HI, I am 44 and nervous. I only have 1 ovary and 1 tube. I had my TL almost 12 years ago. I can only wait to hear from the surgeon now as to if I am even a candidate for TR since I only have 1 tube and 1 ovary. I am in excellent condition otherwise. Rob is a state trooper and I am a registered nurse, we are in a good place in life and having a child would only make things better. Some people can be really nay sayers when we share our plan to try and have a baby. After Reading all the posts from the other women my age here I feel much better about our choice. Thank you for sharing your stories.

Good luck ladies... its not going to be an easy road. I got pregnant at the drop of a hat before TR - one of the most fertile women I knew. I thought it would be easy again after TR.. but its been over 2 years and I just turned 44 on Wednesday. I have had a multitude of tests that all say both tubes are wide open, everything works and is healthy, and I have clockwork cycles - so no reason why other than age. All I can say is be pro-active and have a doctor you can trust and work with - one that agrees with your decision to TTC over 40 - they can be hard to find.
I'm 49 and just had my tubal reversal on 6/17/2010. My "honey" is 10 years younger than me and doesn't have any children. We so desperately want one! I know what my chances are of getting pregnant, but at least now that I had the TR there's a chance. I pray and leave it all in Gods hands! My advice to "almost 45 and contemplating TR"...go for it! CHRC is awesome!

I had my TR when I was 45, 5/13/09. Just turned 46. No BFP, but much needed relief from PTLS. I just stopped BBT and charting with the beginning of this cycle. Haven't had HSG, but I feel that my tubes are open due to just the changes with PTLS. Not sure if we are going to check tubes due to the fact that I cannot have HSG due to allergic reactions to contast/dye, GYN wants to check by laparoscopy and I don't want that. Would like to have SHG or HyCoSy, but GYN doesn't think that these two procedures are conclussive. Though my FSH was 4 just before TR and had it checked about a month and a half ago it was at 6. All hormones are awesome and GYN says that I am nowhere near "minipaws" (meow). Just going on, no more "trying"...if it happens it happens.

Hi there. I am a 42 year old woman and my husband and I have been married for 8 years (together for 10years). I have 2 children from previous marriage of whom are graduating this year and one is getting married. My husband now is 6 years younger than I and now decided that he for sure wants a child..I am hesitant because my children are grown. I love children..but scared of the risks of motherhood after 40 and the reversal itself. Any help with my frame of mind from anyone would help...Thanks MI Mom

Hi everyone, I am 42 years old and waiting for my tax return next month to schedule a TR. I am nervous and scared, I had my tubes tied right after the birth of my son, 6 years ago. My husband and I discussed the TR and both of us want to proceed. I hope I get pregnant a few months after the reversal. Anyone with positive feedback ? please talk to me. Anyone with a successful pregnancy after TR ?
