I had my tubes tied 3 years ago & wish it was never done?

Question

After the birth of my 3rd child, I had my tubes burnt & clamped. Now almost 3 1/2 years later I wish I never had it done. I know about IVF and reversal but unsure about the % rate in it going through. I had re married to a wonderful man with no children of his own and we wish to have another child of our own to make our family complete. I had always wanted more children but due to medical conditions I thought having them tied would be the best option. Months later I find out that my medical conditions would no be long term and regret what I have done. I don't believe with the tubes being burnt and clamped that they can be repaired. Any help would be great. Thank You

Answer 1

I was told when I had my burned and clamped that it would not be reversible. I am so sorry you regret your decision in your current situation. I hope your find a solution to your needs.
God Bless

Answer 2

You need to see a fertility specialist. I had mine clamped which is a little easier to 'undo'. They can fix cut and burnt tubes but there is no guarntee that you'll get pregnant.
Your doctor should have made 100% certain that you'd never want another child no matter what circumtances came up. I waited 2 years after my 3rd child's birth so I could be certain I wouldn't want another one.
Have you and your new husband dicussed adoption if your tubal can't be reversed? Leave your options open so that you won't be more disappointed later on.
Good luck

Answer 4

Ignore other people. You are the one who are caring for these children and you know your limits, in terms of strength, emotion, resources and finances. Good for you. Keep in mind that if you completely change your mind in the future, there are options such as a tubal reversal or IVF. While not 100%, they are generally pretty effective options. I can't take the regular pill either. I ended up hospitalized the first time with the 'irregular heart rate' that you mention. While I'm not glad to hear that you had that complication, it's nice to know that I'm not the only one. I've never met anybody else who had such complications from the pill. Finally, I should point out that you should do some research on post tubal complications. Many doctors poo-poo this (don't get me started on the disrespect accorded to women by many gynecologists), but in fact, there are some women who have had to have their tubals reversed because of the tremendous problems they were having (and insurance paid for it because of this, so obviously, some doctors know of this). Most women have no problems, however.

Answer 5

About 70% of women who undergo a tubal reversal will have at least 1 tube reconn reconnected. Of those who get the use of 1 or both tubes back about half go on to get pregnant. Of those, 6% are ectopic and must be terminated. The current rate of success for IVF is about 30%. Insurance probably won't pay for either. If it were me, I would try the tubal reversal first.

Answer 6

Tube reversal is not that great in terms of success rate. Also, you end up with a very high ectopic pregnancy complication rate.

Safest way to have more kids would be adoption. Good luck.
