After researching a bit more Caroline knew she wanted a specialty center. And Chapel Hill was the place she wanted to have her surgery done. She still had a concern with the time since her tubal ligation. Her surgery went very well and lasted about 50 minutes. Her fallopian tubes lengths were excellent. After surgery she was discharged to a local hotel. The morning after Caroline was evaluated by a staff member and was doing very well. She was then on her way back home to Scotland.

Caroline’s chances of becoming pregnant after tubal reversal are excellent. Tubal reversal surgery restores hope to those who want children after a tubal ligation.

Recovery Following Tubal Reversal Surgery



One of the biggest questions asked after outpatient tubal reversal surgery is, “When can I resume my normal activities?” In most cases the answer will be when you feel up to it.

But take warning. Your body needs time to heal. What happens many times is after returning back home you are feeling great. You may be a little tired and you may notice some slight pulling here and there. And the bloating will still be there. Problem is you are feeling great and want to do things. Be careful and listen to your body!

One of the biggest mistakes is when you are feeling great and then you begin to push things a little too far. Of course you know that you are not supposed to be lifting anything really heavy. Here we go…just lifting this bag or moving this over won’t hurt. And it usually doesn’t…until later.

Tubal reversal patients at the leading tubal reversal center, Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center, know this routine all too well. And after they have learned there is usually a woman on the tubal reversal message board about to do the same thing. They get home and feel excellent and the day after doing a bit too much feels like they have been run over by a truck. Truth is, this happens many times over.

Because this is a one-hour outpatient procedure many may think it isn’t as “taxing” on the body as a major surgery. Keep in mind that surgery is surgery whether outpatient or major surgery in a hospital. Your body needs the time to be able to heal and get you back to full recovery.

Although Dr. Berger and Dr. Monteith use the most advanced microsurgery methods known, it is still surgery. Lets not forget the stress and nerves that may have lead up to the big surgery day. Your body may also need to recuperate from that too.

You have been through quite an extraordinary journey and now it is time to take just a small break and let your fallopian tubes and muscles heal. The more you allow your body to heal the faster you will be back to your old self!

Has anyone reading this just happen to overdo it right after surgery?

Reverse Essure—Must Be Crazy


The “are you crazy” in the title of this article is there because this is what actually gets said to some women who ask about Essure reversal. And this seems to happen to a majority of them. Are the physicians being heartless? Many want to believe that the physicians may just not care but there may also be another side to the Essure removal story.

Essure is relatively new. Some physicians are just learning the procedure to perform Essure. There have been some problems along the way like when the applicator does not deploy when it should but nothing huge. Being new to the physicians is something that over time will become very common practice.

Because Essure is still considered new not many women have looked into Essure removal. For the amount of women having the procedure there a fewer having the coils removed. Luckily, there are surgeons that have figured out a way to remove Essure and restore fertility. This is the best thing for those who regret having the Essure procedure in the first place.

The procedure is done with what is called a tubouterine implantation. This is where the surgeons remove the fallopian tubes from the uterus and then remove the Essure coils. The healthy part of the fallopian tubes is then reattached to the uterus. After some healing time the couple can then begin trying to conceive.

Pregnancy following Essure Reversal is possible. Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center has proven this and has patients that have had the procedure and are expecting. The patients breathe a sigh of relief when they get the positive pregnancy test. They look forward to having the dream of having a child fulfilled.

If you or someone you know is looking to have the Essure removal there is information available at the leading tubal reversal center website. Not only is there a blog that has stories from women that have had the procedure there is also a very active message board.

To have a free consultation with a tubal reversal nurse please call: 1-919-968-4656.

Having A Baby After Tubal Reversal Surgery

After going through the tubal reversal procedure, the main goal for many couples is to begin to try to have a child. Conceiving can happen very quickly or it can take more time then some realize.

The journey to pregnancy after tubal reversal surgery is one that is filled with excited, anticipation as well as disappointment in some cases. Disappointment can happen monthly, but the key is to not give up.

