Please continue to write in with any ideas you have. This really helps us to be able to provide our patients and potential patients with information on topics they are most interested in.

Dr. Monteith has just posted on the Doctors Blog asking for others to add their suggestions on this message thread. The blog topic is entitled Blog Topics Suggested by Patients. Here is a summary:
"We recently asked Tubal Reversal Message Board members to submit ideas for future topics to be addressed in the Doctors Blog.
Here are some of the topics that have been suggested so far:
• Tubal ligation effects on a woman’s body • Tubal ligation risks • Pregnancy outcomes and other issues for older women • Information to help educate other doctors
If you would like to add suggestions for other topics, please post on the Doctor’s Blog Suggestions thread on the Message Board."

I think that is a awesome idea Dr. Berger. So many, if not 99% of doctors are ignorant to fact that there are risks with having a TL. If I had known the risks before hand and could have made an intelligent decision knowing all the pros and cons then I would have never had the TL to begin with. But, I spent 7 months talking with my DR. about the TL with my concerns and worries and he assured me that it would not effect anything except I would not have to worry about BC. I am grateful, if for nothing else that I feel normal again. I am truly grateful for all that you do and I am so happy that Dr. M will be doing these TR's too. We need more Dr.s doing these out there. Blessings, Christie

Thanks, Brenda and Trisha. Dr. Monteith and I will address these issues in future blog topics.
I think that Trisha is right about needing to get the message to other doctors at conferences and public forums. Until now, I have been concentrating on developing our website as the primary way to communicate all of the information we have. In the future, I will plan to devote more time to providing information to doctors through publications in medical journals and presentations at medical conferences.

I know you asked for the girls to let you know the responses their getting when dealing with their Dr.'s about TR but what about a blog that helps us explain to our Dr.'s what they need to know in dealing with us as TR patients that have become pregnant and some of the misconceptions that doctors have about the success rate of TR's with pregnancy. It took me calling 6 different OB doctors offices to finally get someone to take me seriously. I kept referring them to your website. The doctor I did find, sees a TR patient of yours and she is currently 7 months pregnant. She was totally excited to have me as a 2nd TR patient of yours. Dr. Berger, do you do very many public forums or conferences for Dr.'s to attend? I know you have patients from all over the world come to see you and that would be a big audience to try to get your message out to but I don't think many Dr.'s are doing their research on the internet or they just don't know to look for you.

What I would like to see discussed is the effects of TL on a woman's body and how much TR helps to correct these things. My main concern is how much damage is done to the ovaries and can that function be restored. I am very concerned about early menopause, because I am only 36 and not ready for that. I also would like to know exactly what causes sexual dysfunction after TL and if I will get my function back if I get a TR, because right now it almost feels like castration!
