My husband and I want to have another baby in the future. Is it possible to undo the fact that my tubes are tied? If so, are my chances of getting pregnant the same?

The chances of getting pregnant after a reversal is fairly high. Of course it depends on several different factors. One being the type of tubal you had. Success rates very from 30% up to 80%.
You can read more about the surgery and the different types of tubals(and the success rate after a reversal of each type) here... http://www.tubal-reversal.net/
Hope that helps. Good Luck!

It is possible but depending on the procedure used to get your tubes tied in the first place will determine whether you have better chances of conceiving after a reversal. If you are questioning whether or not to get a tubal I would really think about it before going with it since you think it can be reversed. Reversal does not guarantee a success. Also it is extremely expensive and most insurance companies will not cover reversals.

Healthy women under 30 with at least 5 cm (about 2 inches) of tube and who have children with their current husband, have a 90% or better chance of having another child after tubal reversal.
The success of this surgery depends on factors such as the length of tube, sperm counts and other fertility factors. Although pregnancy rates are around 90%, live birth rates can be much lower depending on various factors. When all else is healthy, the live birth rate are greater than 80% with tubes of 5 cm (about 2 inches) but are less than 5% with tubes shorter than 3 cm (about 1 inch) of tube. Short tubes have a low live birth rates because the egg moves though the tube too rapidly and pregnancies miscarry. With short tubes, in-vitro fertilization (IVF) or adoption is a better answer than tubal surgery for fertility. The success rate is also related your age, weight gain since your last pregnancy, your health, your husband's health and any other medical factors.

It can be reversed, but I think the chances of conceiving are lower than they would be if you never had it done. A vasectomy for him in the future may be better if you do end up having yours reversed. That way it gives you a break and if you change your minds again, is is easier. Good luck if you guys decide to go that route! :-)

Tubes tied is totally reversible. If you had them tied and burned it is not reversible.
Good luck!

It can be reveresed but its very complex and chances of conciving aterwards are lower than normal.
Why on earth did you take such a drastic step when you weren't sure?

Insurance will not cover a reversal.
