Tubal Reversal -2 answers

I had my tubes clamped with a little micro machine. I don't remember what it is called though. Nonetheless, I want to get the clamp off so that I can try to become pregnant. I am married and seriously want to have a baby with my husband. How much trouble would it be to get my tubes unclamped? If I do this, what are my chances of getting pregnant?

Assuming you are at a healthy weight & you have a good amount of ovarian reserve (number of eggs for your age), tubal reversal may be an option for you, depending on the procedure used at the time of your tubal ligation (when your tubes were either blocked, tied, cut, etc.). Our doctors would need to obtain a copy of the surgical & pathology report from that surgery to see exactly what approach was taken during your surgery & how much healthy tube is left to see if a reversal is possible.

If the above reports show it would be reasonable to attempt a tubal reversal, our doctors would first want you to have some hormone testing done to be sure that you have a good number of eggs left to attempt pregnancy at the age of 39. We know that as women age, their ovarian reserve declines so they would not want to perform a tubal reversal surgery on you if you don't have a good chance of getting pregnant after surgery based on how your ovaries are functioning.

Absolutely yes, tubal reversal is a good option even with one tube and
ovary. Your one ovary will compensate for the loss of the other by
producing an egg each month so your chances of pregnancy are the same as
for other women your age.
