A fertility specialist said my tubes are "dead." What does this mean? Is this possible after Filshie clips?
I was supposed to have plastic clamps put on my tubes in 2005 after I had my 3rd daughter. The doctor said they were removable. July 6th 2016, I went to a fertility specialist about getting them removed. He told me my tubes are "dead" and sent me on my way. Is it possible? What does that even mean? How can this be resolved? I would love to have another child.

I had the Hulka clips put on during a tubal ligation procedure when I was 24 years old. I am now 30 and my husband and I want another child. We are uncertain if my irregular periods are being caused by some of the Hulka clips coming off, or maybe the tube has grown around them. Is this likely and would either cause irregular periods? Also, would tubal reversal be a good option if we are considering having another child?
