Tubal Reversal

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

That might could happen. I think it just depends on if you've started minapos or not. But you should probably be able to. Why do ask?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The tubal clamp is done during a tubal litigation procedure. It is meant to be a lifelong procedure, although it is not guaranteed to be 100% effective. It is reversible, but it does not guarantee that the woman will be able to conceive.

Maine Care does not pay for tubal reversal. Maine Care will provide payment for tubal ligation, but not to reverse the procedure.

they did an exray and found that my right clip fell off my tubiligation should I be worried?

Well you have lots of options there are 3-4 well respected surgeons in your area. To research the topic and possibly help you choose which doctor to go for have a look at the "Vasectomy Reversal Help' link below.

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.

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.

How long is probably a discussion to be had with the specialist, first it needs to be determined

if it is even possible to try a reversal by studying the medical records of the woman's surgery.

If the surgery is done there will be healing time and at some point tests to see if the fallopian tubes healed properly.

This is a very individual process, depending on the the method used for the ligation, how the woman heals and the formation of scar tissue. The overall success for a reversal vary greatly from 20% to 70% depending on a woman's age and the damage left after the reversal has healed.

The methods that have proved the most successful for positive results after reversal are tubal ligation that was achieved by clips or rings placed around the tubes or the removal of a small section of the fallopian tubes.

If there is too much damage to realign the tubes with a fairly equal size piece of fallopian tube on either side, the risk of failure or tubal pregnancy is very high. (Before being severed the tubes are tapered.)

Doctors usually will try to talk the woman into IVF or even IVF with donated eggs (depending on her age).

Not sure about the exact odds, but I just met a woman 3 nights ago who had her 4th child 12 years after her tubal. That's not good enough odds for me! I'm doing essure or we're both getting snipped!!!

Tubal ligation is the blocking or tying of the fallopian tubes whereas oopherectomy is the removal of one or both ovaries. It is normal these days to have salpingo (removal of tubes) - oopherectomy as the medical psoffession now believe that some cancers are started in the fallopian tubes so they tend to take them out at same time

Yes. Guilty.

I am actually wondering if Tubal ligation reversal can be done in Tasmania too. I am hoping to have mine reversed but can't seem to find any info for down here. I also don't know what the first step is I should take.

I had a tubal ligation done 3 years after my daughter was born. I had my period last month and I am now late this month. I have been tired, crampy and breasts are tender. I had my tubes cut and burned and now I'm wondering if it's possible that I could be pregnant? Also, if I am, could it be a healthy pregnancy? Hugs4three

The chance of pregnancy following tubal ligation (burning, cutting, clipping, tying) is very small - but since our body's are designed to heal - it occasionally happens. The chance of this happening actually goes up slightly over the years. But it is still very rare.

If you think you may be pregnant take a HPT, as the chance of ectopic pregnancy is slightly higher in a pregnancy following tubal ligation.

If you are referring to an ectopic (tubal) pregnancy some symptoms are: Lower abdominal or pelvic pain Mild cramping on one side of the pelvis Amenorrhea (cessation of regular menstrual cycle) Abnormal vaginal bleeding (usually scant amounts, spotting) Breast tenderness Nausea Low back pain If rupture and hemorrhaging occurs before successfully treating the pregnancy, symptoms may worsen and include: Severe, sharp, and sudden pain in the lower abdominal area Feeling faint or actually fainting Referred pain to the shoulder area
