The Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center gets asked a lot about HSG by women after tubal reversal surgery. They are questioning whether their tubes are really open, regardless of the checking Dr. Berger does during the surgery, and want to do this procedure. However, there are concerns about this being done too quickly.
Carol, a member of the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center Message Board members, asks other ladies to share their age and FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) levels because she would like to discuss trying to conceive after age 35 and the importance of FSH when trying to achieve pregnancy. An FSH serum assay on cycle day 3 can determine if a woman has a good number of healthy eggs left in her ovaries. An elevated FSH level indicates a reduction in the quantity of eggs. A normal or low FSH level shows that there is a good reservoir of eggs for future ovulations. Carol had tubal reversal surgery with Dr. Berger in April 2008 and is optimistic that she will be able to conceive a pregnancy since her FSH was low (less than 2) and her tube lengths after surgery were 6.5 cm and 7. 0cm.
Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Message Board offers a forum for TR patients to discuss how TR has helped relieve the symptoms of Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome. Many patients notice relief even with the first menstrual cycle after TR. Often, patients note even greater improvements over time. Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center hosts a PTLS blog as well as information on the condition on their website.

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.
