Much like Christie, I'm actively trying to have a baby since having my TR in July - but, if I don't end up with one that will (probably) be ok (I'm 34 - so I have some time). But, more than anything I just felt horrible that I'd had TL - totally incomplete. I was only 12 weeks postpartum when I had TR so I can't say I had PTLS - but, I can tell you that I do feel 110% better mentally that Dr. B was able to "put me back together" (rather Humpty dumpty - heh?). I just knew that I'd made a horrible decision that wasn't ever going to be ok - and the surgery was worth every dime for my head to feel good about my body.

Christie So glad to hear all your symptoms are gone. I can't wait for mine to be gone to. We are starting to save for it. Dr. Berger's office hasn't recieved my medical records yet so I'm waiting patiently just to see if I'm a candidate. DH first thought it was a scam for me to have another baby but with me crying, well sobbing that we made a huge mistake I should have never cut what wasn't supposed to be cut. He now understands and is looking forward to me having the surgery. I hope to have it done soon.

I had my TR back in 3/06 due to PTLS ! I was not interested in having another baby. Since the past year has gone I have changed my mind and if I do get a BFP that will be great but, if not then I at least feel 100% better. I have not used any BC but, I have not gotten preg. either. For all I know my tubes could both be blocked. I wont get any test done to see other wise. I have 5 children with my DH and had it because the TL ruined my life for 41/2 years. Dr. Berger is wonderful and he fixed me back to my normal self. I turn 40 in May and will have to think of measures to not get preg. if I have not by then. I personally don;t want to have childern after 40 , that is just me. I hope you can get a TR to get rid of your PTLS...I had every symptom in the book and within 3-4 months post TR they were all gone. Best of wishes to you, Christie TR 3/13/06

Anyone wanting a TR just to feel better and not just to have another baby? I have really bad PTLS and want a TR to feel better. I have 4 children (16yrs, 12yrs,12yrs and 10yrs). Two of each. The idea of having another baby is nice but not the main goal of having a TR. I was just wondering if I was the only one. And what do you do for birth control afterwards? I've done my research on V's for men and don't like what I've read. So what do you do?
