379) Why Women Get Tied Tubes Untied
Some women seek to have their tubes untied for many reasons other than to have another child after tubal ligation. Some of the reasons are to: relieve symptoms associated with a tubal ligation (PTLS), feel whole again, be like God intended them to be, comply with their religious tenants, relieve regret of a prior mistake, correct a decision made during a past and difficult relationship, or fill the emptiness from the loss of a child or another loved one.

380) When to Have an HSG (Hysterosalpingogram) After Tubal Ligation Reversal
A new member of the message board at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center has had her tubes untied and now wants to know how long she should wait to have an HSG to check the patency of the repaired fallopian tubes. Dr. Gary Berger recommends that she wait for at least 6 to 12 months after having her tubes untied for this test. Dr. Berger places a stent inside the tubal lumen during reverse tubal ligation so he knows the tube is open at that time. Furthermore, an HSG carries a risk of infection and often does not give conclusive results. It is best to give yourself a chance to become pregnant rather than rushing to have an HSG. Most patients conceive within this time frame and will avoid the need for an unnecessary and possibly misleading or harmful procedure.

381) Trying for Tubal Reversal Baby #3
Tracy, a patient of Dr. Gary Berger at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center, had her second tubal reversal baby on March 21st. She has just quit taking birth control pills and is hoping for TR baby #3. On the Tubal Reversal Message Board she asks when she can expect to ovulate and try to conceive. Jennifer Okun, RN responds that the return of ovulation varies from woman to woman. She advises Tracy to contact her own Ob/Gyn and follow his/her instructions. One of the advantages of tubal reversal surgery is it is possible to have more than one child after the reversal operation, in contrast to the alternative of IVF which requires retreatment with each attempted pregnancy.
