Jeannine asks on the Tubal Reversal Message Board for input from other message board members about early pregnancy symptoms with untied tubes. She posts, “Okay, I know you can find out what early pregnancy symptoms are on the web. However, I was wondering if some of the women on the board would share their early pregnancy symptoms and when did they start to experience them (how many DPO).” Pregnancy signs and symptoms differ among women and pregnancies. The most common early pregnancy sign is delayed menstruation. Some women experience pregnancy signs even before their period is delayed. For others, signs or symptoms will not develop over a few weeks or may not even be present at all. Understanding pregnancy signs and symptoms is important for women who have had their tubes untied. Dr. Berger recommends monitoring early pregnancy with quantitative serum HCG assays and scheduling an ultrasound exam when the HCG level reaches 1500. Dr. Berger and his staff at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center want to be kept informed of all results. Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center is the only facility that exclusively performs tubal reversal surgery, and it has set a new standard for patient care by following up with patients and providing accurate, up-to-date pregnancy statistics.

Hi everyone! I found out today that the pathology report said they took very little of my tubes..not even 1cm…does that mean my tubes are not very long though? And does it make a difference in the size? I know im probably so paranoid..havent heard nothing on the loan yet, im getting impatient…keep your fingers crossed for me I should have an answer tomorrow!

Hi Kacy,
If Im not mistaken I had less than 1cm removed also. Had my Tr almost 10 days ago and I was left with 6.5R and 4 Id say you have a great chance! Dr Berger is an angel in disguise so have faith. I was in your shoes just last month waiting to hear about loan. Ive got fingers toes and anything else I can cross crossed for u. Good luck! And no you arent too paranoid I think we’ve all been there!

Kacy I think it depend on who did your TL. My report said he took 1 cm from each side yet I ended up with 2.5 and 5. I think my Dr. folded my tube in half and cut it. I was expecting much longer tubes than I got. Also it depends on which type of TL you had. I had ligation resection. Your’s sound good though, so I wouldn’t worry at all. I was just glad I had something to work with,

Lots of Love.

Kacy, unfortunately, I’ve heard way too often that the reports were erroneous when it comes to figuring your lengths. Don’t worry though… there are plenty of short-tubers that get those
BFP’s and I see less of them with blocked tubes, so I guess it’s a mixed blessing. If you are worried, you can chose to have the LAP done to see what Dr. Berger can do before TR. To be honest, it really depends on WHAT kind of TL you had that mostly determines your tube lengths.

Kacy, I didn’t have pathology reports for my TL, but my tubes were coagulated in three places on each tube. Dr.Berger did LAP and was able to continue with reversal . My tube lenghts are L 3.5 & R 5.5 . It’s been 5 months since surgery.

Hi, I just had my TR done today. This is my first time posting to any of the boards. I was told that my TL’s are 6 and 7 centimeters. My age is still a factor, but I’m praying for God to give us a baby. I believe it’s a miracle that TR’s are available to women today.

Members of The Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center message board discuss having tubal reversal surgery after failed IVF attempts. For most women who have had their tubes tied and now desire more children, tubal reversal surgery is more successful and less expensive than the other option of in vitro fertilization (IVF). With IVF, drugs must be administered and a minor surgical procedure performed each time a women wants to try to conceive. With pregnancy rates of only 27% per cycle – and a cost of approximately $10,000 – $15,000 per cycle, IVF can become expensive quickly. When the reversal is performed by Dr. Gary Berger, success rates are nearly 75% and the cost is a one-time all-inclusive fee of $5900.
