momof2n2, Good luck to you. My friend went with me also and my DH stayed home to watch the kids. I also found myself thinking: I wonder why we felt it was necessary to do something so permanent. I am so thankful I have been able to reverse my TL. Rene

Motherbug and Coloradomom... another OMC here!
We've been married 12 years and have four amazing blessings. The day after my youngest was born I had my TL... and I have been pretty much crying ever since. I don't know what we were thinking!! I came up with the idea and DH and I prayed and prayed about it and came away with thinking it was a good idea. WRONG.
Anyway - I am headed down 7/7 for TR. My friend is coming with me. DH is staying home with our kids AND watching her kids as well, during the day.
Oh - I am 37 and had Pomeroy.
ME - 37 DH - 39 DS #1 - almost 9 DS #2 - almost 7 DD #1 - almost 5 DD #2 - 3

I am an emotional person that has no problem expressing it, unfortunately. I wasnt sure how I would feel at the consultation, and I dont put it past me to cry tomorrow.
I did not get emotional during the consult today. I felt comfortable and at ease. Everyone is so nice. My DH had me laughing so hard that I was afraid the staff was going to think we were crazy. I think, though, the more nervous I am about something then the sillier I get.

I was extremely emotional during surgery. It was a happy emotion though...as though I were making things "right" for myself.
NSwint - I had my Reversal surgery July 21st. I am currently 6 1/2 months pregnant with a baby boy. The way that I was able to pay for it was with my company Flexible spending account. See if your company offers the same thing. The other option is the payment plan that Chapel Hill offers. A lot of people go that route.
Good luck to you...our journey's sound about the same.

Rene, LOL - I am an old married person for sure! LOL! We have been married 15 years...so, I would love to post on that board! It is so nice to finally find a place where I can fit in, and not have so many negative remarks like "oh, you are just getting old and experiencing early premenopausal blues" oooh, that makes me so mad to here!! But, I can't believe how many 35 and older woman are here! Wow, this is awesome. We really don't shrivel up and croak at 35 do we??? LOL!

motherbug, I am in the same boat as you. i am still married to my DH for 14 yrs. We have a DD and DS. 11 & 8. I am 38. 39 next month and just got the reversal with Dr. M, on 4/23/09. I wish you the best of luck. We had another board going with OMC (old married couples). I will try to find it and revive it. Rene

Hello! I am also new to this board. I am 38 years old, birthday is September 19th! I have 14 year old son, 11 year old son, and 9 year old daughter. I am still married to the same wonderful husband, and when my last was born I was so sure that I was done (had the boys and a girl...you know things seemed complete) but, I have been regretting the TL since about a year after I had it done. I am finally in a position financially to have a tr, but I am brand spanking new to the process. I have just sent over my medical history and that alone made me emotional...I can just imagine what this will be like! But, I am glad I am not the only 30 something who wants another baby! Nice to meet everyone!

I was not emotional at all at CH. I was scared to death most of the time. The consult wasn't hard, Dr.Berger was very easy to talk to and answered any questions. The day of surgury I was the first one, so I was still pretty tired when we went in. The nurses were awesome, and before I knew it I was wheeled into the room and out like a light! Seemed like a minute later I was waking up and Dr.Berger came around and told me that everything looked great, went great and was optimistic! I didn't have a chance to get teary, he was off changing the next ladies life!
Good thing - I'm not emotional by nature but I may have started crying when he told me that it went so well and had a great chance of conceiving again.
Best of luck, and the nurses are so so sweet I'm sure they have boxes of tissues for all us weepy gals!

*whew* I'm so happy to know I'm not the only one feeling this influx of emotions all at once. We've been talking about the TR seriously for 2 years now, and we've finally got to the point that its coming to fruition. Yay! I find myself reading the boards (almost bordering on obsession) all the time and am continuously surprised and excited about my prospects after reading all the wonderful and inspirational stories of all the ladies that have gone through the same things as myself. Here's a little background on me:
Me:34 (soon to be 35) DH:34 (2nd husband - no children) DD:16 DS:14 DS:12
My TL was done immediately following the birth of my last son, almost 13 years ago (my first husband coerced me into it while in labor and giving birth to him). I think there should be a law in place.. something like 48 hour waiting period before making such a drastic decision. I've had PTLS symptoms from the very beginning but never attributed it to the TL until I started researching the TR. Good luck to everyone!

We have a lot in common ladies '' My birthday Sept 20, and I will be 36 '' I had told my husband that I wanted it done before 36 and it is finally here 8 days left for me '' I am so excited '' My baby is now 14 year old and she start her first year in High School(Going to the Nursing academy) it has been 14 years and 1 day shy of 4 months since I had my tubal ligation done ''
Maria 35 (Florida) D/H 40 (no kids) D/D 19 + 1 grandson 3 soon to be 4 6/14 D/S 17 D/D 14
I know that it is very emotional to go through a tubal reversal. So many of our patients have changed partners or just their minds about having another child. It is great to know that Dr. Berger and Dr. Monteith are able to help so many people!

I am 35 also, 36 next december. I had my tubal in 2000. I have been married, three times. Not that I am proud of that. Two children with my first husband which are DD 16 going on 17 next month, DS 14, and with my second husband I have DD 8. My husband has three children. But we want to try for one more between the two of us.
