“I cannot tell you the number of women that I have run into since you did my TR in June 07 that have regretted their TL decision and are completely surprised that the chance to have the tubal ligation reversed exists.”

Dr. Berger, I cannot think of how to thank you enough for the amazing work that you do. On October 16 I delivered a beautiful baby girl. Your extremely gifted hands have allowed my husband and I to grow our family in a way that we thought was never possible again.
I cannot tell you the number of women that I have run into since you did my TR in June 07 that have regretted their TL decision and are completely surprised that the chance to have the tubal ligation reversed exists. In fact just while I was in the hospital once the word got out that our Olivia is a TR baby I had a few extra nurses visit me just to see the proof for themselves and to get your information.
Thank you again for just doing what you do.
Sincerely,
Jennifer M.

More Information on Tubal Ligation Reversed
I’m 32 and had the flilshie clamp used 9 years ago. I recently had endometrosis surgery and we discovered that the clamps have fallen off and left a small gap in between the tubes. Can I still conceive or will I need to have a full reversal? Also, for a couple months I was given a shot for temporary menopause. Is it to late to conceive?
Dora Bonilla – Your ob/gyn has not given you correct information. You can see from the pregnancy statistics of our patients at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center that the chances of getting pregnant after reversal of tubal bands (rings) is over 70%.
I just wanted to know how bad does scar tissue affect my chances for getting pregnant after I get a tubal reversal? My ob/gyn told me that tubal bands causes major scar tissue.
Dora – Here’s where you can see your chances of getting pregnant after tubal reversal – look at table 5 in the age category 30-34 for women with rings. The follow-up statistics on our patients at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center show a pregnancy rate of 76%. This is much higher than the IVF pregnancy rate of about 30% and it costs less to have a tubal reversal than to undergo a single IVF cycle. Once your tubes are repaired, that gives you the chance to get pregnant every month.
I am 32 and had a TL 7 yrs ago but my doctor did not cut them all he did was tie them and put a tubal band on them. My question is that they told me that the bands cause scar tissue and i would be better off if i did Inf. What are my chances?
Dr. Berger, I am a 28 years old woman hoping for another chance to have another baby. I have two boys and they are 14 and 11 years old. I had my tubes tied when my youngest was 5 years old… Now I am with someone that doesn’t have any kids …he loves my kids and is very good to them, but I would like for us to have our own….he is a good guy and at the beginning I was afraid to tell him about my tubes tied, but god helped me and I told him ..he was sad but then we found your website and we are very excited about meeting you and hoping you could help us !!!
Thank you Dr Berger for your advise.
