Signs you are pregnant?

You're symptoms of pregnancy include: missed period, fatigue, swollen and or tender breasts, mood swings, flu like symptoms, nausea, implantation bleeding (slightly different than a period) etc. Not all women will experience pregnancy symptoms so if you do suspect you might be pregnant, you should take a test rather than relying solely on symptoms. Not all women do experience a missed period during the first few weeks of pregnancy, so again, it is important to use other determinations of pregnancy other than symptoms. It is important for you to confirm your pregnancy as soon as possible to ensure the proper care and safety of you and your new baby. Most of these symptoms will start about two weeks after the first day of your missed period.

Your symptoms of pregnancy will usually appear anywhere from the first week of your expected period to 1-2 weeks after your first week of expected period.

Medicaid help pay for tubal reversal in n.j?

I'm sorry to hear your having second thoughts about your tubal you had like me, but there is a down side here, i have contacted medicaid and read on there website as well that they will not help pay nor will they pay at all to have your tubal reversed, sad but true since they cover it done they should cover at least part of it to reverse but they don't, the upside is to this that Newark medical center does offer the reversal in New Jersey and you maybe able to get it done using charity care straight from the hospital or if you can get your doctor to prove it is medically nessassary like for example it is causing changing that are hazzardious to your health then you may get it somewhere at a discounted rate.

also there is a slight chance if you have had your tubes banned that the bands will fail or if your tubes were cut like mine that they will grow back.

however if you do happen to find a place that does do it for little to nothing by all means let me know too i am dieing to get this undone!

After having a tubal ligation can they come untied?

not likely will that happen.......doctor's these days perform better surgeries then they did back then if you had your tubes tied, cut, and burnt then you should'nt have that problem.

Can you get pregnant if your tubal clamp falls off?

yes they can! my left one is off and in my abdomen! my obgyn assured me this happens all the time and pregnancy is not possible!

Actually, you CAN get pregnant! One of the clamps fell off 18 years ago for me... my daughter was born within a year later!

Can you become pregnant after having a tubal ligation 3 years ago?

Anything is possible but there havent been many cases of this in the years they have done tubal ligation. Go back to that same doctor and have them test you and if you are pregnant, they owe you an explanation and some money....Good luck. Yes. My tubal ligation failed 6 weeks after the surgery. I had a hysterosalpingogram shortly thereafter that showed one tube 100% open. Regardless of whether you trust your physician, if you are in fact pregnant, ask for an immediate referral to another, impartial physician (don't stick with the original physician, which is what I did!). A reputable physician will understand, indeed, will be most concerned that you receiving optimal care. In my case, despite having a good prior relationship with my physician, this physician turned out to be both in denial and frankly dishonest once it became apparently that the surgery was probably, then definitely, a failure. I had a lot of trouble with my insurance company and in obtaining an accurate diagnosis as a result of this physician's behavior.

Could you be pregnant if you had a tubal ligation two years ago but you are late for your period and lactating?

Hello. Yes its possible you could be pregnant. Because of your pat history with the tubal, its highly advisable you contact your doctor about the possibility of being pregnant and also have a blood test to confirm your pregnant or not. Good luck. i am also 24 and also had a tubal at 21 after my second child, and like you, also have signs of pregnancy. things that ive only experienced twice before. both times being pregnant. i would also advise seeking the advice of your doctor . from what ive read on here it is highly likely that it could be an eptopic pregnancy. ANSWER #2 Stastically the younger you have your tubes tied the higher chance of you falling pregnant, mostly because the longer it is since your tubal the higher chance of your body repairing itself. women who have tubals later in life (over 35 for eg) are less likely to fall pregnant due to the fact that by the time the body could heal itslef, they would no longer be fertile. best thing to do is go get a pregnancy test and if its positive, have a scan to rule out the eptopic pregnancy. goodluck

Is it possible to get a tubal reversal if your tubes are clipped and burned?

It depends on how much of the tube was damaged during the tubal ligation. A reversal doctor would be able to look at your post-op reports and tell you what you chances for a successfull reversal are.

What step you must to do to get pregnant after tubal ligation 6 years ago?

It's not likely. They don't come undone, if that's the concern.

