Hi Dr. Berger,

Back in 1990, with your help,  I got pregnant. January 20, 1991 my beautiful baby girl was born. Friday, May 22, 2009 she graduated from High School. Thank you so much!!! She’s a fabulous person, inside and out. Can’t imagine my life without her. I am attaching a photo of her at graduation. I hope you remember us, but if not I understand. After all, you deal with lots of patients. I have since divorced and both of us have remarried. I had another child, a boy, who turned 5 January 12, 2009. I was taking birth control pills when I got pregnant. 43 years of age and pregnant!! Life is just full of surprises and it’s great!!!

I remember well all the things you did to help me get pregnant with Candace and I’m very, very grateful!! Thought you would like to see one of your children as she becomes a mature young woman. I also attached a photo of her with my son. One again, thank you so much!!!! Keep in touch, if possible. Have a wonderful day!!

“My 47th birthday was on April 4th and the best present I received was from you. Because of Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center I was able to celebrate my 47th birthday with my 3 month old son.”

Dear Dr. Berger,

My 47th birthday was on April 4th and the best present I received was from you. Because of the work that you and your staff perform at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center, I was able to celebrate my 47th birthday with my 3 month old son, Cole Alexander, who was born on January 6th of this year.

After my tubal ligation in March of 2004, I never thought I would feel the warmth of a small baby’s body on my chest, or kiss daily the fat rosy cheeks and toes of a newborn.

I had my tubal reversal performed on November 12, 2007 and seven months later, I was pregnant with my third child. Cole is a beautiful and healthy baby. While I had complications with my pregnancy, it was totally due to my own health issues and not my age. I had the same problems when I gave birth to my other two children at ages 29 and 41.

I would be honored to have you share my story. I was really inspired to have my tubal reversal even though I was 45 years old primarily because of the wonderful postings I read on your message boards. I read them on a daily basis before my procedure and continued to do so after my surgery. Your Center has the best website regarding this procedure, and more importantly about how women feel about the process, that I have seen.

I sincerely hope that my success story (giving birth 3 months before my 47th birthday) will be a source of inspiration to others. I hope that the women over 40 years old will read it and continue to have faith that miracle can still happen, even after 45.

Sincerely,

Dawne S.
