How much trouble would it be to get my tubes unclamped?

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?

Depending on the type of tubal ligation that was performed, you may be a candidate for reversal. However, due to the fact you had an endometrial ablation and are not having periods, that means that your uterine lining (endometrium) has been destroyed (which is why ablations are performed) and would not be able to sustain a pregnancy even if your were able to get your tubes reversed. The only option would be to do IVF, retrieve your eggs, fertilize them with your partner's sperm and then use a surrogate to carry the pregnancy since your uterus is now non-functional.

Without menstrual cycles, it is a possibility that the ablation ruined the lining of your uterus, which would make it extremely difficult to conceive even if your tubes were reversed. Your doctor ablated and burnt your uterus because he tied your tubes. The intent was that you did not want more children. If you want a child, you will most likely need IVF treatment and you might need someone else to carry your baby.