However, in rare cases (1 in 1000) the tubal ligation may not have been done properly or completely in the first place, or through some quirk of anatomy or defect in the ligature, a sperm and an egg may be able to join in the abdominal cavity or in some other place.

If this is a concern, no harm is done in using contraception pending consultation with a health care practitioner. If one has had intercourse and is concerned about it, a home pregnancy test will be useful. If it is positive, a health care practitioner should be consulted within a day or two. It might be a fluke, but then again, it could be an ectopic pregnancy, which is dangerous.

Does Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia cover tubal ligation reversal?

it depends on your policy. for mine, once i met my $500 deductible (which is billed to you by whomever is doing the surgery) if it was an in-network provider it was covered 100%; out of network provider was covered at 80%. in-patient stay was a $150 charge on top of that and out-of-patient stay was subject to a $300 deductible. all in all i was pleasantly surprised, i didn't think it was going to cover ANYTHING---i can't afford the $5900 out of pocket cash cost for a reversal for but i can afford the $650 in-provider cost. I'm ecstatic. and the customer lady was REALLY nice, too.

Are there any doctors in Alberta that does tubal ligation reversal?

I seriously doubt it. Tubal reversal is considered a voluntary surgery that is not medically necessary. The only thing you can do is call and ask them, but I am willing to bet they say no. Sorry if that wasn't the answer you were hoping for.

Can you have a healthy pregnancy if you have had a tubal ligation?

Allow me to answer from experience....YES IT CAN. The chance is very small, from what I've read in the 1-2% range, but I myself am a child of pregnancy after tubal ligation. My mother had her tubes tied TWICE. After my brother was born she had a tubal ligation. Six years later she found herself pregnant with me. Upon having her tubes cut and burned further, the doctor said he had no idea how that could happen as everything looked still separated. Of course, you have to take the chances into the proper context; HIGHLY UNLIKELY, but entirely possible.

If you are HIV positive can you do tubal reversal?

You might have trouble getting someone to perform the operation. It's not life saving and it will put the operating staff at greater risk than for a patient that's not HIV positive. You should also consider the risk of transferring HIV to the baby, that is not something you'd want your baby to start out with.

How much does tubal ligation reversal cost?

I have also wondered this. I had a tubal in 2005 and have sometimes regretted it. I have looked on the web and have not found anything about free tubal reversals. I hope you find one and if not maybe God will take matters into his own hands and give you a child. Good luck.

How do you find out if your tubes are tied cut or burnt?

You will need to get your medical records from the doctor who performed the surgery. The description of the procedure, including the method of severing the tubes, will be listed in your medical record. You can have the record forwarded to your new doctor, who will likely need to see all the information from your previous surgery.

What is the percentage of getting pregnant after a tubal?

Whilst the procedure is successful in up to 95-98% the chances of becoming pregnant are some times considerably lower than normal.

I found you a link (See below related link) they explain:

Most of our patients become pregnant after tubal reversal. Our pregnancy statistics show that approximately 70% of all patients will report pregnancy. The success rate can be as high as 90% depending on the type of tubal ligation and age of the patient. In comparison, IVF pregnancy success is on average 30-35% for each IVF cycle.

The tubal ligation is considered a permanent solution but it is mainly a question of cost to have this "repaired". They say that it depends on the exact procedure done to start with.

Fertility clinics in Denmark say that a reversal as in cutting off the burned ends and stitching together is a solution but will often form scar-tissue that still blocks passage of the eggs. This to be understood so that the procedure may be successful but with time, the scar-tissue may grow and block passage within few years.

The cost of tubal ligation reversal at the leading center here in the United States is about $6000. Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center has also completed the largest study on pregnancy after tubal reversal surgery. The name of the study is called Tubal Reversal Pregnancy Report 2009. In this study data was collected on over 5000 tubal reversal patients. Not only did the study reveal that the pregnancy rates are higher with tubal reversal than with the alternative treatment of IVF but also less expensive. The great thing with tubal reversal surgery is that if the couple decides they want more than one child after after the procedure there is no added medical intervention needed.

Tubal reversal success depends on the type of ligation originally performed, your age at the time of the reversal as well as the experience the surgeon performing the procedure has.
