If I had clips placed 2 to 3 cm distal to the cornual end of each tube could I get pregnant? What if I had a reversal, could I get pregnant then?

Question

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?

Potentially. This location of clip application is generally in a good area for successful reanastomosis. Other factors to consider are how much normal healthy fallopian tube remains for reanastomosis, the woman's age (older women have less of a chance conceiving and a higher risk of miscarriage), her partner's semen parameters (should do a semen analysis), and whether the woman is ovulatory.

Yes, there is a very slight chance could get pregnant with the clips in place. However, it would most likely be an ectopic pregnancy (meaning in your tube). It sounds as if you would be a good reversal candidate with the type of ligation you had.

It sounds like you have a very reversible type of tubal sterilization. However, the only way to know for sure is to consult with a fertility specialist. He or she will need to examine your operative report, perform tests and do a physical examination.
