Hi, I have 3 kids aged 22, 20 and 17. I had TL in spring 2005 but following bereavement met my new husband who at 32 had no kids of his own. I had my TR in feb 08 aged 40. My lengths were 9.5 I think. After having been told by our own beloved British doctors that I was hitting menopause and IVF was the only chance, we gave up trying ... and 2nd cycle after giving up I finally fell pregnant ( had a couple of v early losses along the way) So it took us 14 months. Im now 29 weeks pregnant and my first grandchild is due 7 weeks after this precious little one! Best of luck , , Morna

my lenghts were 6 or 7, I cant remember the right lenghts but I know it was 6 or 7 and they were the same on both sides. One just had .5 more. So it was 6.5 or 7.5. As of FEB of this year I lost my left tube due to it in my tubes. The way I see it is as long as you have a open tube you will always have a chance even if it takes a little longer. I got PG with my one tube just a month after I lost my left tube. I wish you the best and I send you lots of baby dust

nymomofeight and khadija, I was wondering what your tube lengths are. I'm 38 almost 39 and just had the reversal done in Oct. We haven't even started trying yet but I feel inspired by both of you being around my age and getting pregnant with some ease. I have short tubes and plan on just letting things happen. I know when I "O" and plan on just going with the flow. I've read all the statistics but still like to know the personal experiances of others. thanks

nymomofeight , I just wanted to say that you are ahead of me. I was just asking the other day who was the one with the most TR babies. Im now PG with #5 but one was in my tubes so I have 3. #4 is due in FEB, im now 25 weeks. You have your hamds full. I have a 1, 2 and 3 year old so I know how you feel. Glad to see you just had one 7 weeks ago. They are so small and sweet at this age. Hope you are getting enough sleep. I wish you and the rest of the ladies the very best. Khadija

I'm also in perfect health no triathlon but very active I race motor cross.I have a 12 and 13 year old no problem getting pregnant with them. My TR went great left tube 5.5 and right 5 7 months later i'm still waiting on my blessing .I know it will happen and i'm not trying to discourage you. CHTRC is a wonderful place and so many beautiful babies are able to be born because of Dr.B and Dr.M .I just don't want you to think it happens in the first 3 months for everyone But ,does happen! Wishing you the best of luck and lots of baby dust ! Michelle

Although the natural fertility rate does decline as we age, as long as menstruation is still occurring, there is no specific age limit to having the reverse tubal ligation. A serum FSH test is useful to determine the status of a woman's ovarian reservoir of remaining eggs. In a follow-up study of more than 1500 patients who had tubal reversal surgery with Dr. Berger and Dr. Monteith , in pregnancy data for women who underwent tubal reversal during the period from January 2006 to July 2007, approximately 50% of the women became pregnancy and had their fertility restored after a previous tubal ligation. Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center is the only facility in the country dedicated solely to procedure of tubal reversal surgery.
Welcome to the message board! Please go to our pregnancy statistics so you can see our pregnancy rate based on your age and Hulka clips! We are excited to work with you!
