Tubal Reversal

Success rate for getting pregnant after a tubal reversal range between 40 and 85-percent. Age, type of tubal procedure, length of remaining fallopian tubes, scar tissue in pelvic area, and partner's sperm count all play a role in the success of the pregnancy.

It costs about 700, my mom had it done, wanted a second child

I think it comes down to whether or not the woman is still fertile, as many women start going through menopause at/before this age.

HOWEVER... stastically speaking, theres more chance that the tubes can re-heal themselves as stats show women become slightly more probable of falling pregnant after 10 years or so.

any woman, no matter of the age, has a 1.4% chance of falling pregnant after a tubal ligation (its not 100% as some women think) 8-10 years after the tubal a woman is 1.8 % likely to fall pregnant.

This isn't even counting the fact that a lot of women have had subsequent hysterectomies or gone though menopause by this age, so there is a change, if youre stil ovulating (havent reached menopause yet) that you could fall pregnant, more chance than a 20 yr old on the pill.

goodluck :)

you can look in your phone book, google it, or ask for a referral from your family doctor or OBGYN.

It depends on the company, the policy and/or its medical necessity; some do, and some don't.

Hi my name is Elizabeth and i had an infection after my tubes were tied. My symptoms were a very bad fever and shaking all over, i got released and one day later were my stitches were open in one spot it leeked with infection all over. The presure was gone when it leeked out. I did feel a lot better after. And i just let it heal after that. keep it clean and use salean water to clean it.

Yes the costs are covered, but if you want to reverse the surgery you flip the bill.

I cant seem to find any information on this but i had my ligation almost a year ago and my boobs feel significantly larger and I'm measured at a dd now, having always been a b or c gal. No medical evidence but i say it is possible and due most likely to hormonal changes after the procedure.

I would doubt this would be covered, but contact the benefits advisor (should be a number on your card) and ask.

NO

Wait a minute here, yes it can. you would have to see a fertility specialist about this. and it also depends (if you want to get pregnant) on how much tube is left afterwards. i have been reading alot over the weeks behind me and have found that it isn't cheap and that most insurance companies will not cover it. somewhere around 6500 dollars.

good luck to you

1. • Bleeding from a skin incision or inside the abdomen.
   • Infection.
   • Damage to other organs inside the abdomen.
   • Side effects from anesthesia.
   • Ectopic pregnancy (an egg that becomes fertilized outside the uterus)
   • Incomplete closing of a fallopian tube that results in pregnancy.

Sorry to say, you can't purchase any insurance that will cover a tubal reversal. The only way insurance covers it if your employer puts it on your coverage plan.... That's the way understood it. I'm going threw the same thing. Some hospitals and doctors will break their fee in half if you don't have any insurance that's what mine is doing!!!!

does kaiser cover a tubal reversal

You shouldn't be able to get pregnant is correct, but that answer is only if you live in a perfect world. I know that I have had a child and a miscarriage after my tubes were tied. There is no guaranty when the tubes are tied.

According to my research the chances are actually greater than ivf. May god bless you with a child as I feel your pain. I am in the same situation and actually starting my own business to save all proceeds for the procedure. After seven years I am going for a reversal because all my research (extensive over the past 3 years) says that the chances are greater and is less expensive. My pain may be somewhat deeper as I am a childless mother may we pray for each other. Prayer does work!

Not really bad, but you enjoy sex, or masturbation, longer if you manage to postpone the ejaculation.

Only by a abdominal scan and tests. I doubt if you could tell if a tubal ligation is still intact with an ultrasound. The only way I am aware you could tell for sure would be with a laparoscopy or a hyysterosalpingogram (a test where dye is injected into the uterus and tubes and then an X-Ray is taken). Unless you have gotten pregnant, why would you suspect the tubal ligation is no longer effective?

Yes. It is very possible to still get pregnant after having your tubes tied. But sadly most of the pregnancies do not carry through because they do end up being "Tube" pregnancies which can be very harmful for the woman.

if you still qualify financially yes whether you have your tubes tied or not does not make a difference.

A tubal ligation is a surgical procedure done in women to permanently prevent conception and pregnancy. It can be done in various ways but the term literally means tying or binding of the tubes (Fallopian tubes). This is why you hear it referred to as having your "tubes tied".
Tubal ligation or tubectomy a.k.a. having one's "tubes tied" is a surgical procedure for sterilization in which a woman's fallopian tubes are clamped and blocked, or severed and sealed, either method of which prevents eggs from reaching the uterus for fertilization. Tubal ligation is considered a permanent method of sterilization or birth control.

Reconstructive or corrective surgery on the fimbria of a damaged or blocked fallopian tube. In the female reproductive system, the fimbria (female reproductive system) is a fringe of tissue near the ovary leading to the Fallopian tube.

If the procedure is successful and your ovaries are in tact, you could conceive

In Canada the tubal ligation is covered by Health Care. I live in Alberta and I had mine done January 2005 and it was completely covered. The age is left to the discretion of the doctor providing the tubal. My doctor said as soon as you turn 18 you can have it done, but another doctor said after 25 years of age. Good Luck

There are essentially no insurance companies that will cover tubal ligation reversal. Many clinics that perform the procedure offer payment plans that spread the cost of the quite expensive surgery.

There are two options for women who have had a previous tubal ligation and now desire to have more children: 1) tubal reversal surgery and, 2) in vitro fertilization (IVF). Although tubal reversal surgery is not right for everyone, in most cases it is the most successful and most cost-effective option for pregnancy after sterilization. With pregnancy rates averaging 75% and a cost of $5900, tubal reversal surgery is usually more desirable than IVF with pregnancy rates of approximately 27% and costs exceeding $8,000 per IVF cycle.

One way to determine whether tubal reversal surgery is the best option for you is through an interpretation of the operative report from your tubal ligation. With this information, the doctor is able to provide feedback on the type of sterilization that was performed and the amount of tube that may be remaining after the reversal.

Your local doctor can perform the required pre-operative lab tests for you. The lab testing should be completed within a day or two of scheduling surgery to ensure results are in at least three weeks prior to the surgery date. An anesthesiologist may contact you before your surgery date. The discussion may include reviewing your health and anesthesia history. Depending on your health history, additional lab or medical testing may be required.
