well said. My prayer has always been one of repentance for not seeking His direction when I had the TL. But I was not a christian then either. It was just a big mistake. Bottom line, my DH and I made that choice. It was a wrong choice no doubt. I pray for God to restore my fertility and bless our family with another child. And with Dr. Berger's help I believe He is going to do it. I will just stand believing..not just for myself but for all the others as well. You are in my prayers

I'm a believer in Christ and God, but not overtly relgious per se. My faith has been tested in many ways over the last two years - so I've stepped back from my church and faith quite a bit.
I've come to believe that life is full of "leaps of faith" big and small. I believe we are given good sense and judgement and it's our will to use them or not. I don't believe a loving God denies good women a baby, nor do I believe God is vengeful and allows terrible things to happen to exact revenge for previous actions. I believe God weeps when we do, He longs and hopes like we do and sometimes he may wave His hand and miracles occur. I don't believe he "actively" intervene at our whims.
Whether it's God, Jesus Christ or simply your gut feelings - Dr.Berger is here to do his best to restore you. I know there are ladies that have been blessed with TR babies within a few months to years later. There are also those here - some I know personally and call them friends - that are still struggling or do not yet have a baby post-TR. This truly is a leap of faith with no "promise" of the end result. You must hold tight to your faith in Dr.Berger, his staff, your own body and family that your outcome will be on the positive side, and Dr.Berger will put you on the path.
Having this surgury is a leap of faith, and going into this procedure confident that you've made a good choice is the best you can do. I feel lucky that my TL doctor didn't do more damage to my tubes, that Dr.Berger was able to restore them and they were still functioning and finally that I eventually got pregnant and had my TR baby. All those events - whether it was divine, luck or both - I'm eternally grateful for and will be for the rest of my life.

It is normal to experience this. But as others have said, God has given Dr. Berger this gift. I messed up by having the TL. So, I decided to fix what wrong I had done. My TR was on 10/8 and I'm so happy I did it. This is our first month TTC so we will see the outcome in a couple of weeks. My first AF since TR was so much better and a baby would be a bonus!

Amy, you are absolutely right. God is using Dr. Berger in such a wonderful way. I truly feel that Dr. Berger's skill and knowledge if a gift from God. I receive that!

We understand what a leap of faith women take when choosing to travel from across the US and from around the world for surgery with a doctor they have never met. For that reason, we do all that we can to provide detailed, accurate information so that couples can feel informed prior to surgery. We are also available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to answer questions or address concerns.
Our entire staff appreciates the fact that you each entrust your fertility to us and we want to make your experience a good one!

tq4jesus, i just read where you said that God has given a barren woman fruit. That is how I will feel if I have reversal and become pregnant again! I am barren..and only God can create a life. Thanks for saying that. What a blessing. I need to just get "myself" out of the way. Surgery should not mean lack of faith because God is still in control of creation!

I want so badly to schedule my reversal soon. I battle with my "faith" or lack thereof. Is there anyone out there that understands me? Do you feel that the reversal was a leap of faith? Did you ever feel that if you had it done you lacked faith that God could do it without surgery? I feel that He is leading me to Dr. Berger and I want to be obedient.