Having a baby after tubal reversal surgery is a dream that comes true. After months, or even years of planning for surgery and then the date is finally here it seems like it never moves fast enough. Following surgery here is the trying to conceive and with each new cycle the frustration can grow,

Watching others go through the process and getting pregnancy faster than you can also lead to disappointment. Only when you are about to give up does the magic seem to happen. That long awaited positive pregnancy test happens and you can’t believe your eyes.

Even looking at it over and over you still may think it is a dream. And not even pinching yourself will convince you this is real. But it is and the next step is to make sure the baby is settled in your uterus safely.

This is what having a baby after tubal reversal surgery is like for many. It may not be the easiest of journeys but it sure is worth it in the end.

For more information on tubal reversal surgery or to become involved with others that have taken the journey visit the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center website.

Tubal Reversal Success Rate After Surgery

When couples try to decide between IVF and tubal reversal they begin to check the success rates. What is the tubal reversal success rate after surgery?

The answer may surprise you and with the Pregnancy Statistics completed by Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center the answer is a great one.

There are factors that contribute to the tubal reversal success rate after pregnancy. The two main ones are your age and the time of tubal ligation that was performed.

As we get older of course like everything else or eggs are not as young as they used to be. Not that this is the end of the world but it may take longer to conceive. The type of tubal ligation that was performed will determine the amount of healthy fallopian tubes that remains after tubal reversal surgery. The consensus is the longer amount of healthy tubes that remains results in the chance to conceive faster.

Although some women do have shorter tubes such as those on the tubal reversal message board that have formed the group “Tiny Tube Club” do get pregnant and some relatively quick.

For those who are searching for information on tubal reversal success rate after surgery the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center website holds a vast amount of easy to understand information.

The tubal reversal nurses are also available to answer any questions you may have. They can be reached at (919) 968-4656 for a free phone consultation.

Tubes Tied and Wanting A Baby

 

If the title of this sounds all too familiar you are not alone. Although many women choose to have a tubal ligation at some point in their lives many regret it.

Some women were just at a bad time in their lives maybe relationship wise. Others really thought they were done having children and that was he end.

But, as with everything else in life things change. Having your tubes tied and wanting a baby is not all that terrible. There is hope and the answer is tubal reversal.

For those that have no idea what tubal reversal is it is the procedure in which a surgeon actually repairs the fallopian tubes and puts them back together to function as they did before the tubal ligation.

So, what are the chances of getting pregnant after tubal reversal? Actually quite good and proven better than IVF. There are  factors to keep in mind when considering tubal reversal.

Your Age

- the older you are the less egg reserve you have. This may result in taking longer in conceiving and successful pregnancy.

The type of tubal ligation you had

-depending on the damage that was done during he ligation will determine the mount of healthy fallopian tube that will remain after repair.

If you are searching for more information because you have your tubes tied and want a baby please call the tubal reversal nurses for a free phone consultation at (919) 968-4656. The website also has a very active tubal reversal message board for support and friendship.

Best Chances Of Getting Pregnant: Tubal Reversal or IVF?

 

Although there are many women who choose to have a tubal ligation about half of them will regret their decision sometime. What if they decide they want more children? What are the options? And how expense will this be?

Many ask what the best chances are at getting pregnant? Is the answer tubal reversal or IVF? Although there is a very personal decision to made there are major differences.

For those who have researched IVF it is clear that it is very expensive. One round of the treatment can cost up to $10,000 in the United States. And what if the first round doesn’t work?  Unfortunately for many it doesn’t and many times the desire to have a baby can over run the expenses. Many have put themselves so far in debt they have almost or have actually lost their homes.

Then what is are the best chances of getting pregnant? For many the answer is tubal reversal. Not only is tubal reversal less expensive it is more natural.

In a recent study with data collected from over 5000 tubal reversal patients at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center, it is proven that tubal reversal has better pregnancy statistics.

By taking a look at the study that has been published it is quite clear that tubal reversal is the leader in successful pregnancy results.

For those who are interested in having children after a tubal ligation the answer is to do your research. The CHTRC website has a vast amount of information available including but not limited to over 40 tubal reversal videos, a very active message board as well as a blog.

