I wanted to say that I had severe pain almost every month around AF time. I had my TR done April 16, 2002 and it's all gone. I had a TL for 10 years and it was horrible. I now have a baby since TR however it would have also been worth it just to be out of pain. I do have to say I have a left blocked tube, not due to surgery but due to adhesions over there. And it is constantly in pain. Either I'm going to have to have it removed or opened up. But I have been preggo 3 times since TR first one was a success and he is a beautiful 17 month old vibrant little boy who just messes in everything but he truely changed my family. I have nothing bad at all to say about this experience except that after TR it's hard when you don't get preggo immediately, like the next month. However I did 4 months after TR. God Bless you ladies with your decision and I hope the best for you. Kimberly

I had my TL 1997 ...I have had migrains cramps back aches, more infections...Urinary tract, yeast etc... I am sorry but I think some DRs dont know what they are talking about and I believe someday they will come back and say yes there is such a thing as PTLS. I just think to many women have to many problems after a TL. I am also more moody and depressed at times I cant wait to have my TR next year

Hey, just wanted to say that I to had all of these severe symotoms..I will be 30 in July. I was told that I had severe endometriosis...to alot of scar tissue.to who knows what else by my OBGYN. Of course they think you are crazy when you tell them how you feel each month. I tried everything. My doc. tried to get me to take all kinds of anti-depressants to muscle relaxers. I am not a big pill fan, so of course refused. When I re-married my husband and I talked it over and our main reason for TR was to releive symptoms and there was a plus...maybe the hope of a baby of our own. The decision was an easy one. I will tell you Dr. Berger and his staff are ANGELS.I had no more symptoms sfter my TR on April 27, 2004.And now thanks to them were expecting our first baby May 2005..Thank God for Chapel Hill!!!!

I'm sorry to hear that others suffer this, at the same time that it's a relief to know I'm not insane. I too have symptoms that make me want to rip my insides out. Crippling pain is but among them. If this surgery helps I plan to shout to the world as well. What I would love to do most is find some way to get the insurance and medical world to see it for what it is and to DO something about it.

I am suffering the same thing right now. I have been dealing with this for almost a year now (since I had the surgery Sept 14 2003.) I am very anxiously (and I do not mean this lightly at all) to have my reversal. If the reversal does not relieve my symptoms then I will be castrated completely to remove the pain and SEVERE PMS symptoms. My quality of life has gone to **** since this happened to me. I was not informed of these possible symptoms either and I feel betrayed by all those who continue to cover this up by denying it or not informing us when they ask us to sign those papers. I would be glad to provide you with a list of my symptoms. At first, I had no idea what was wrong with me so I documented what I was going through and what changes I experienced. Now I know what it is and I am doing everything that I can to be informed and get my health back (I was a healthy and vibrant person prior to this.) I am now 30 years old but I may as well be 50. I will shout to the world if my symptoms improve after the TR because that will be PROOF of what is wrong with me.
You are right! There is a lot of controversy in the medical field about PTLS and whether or not it really exists. I can only tell you that we have seen many patients who say that their PTLS symptoms were real and that having the TR made a world of differnce. Please go to our site and see what others have said. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/post_tubal_ligation_syndrome.htm

ok... am I crazy or is post tubal ligation syndrome real? I've been told flat out it's what I have. Every test they did came back fine. And why isn't insurance responsible for undoing what they helped cause? It seems unfair that the doctors who tend to perform TL, at least in my case) never once warned me of the problems that could occur. So why aren't they held liable for undoing something they did? I've done tons of reading on PTLS and the medical world seems split in two as to whether it's a real problem or not:|
