Posted September 15th, 2009

I never thought I would want more children but after my children were older and I was married the second time, my husband and I wanted a baby. I had my tubes tied after my third child back in 1994. After doing lots of research we decided to use Dr. Berger at Chapel Hill.

I had the tubal reversal surgery in November of 2007. The journey was difficult because we found out that one of my tubes became blocked again after the surgery which reduced the chance of a viable pregnancy. We did not give up hope and in September of 2008 we found out we were expecting.

On May 26, 2009 our little miracle, Josiah David was born. He is a healthy and very happy baby. A special thank-you to Dr. Berger and all of the staff at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal who did such a great job and took such awesome care of us during our time at Chapel Hill.

Dear Dr. Berger,

I had my tubes tied 20 years ago never thinking I would get divorced and meet the man of my dreams, but I did. He didn’t have any kids, and after talking and testing and a surgery from another doctor that wasn’t successful, I found Dr. Berger!!

I had my tubal reversal surgery in December of 2006, got pregnant in February of 2008, and had her on October 28, 2008. I was told that it may take longer because I only have one tube, but it did happen and we owe it all to Dr. Berger. My husband and I are ecstatic that we now have a beautiful baby girl and we are trying for another one right away. This is a picture of our baby girl. Please post the picture and my testimonial on your web site.

I have 2 kids and 4 grandkids with another on the way, and my children are very excited that they will meet their new baby sister in a couple of weeks.

Thank you so very much, Dr. Berger and staff, for making this possible for us.

“I gave birth to my TR baby, Major, on November 20, 2007. Our family is complete and we are still so grateful to Dr. Berger.”

Posted February 6th, 2009

When my husband and I started to have our family, we were faced with many obstacles. After two miscarriages, we were fortunate to have our two daughters, Camryn and Riley, born less than one year apart. After two more miscarriages and a health crisis in the family, we decided to have my tubes “tied”. You forget how quickly the body and heart heal and very soon after the ligation, I regretted it. To make matters worse, I developed PTLS. Every period was agonizing. I started to do research online and found Dr. Berger.

On October 3, 2005, Dr. Berger performed my tubal reversal. We became pregnant 3 months after surgery but unfortunately, we lost the baby at 10 weeks. It took almost another year to get pregnant but when we did – it was a keeper! I gave birth to my TR baby, Major, on November 20, 2007. We now know our family is complete and are still so grateful to Dr. Berger for giving us hope and possibility in 2005 that became a reality with the birth of our son – who is now a very active 15 month old!

“Thank you Dr. Berger for allowing us to complete our family.  The service you provided allowed us to have not one, but two of our children.”

Posted January 30th, 2009

Dear Dr Berger,

My previous testimony (#693) told how we were able to conceive our 4th child, Kylee, thanks to your reversal procedure. I wanted to follow up and tell you how complete our lives have become since my surgery in June 2006.

At the birth of my 3rd daughter, the doctor recommended that I have my tubes tied because I had a very difficult delivery and a uterine abruption. I did so, not thinking that down the road I may regret that decision, or possibly want more children. My husband always wanted a boy, but seemed quite content with the three daughters that God had given us.

As I mentioned in my first testimony – we tried to adopt, but became frustrated with the process. I prayed and prayed that the desire to have more children would go away, or that God would see fit to bring another child into our lives.

One Sunday after church my husband said he had something to tell me. We had someone watch our kids and the two of us went to dinner alone. He told me that during the morning service God spoke to him and told him that we were going to have a son. I said that I was praying to that end as well. He got very serious and said.. “You don’t understand… God told me that WE are going to have a son… not adopt… we are going to have one ourselves.” I laughed so hard the table shook! “How exactly do you plan on doing that?” I said. “I don’t know – all I know is that God spoke to me, and I have something to back it up” – he replied. He pulled out his new Bible his mother had just given him for Christmas and showed it to me. I didn’t understand.. He told me to read the name embossed on the front… I read it… Robert Keith Hunter, III…then it hit me… the retailer made a mistake. My husband is the 2nd, not the 3rd. I couldn’t help but feel like maybe it was a sign, but still doubtful that it would be possible.

That same week I was doing research for a Master’s paper I was working on, and somehow (I’m still not sure how) ended up on the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center site. I read everything I could read and watched the videos. Within 2 hours I had called the Center, and set up my surgery date. I KNEW that God was ordering my footsteps and making a way for us to have the son we had been praying for.

My previous testimony outlined what transpired in those months immediately following my surgery. We became pregnant immediately and had our 4th beautiful daughter in April 2007. We immediately fell in love with her and she brought so much joy to our house.

