My husband and I have been together for sixteen years and had our first three kids in our mid-twenties. We always wanted more but after having to take custody of my husband's siblings, we made the huge mistake of getting my tubes tied. A choice we thought was permanent, I mourned the loss of the children we never had. As the kids all grew older and as we approached our mid-thirties, we began to talk about the 'what-ifs' and after a short time on the internet researching PTLS, found your website. This has been the most miraculous experience and we know that God led us directly to your care. Our first three kids are now thirteen, eleven, and nine. To be able to share this with our children is an experience beyond words. Our family is better and stronger for this, and we are all anxious to meet and be blessed with another baby come July." mr.andmrs.sparrow@gmail.com.

Dr. Gary Berger and I recommend HSG's (hystersalpingograms) one year after surgery if unable to become pregnant. It may take that long and HSG's can be inaccurate."
