Those that belong to the tubal reversal group check in regularly to make sure all is well with their extended tubal reversal families.

Facebook is a great platform for those researching the procedure as well. The group page has videos and a message area as well as links to important information concerning the procedure. With social networking has come a way for couples to spread the news about just how well the procedure works to restore hope to those who thought they would never be able to have children again naturally.

Social networking sites as Facebook, YouTube and Twitter are becoming an important part of everyday life and are making finding information much easier. Before social networking many would have to research on the Internet through various resources such as tubal reversal press releases.

Tubes Tied and Regret Having the Procedure

There are millions of women each year that have their tubes tied. Many are happy with the decision and their lives go on. But there are also a certain number of women that regret the decision of having their tubes tied or what is called a tubal ligation and want it repaired or reversed.

Why do women regret something that they had made the decision to do? There are a number of reasons but the two most well known are because they want to have another child and Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome.

Wanting to have another child after a tubal ligation is not unheard of. Many marriages end in divorce and many will remarry. Often, the new husband has no children of his own. And the wife wants to be able to have a child with him.

The next most common reason why women regret having their tubes tied is because they are suffering from what is known as Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome. Although not widely recognized in the medical field, it takes its toll on those that suffer with it. From mood swings to losing their hair to pain that is debilitating women seek relief.

Those that have tried to receive help when dealing with PTLS do find help but it is usually through tubal ligation reversal surgery. Many are angry that they were not warned of this before having the ligation.

For those regretting having a ligation and wanting another child there are choices available. The first that is usually offered as an option is IVF or in vitro fertilization. This procedure does work but the chances of it working on the first treatment are very slim. This procedure is usually very expensive and many cannot afford the multiple treatments it takes to gain a successful pregnancy.

The second option is tubal reversal surgery. Not only is this procedure less expensive it is much more natural. There are no drugs involved and the couple has a chance of conceiving each month. If the couple chooses to have another child after the first tubal reversal baby there are no need for any treatments.

The great thing about ligation reversal surgery is the fact that the pregnancy success rate is better than with the alternative treatment of IVF. The cost of surgery at the leading center is under $7000.00, proven less than one treatment of IVF.

When considering a reversal surgery, be sure to choose a surgeon that is experienced in this type of surgery. The experience of the doctor could make the difference in whether the woman is able to conceive or not. By locating a surgeon that performs just this type of surgery the chances of successful pregnancy are better.

Having your tubes tied does not mean that you will never be able to have a child again or that you will have to suffer with PTLS for the rest of your life.