But my story really just begins here. In March of 2008, just 11 months after the birth of our first “Berger baby”, I found out I was pregnant with our second “Berger baby”.

After 15 weeks of pregnancy, an ultrasound revealed that it was a BOY. I cried right there in the room. After all the prayers and seemingly insignificant decisions… EVERYTHING led to that moment when we found out that our God not only hears but answers prayers.

We delivered our son, Robert Keith Hunter, III “Trevin” a few weeks early, but happy and healthy, on October 20, 2008. He weighed 3lb, 12oz and he looks just like his father.

THANK YOU so much for allowing us to complete our family, and for allowing God to use you to show us that NOTHING is impossible. I will forever be in your debt for the service you provided, that allowed us to have not one, but two of our children.

You are an amazing man, and I truly believe that God has allowed you to be here at this time in history, to fulfill His special purpose, for this generation. You will probably never know the impact that you have had on the world, the country, your city and our family. May God bless you, and may you continue to offer hope to those who have given up hope. It was all worth it!

Lamentations 2:19 says Pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord. Lift your hands toward Him for the life of your young children.

“Had it not been for you and your staff, Garrett would not have completed our family and been our miracle.”

Posted July 6, 2008

My family is truly grateful for the gift that you have given to us. At the age of 22, we decided that two kids were enough and I had my tubes tied. Four years later to the day, I began to regret that choice. My husband was in Iraq and he called home when I decided to spring the news to him that I wanted another baby. He was a bit puzzled, but did not hesitate to agree. We searched the Web far and wide until I heard about you through someone I knew. She had two TR babies because of you. I just knew that you were my answer.

One month after making that choice, on March 9, 2007, I was there in your office with my husband still in Iraq, to get all “fixed” up. Upon his return we started trying to conceive. I was pregnant instantly; however, that ended in a tubal. I lost my right tube and was disheartened. But I did not give up. We tried again. I had a miscarriage. We kept trying – never giving up. On September 3, 2007, I got my third and FINAL BFP. I began the pregnancy cautiously optimistic. This was my sticky bean I had been waiting for.

April 19, 2008, Garrett Conner was born at 36 weeks – 5 lbs and 9 ozs, 21 inches long. He is a healthy, beautiful little boy who’s growing like a weed.

Had it not been for you and your staff, he would not have completed our family and been our miracle.

THANK YOU FROM OUR FAMILY TO YOURS AT CHAPEL HILL,

“Our second tubal reversal baby was born yesterday.”

Posted June 23rd, 2008

Subject: Birth report

Our second tubal reversal baby was born yesterday. He is healthy, and weighed 7 lbs, 8 oz, and measured 20″ long. A little recap: I had the reversal at 39, had a healthy baby girl at 40 and a healthy baby boy at 44 1/2.

I am sure that my experience will give hope to other women. I feel compelled to tell people who comment about my babies what I went through to get them, often to their disbelief.

Even doctors have marveled about me having two kids in my forties after having my tubes tied then untied. Here is a picture of my babies:

“I told my testimony at church and to anyone else who would listen to me about Dr Berger and how the Lord took me to Chapel Hill.”

Posted April 2nd, 2008

In June, 2005 I delivered what I thought was my last baby girl. That would make 3 girls to be exact! I thought my family was complete. My husband and I had had some rocky roads, as any couple may experience, and I was through having babies. I had my tubes tied immediately after my c-section, because I KNEW I wasn’t going to have any more children. I didn’t want any more children. I didn’t tell my husband, I just signed the consent form from my OBGYN and it was done. I had a wonderful summer with my new baby and 2 little girls at the pool and beach. I went back to work in September, full force, as a Registered Nurse Administrator of a huge 35 chair dialysis clinic, and an Acute Hospital Based Dialysis Program. I drove an hour to work everyday and put my whole heart and life into work for about a year.

It was September 2006 that I ended up in a nearby Emergency Room, in anaphylactic shock and scared myself almost to death. I remember having this feeling that life is so short, and recognizing that I really needed to better balance my life with work and my family. My husband and I began really bonding closer together, drawing closer to the Lord as well, and really started enjoying each other and our 3 precious daughters. I remember having feelings of wanting another child, but knew deep inside that it would never happen again, because my tubes had been tied. Oh, how I longed for another child and had this empty, dark, feeling that it would never happen again. I was scared to tell my husband that I had had my tubes tied, but I was convicted to do so. When I did, he said that he had been praying for another child, but I hadn’t become pregnant. Wow, it’s amazing how God can change your heart and desires, and you not even know what is going on.