If you have questions the staff is available to answer your questions seven days a week. The chances of getting pregnant after tubal ligation reversal are numerous considering there is a new chance each month!

female-reproductive-organs

 

For those who have found out that the reason they are unable to conceive is due to blocked tubes there is help. It can be very devastating to those couples who have been trying to conceive a child only to find out there is a problem.

Having blocked fallopian tubes is not uncommon. Many times there are no symptoms and only after tests are run can it be detected in many cases. For some there are symptoms which can be unexplained pelvic or abdominal pain.

There are a few reasons why women suffer from blocked tubes some are previous infection, adhesion formation from a previous surgery as well as previous ectopic pregnancy.

The biggest question is can I still get pregnant? Yes, it is very possible to be able to conceive after having blocked tubes. There are very skilled surgeons available. In finding the right surgeon it is very important to find one that specializes in repairing blocked tubes.

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.

Essure Is Reversible With Tubal Surgery

For the many women who have had the Essure procedure and want it reversed there is great news. Essure reversal is being performed at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center and it is a success using tubal surgery techniques.

Jen, a recent patient who underwent tubal surgery for Essure reversal, shares her story on the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Centers blog. Jen called local doctors inquiring about Essure removal and was told it was not reversible and even heard that in order to have the Essure coils removed she would have to have a hysterectomy.

A true story of not giving up hope she searched the Internet and found Dr. Gary Berger of Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center. Not only did he say he could remove Essure through tubal surgery but he personally answered Jen’s emails. During this time Jen joined the message board and asked questions and received answers from previous tubal surgery patients as well as the staff.

As with any type of surgery Jen was nervous and excited at being given the second chance to have a child. Her surgery was on August 26, 2009 and all went well. Unlike stories that are floating around about having short tubes if this surgery is performed her tubes after tubal surgery were not short they are 9 cm on both sides.

Now that Jen has “crossed over” to the other side she will be able to begin the natural process of having another baby. For more information on Essure removal with tubal surgery feel free to call the tubal surgery nurses for a free phone consultation. And stay tuned for part 2 of Jens Essure removal journey.

Tubal Surgery vs. IVF


It is no surprise that numerous women each year have a tubal ligation. Many times they think they have made the final decision and do not want anymore children and it is time to move on from this time in their lives. Then circumstances in life change and may times they have left a bad relationship and want to have another child with a new partner.

When making this decision many women do not know the best answer on how to go about being able to be pregnant and carry another child. Is the best choice tubal surgery or IVF treatment? There is a ton of information to be read on the Internet about IVF but what about tubal surgery? What are the chances that tubal surgery will work?

Dr. Gary Berger of Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center has just releases The Pregnancy Report 2009. This is the largest most comprehensive report on tubal surgery and pregnancy ever released. The wonderful thing is it yet again proves that tubal surgery has a better-proven pregnancy rate than in all areas of IVF in the study of over 5000 women.

Many times there are women who have never even heard of tubal surgery to undo and repair the tubal ligation that was previously performed.

Why do so many couples choose tubal surgery over IVF? There are many answers but as shown in the video above these seem to be the main issues:

Less expensive
Better pregnancy rates
Not having either no children or multiple children all in one shot
More natural
When the couple decides to have child two and on there is no further treatment needed
No fertility drugs involved


Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center has a very user friendly website with a message board and blog. On the message board there are numerous women who discuss how they have tried IVF treatments only to face heartbreak and see money lost. After having tubal surgery they have hope restored and a few are on their second and third tubal surgery babies. There is still hope for women who have had a previous tubal ligation and the dreams of having more children are coming true for many women.

After Tubal Reversal Surgery

Tubal reversal surgery like any other surgery will have an effect on your body. All people heal at a different rate and much of that depends on what kind of shape you are in before the surgery.

The healing rate after surgery can also depend on how your surgery was performed. What is performed in a hospital setting or as an outpatient procedure? Having the tubal reversal surgery performed in the hospital can mean a longer hospital stay as well as more anesthesia. Having the surgery performed at a top rated outpatient center also reduces the risk of hospital acquired infection as well as less anesthesia being used thus leading to a faster healing time.

The top rated outpatient tubal reversal center is Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center. The websites message board is full of women from all over the world.
