Tubal Reversal Message Board members disagree with the concept that symptoms that they have experienced since their tubal ligation are “just in their heads”. They know that their symptoms are not imaginary and are grateful when their symptoms disappear after tubal reversal surgery.
A frequent topic of discussion on the Tubal Reversal Message Board is about the issue of Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome (PTLS). Cristina (‘dixechick77′) posed this question: “Since I had my tubes tied, I have noticed less libido, more headaches, longer periods with heavier bleeding including clots, unbelievable mood swings and heavy cramping. WHAT IS THIS? I have read different views! Would it be beneficial to have a Tubal Reversal?” She receives responses other message board participants about the issue of Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome (PTLS), such as “Immediately after TL, I had severe headaches, bleeding with clots, depression, anxiety, skin problems and the list goes on. I am on CD 5 and have had only slight cramps, no headaches and no mood swings although results vary from woman to woman. I had immediate results after TR. Tubal reversal was worth every penny for me,” and “Absolutely! It is called Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome and I had it bad. My tubes were tied for 3 years and I suffered right away. I am six month post-TR and am 95% back to what I consider normal. I say, go for it!” Another member adds, “After I had my tubes tied, AF started to change. My AF before the TL used to be 4 days, mild cramps, and medium flow. I had my TR Nov. 08 and have not had a single episode of flooding and no cramps. I am amazed. I am back to my old self!” Dixechick77 asks “Why aren’t doctors diagnosing this?” That question has been discussed in detail on the Tubal Reversal Blog. Read the rest of this entry »

There are a number of gentlemen who have previously undergone a vasectomy only for a change in life’s circumstances getting them to look into a vasectomy reversal. If you find yourself in such a position, then as well as researching the procedure, you really should do some research on the vasectomy reversal specialist that you will be considering for your operation.

Vasectomy Reversal Statistics
Vasectomy Reversals are opted by 6 -12% of vasectomized males. Successful reversals have been performed on men as far out as 29 to 42 years from their vasectomy. But the general opinion is that the shorter the gap from an earlier Vasectomy, the greater the chances for success.
A member of the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center Message Board posts “I was a member here several years ago. I had my reversal done by Dr. Berger 3 years ago. I had all but given up hope but now I’m currently 14 weeks pregnant at the age of 44!” Many times women age 40 or over who have had tubal ligation are encouraged to undergo IVF with donor egg due to their age. Tubal Reversal surgery with Dr. Berger gives women of any age the chance to conceive a child naturally. In a study performed by Dr. Berger, pregnancy rates after tubal reversal were higher than after IVF within every age group. Similarly, birth rates were higher after tubal reversal at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center than after IVF for women of all ages and the differences increased with increasing maternal age.
