Along with sharing pictures of her first tubal reversal baby, 'Annjeana', a member of the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center message board, reports that she is trying to conceive a second tubal reversal child. Tubal ligation reversal surgery restores women's ability to have children again and again. Dr. Gary S.

256) Better Tubal Reversal Outcomes Through Stent Placement
Dr Gary Berger and Dr. Charles Monteith perform tubal reversal surgery daily at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center with the placement of a stent in the fallopian tube. A stent is a slender thread inserted into the tubal lumen during tubal anastomosis. The stent is withdrawn after the tube has been repaired. Using a stent ensures that the tubal lumen is completely open from the uterus to the fimbrial end of the tube. Studies comparing the outcome of tubal reversals using a stent vs not using a stent indicate that the pregnancy rate is higher when a stent is used. Due to possible problems that can occur with dye injection (hydrotubation), the use of this technique is not always an accurate indicator regarding whether the tubes are open or not and may leave a question regarding whether there is tubal patency after surgery. The stent technique is the better approach.

Pat has two children (ages 27 and 25) from a previous marriage. Pat and Jason met eight years ago. In fact, they met one week before Pat had her tubal ligation surgery (tubes tied). Pat had a tubal ring sterilization procedure. After her tubes were tied, Pat and Jason began dating and they married three years later. She checked with a local physician who performed tubal ligation reversal surgery in Virginia. She was ready to have the surgery until she was informed the cost with that provider was going to be $9,000! Moreover, this was only the doctor's fee and did not include the fees for the hospital or anesthesia care. The total cost was going to be close to $20,000. This is when Pat started searching for a more affordable tubal reversal and this is when she decided to call Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center.

272) Low Blood Count Could Delay Tubal Reversal Surgery
'Nycmom2b', a Tubal Reversal Message Board member, is concerned about her abnormal blood count. She writes, "I am now unable to have my reversal, unless my hematocrit rises to 30. Once I have the reversal and finally obtain a BFP, my blood count needs to stay up in order to maintain a healthy pregnancy and delivery." Dr. Gary Berger and Dr. Charles Monteith, the tubal reversal doctors at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center, do not perform elective outpatient surgery when someone is anemic. The hemoglobin level must be at least 10 and hematocrit must be 30 or above. This policy is for optimal patient safety. Preoperative blood tests should be completed within a day or two of scheduling your tubal ligation reversal. The lab results should be at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center at least 3 weeks prior to the date of surgery, but no more than 90 days prior to surgery.

273) Should FSH Hormone Level Be Drawn Prior To Tubal Ligation Reversal?
'CaymanDjay' posts on the Tubal Reversal Message Board, "I am 45 years old and I have a normal Cycle Day 3 FSH level of 7.6." Women age 40 and older are recommended to have an FSH assay by Dr. Gary Berger and Dr. Charles Monteith prior to scheduling reversal of tubal ligation at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center. A normal FSH level (10 or less) shows that a reservoir of eggs still remains in the ovaries. An elevated FSH level indicates that she is starting to run out of eggs, although pregnancy is still possible as long as she is menstruating.As long as menstruation is still occurring, there is no specific age limit to having the a tubal ligation reversed. For women in their forties desiring tubal reversal surgery, it is best to schedule the procedure sooner rather than later since fertility declines as time passes.

274) Part 2 of My Journey to Tubal Reversal With Dr. Berger
In Part 2 of My Journey to Tubal Reversal With Dr. Berger, posted on the Tubal Reversal Blog, Lisa R. writes, "On the day of my consult at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center, I felt like I was in a whole new world. I have NEVER in my life felt so important or so special. When I met with Dr. Berger that day, I just knew I was in the best hands possible."

275) Implantation Time After Tubal Reversal Surgery
'Lounangie', a Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center Message Board member asks, "How long will It take for Implantation to take place now that we have all had TR done? Is it the same as before TL? I was wondering since we have shorter tubes now." Implantation usually occurs about 1 week after ovulation. The timing of ovulation varies with the length of a woman's menstrual cycle. In the average 28 day menstrual cycle, the LH surge usually occurs between cycle days 11-13 and ovulation follows about 36-48 hours later, on or close to cycle day 14. (It is the mid-cycle surge of the hormone LH that causes the dominant follicle to rupture and release the mature egg.) Women with shorter menstrual cycle lengths tend to ovulate earlier and women with longer cycle lengths tend to ovulate later than cycle day 14. Despite the variations in menstrual cycle length, the time from ovulation to the onset of the next menstrual period is usually constant (2 weeks). This principle is the basis for the use of ovulation calendars that take into account an individual's shortest and longest cycle lengths.

276) Question Directed To Dr. Gary Berger at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center
Tubal Reversal Message Board member 'jodib' directs her questions to Dr. Gary Berger who performed her tubal ligation reversal in 2006. Since then, she has had 2 tubal reversal babies but is concerned that she has not yet conceived her third pregnancy after having her tubes untied. All the staff of Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center - doctors, nurses, anesthesia, administrator, surgical techs, and medical secretaries - respond to questions and concerns daily on the message board. Dr. Berger posts, "I doubt that having taken Clomid would interfere with your ovulation cycles now since you have such regular periods. If necessary, ovulation stimulation with Clomid or gonadotropins is always possible. Once you have chosen a doctor to evaluate what is going on, things should be clearer. Usually, the passage of more time is what will lead to another pregnancy after tubal reversal surgery."