I remember driving to work one winter morning about 2 months after my episode in the ER, November 2006, and I couldn’t hardly wait to get there to get on my computer and look up Tubal Reversal. I knew my OBGYN had told me in the past that getting my tubes tide was a DONE DEAL. Little did I know that Dr Berger and his team of wonderful professionals existed. My internet search took me directly to his website, and I read every page from top to bottom, and printed off all of the sheets and took them home and reread everything over again. I prayed and prayed like I had never before. I remember the spirit force that kept drawing me to this website everyday for nearly 3 weeks. I was hooked. I was so excited thinking that there might be a possibility of having another baby that I thought I would never want, nor have.

I called my mother and told her, thinking that she would think I was crazy. Being the spirit-led mother that she is, she said, “I knew that you were going to have another baby”. She didn’t know how, but she had had visions that I would have another child. I told my husband and he was so excited and told me to go for it.

I started the process and gathered everything Dr Berger needed and began corresponding with one of his many wonderful nurses online. What only took a few weeks seemed like an eternity, because I was eagerly wanting to get pregnant by now. I knew I was no spring chicken and I felt like time was ticking.

On February 16th, 2007, I had my tubal reversal surgery scheduled. The team that works with Dr Berger is ONE OF A KIND. You just don’t get that quality of care and have that nice/clean/quiet environment that I was exposed to at his office. I was so nervous, coming from a nursing background. I knew what all of the cons could be to having any kind of surgery, let alone, one that was elective. Of course, insurance wouldn’t pay for it, which I hope one day that it will, so I took my MasterCard and headed off to Chapel Hill with my mother. My husband stayed back at home with the other 3 children. I just can’t say enough of how great an experience the entire trip was. I really did experience some type of spirit or serene feeling that I had been there before. It’s hard to describe, but it makes me want to have the whole experience again.

Anyways, Sarah was my nurse that I had after my surgery. I remember thinking, I sure wish I could work somewhere like this everyday. She was glowing and you could tell that she loved her job as well as her patients. When I went in to speak with Dr Berger, I felt like I needed to explain why I was there. He had such a peace about him that made you just want to hug him and just spill your guts out to him. Am I ever so grateful and thankful for him and his entire team.

Well, after the speedy recovery, I headed home to get pregnant, and indeed I did. My last menstrual cycle was on March 27th, and I delivered a healthy Baby Boy – James Preston III – the same year on December 21st, 2007. The pregnancy was a rocky road full of unwanted news of dreadful tests and possible birth defects. Oh, how good is our God. I remained faithful and had the saying written at the end of my email address that read “Faith is believing in something when common sense tells you not to.” Boy, was I stepping our in faith. I did grow stronger in the Lord as well as stronger to my husband during these more trying times than I thought I could bear. How could our Good Lord bring me to have a tubal reversal and give me an unhealthy child, or possibly a child that wouldn’t live. Like I said, it was such a rocky road, but ended so sweet.

I told my testimony at church and to anyone else who would listen to me about Dr Berger and how the Lord took me to Chapel Hill, and I remained faithful even in the lowest of times. I had everyone praying for me…..

There is so much that I have left out of this testimony but the most important thing that I can express is that first, Our God is Good, and second Dr Berger and his team have got to have the best job in the whole wide world. I would be so honored to work there to help all of these families that come from all over the world to have this tubal reversal procedure done. It is such a miracle!!!!! I can’t wait to tell my baby boy HIS story one day. He has 3 little mamas to take care of him and again we want to say THANK YOU.

“I thought I would never give birth to my own child again. Today I’m looking at my 5 week old baby.”

Posted March 20th, 2008

Here’ s my story…. I’m 28 year old and was divorced in 2004 with 3 kids and my tubes tied. I thought I would never meet anyone again and knew I would never give birth to my own child again.

In early 2006 I met the man who made all my dreams come true except one, and that was the dream to hold a piece of him and me. He was also the same age but never had kids.

I wanted so badly to have another baby and he said “go get your tubes untied”. Well, NEVER did I ever expect a doctor to do something like that! Married and ready to have another baby, I found the doctor of my dreams. We went to Dr. Berger and met him and his wonderful staff, who really care for you!

I had my tubal reversal surgery on March 15, 2007. The nurses were wonderful and Dr. Berger was great. My tubes were 7.5 & 6.5 in length after the surgery, and I remember Dr. Berger looking at me with his nice smile and saying “YOU WILL GET PREGNANT SOON”. I thought – yea right, that’s what he gets paid to say.

Today is March 20, 2008 and I’m looking at my 5 week old baby wondering how I can ever thank Dr Berger. I’m Amber and If you would ever like to chat or have any questions please email me.

Thank you,
