Superior Treatment at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center
Monday, 13 October 2008 1:50 AM
"I wanted to thank everyone for the truly superior treatment that we received during the time that we were at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center. This experience was much more than I had expected. Typically, whenever you are dealing with any type of medical procedures, doctor’s offices, or clinics, there are good things and there are bad things (unfortunately more bad than good). This experience was nothing but positive for my husband and me. Everyone on the staff was welcoming, informative, and comforting. I wish that more people knew about tubal reversal as an option for them and what a positive experience it can be. Thank you, Dr. Berger, for having such a wonderful staff and offering this option to so many couples out there." Rebecca and Jason B.

Date of Pregnancy Test: 10/27/08
Remarks: I went to the ER on 10/27/08 b/c I was hurting in my left ovary about all day. They did blood work, u/s & said I was pregnant. The HCG levels were 121. The DR stated I was about 1-2 weeks preg. So I went on 10/29/08 & had another HCG done. The results were preg with a HCG of 32. My obgyn said it could be a miscarriage. I am going again on 10/31/08 to have another HCG done to see what it is. Could it be that I am having a miscarriage or is it too early to tell? Could the HCG levels fluctuate that much & still be okay? Thanks, Reilda

Remarks: I was very shocked that this would happen soon. My husband and I are very excited.We are very grateful. Now we are just praying for a healthy child.They are saying that i am between 2 and three months. But i was at the hospital for stomach issues and they done a test on sept. 21st, they done a pregnancy test it was negative. So i calculated i am 5 weeks. They say my hcg levels are very high,high enough to show I am that far along. I told them it was not possible. They then stated it may be twins. That could be why my levels are so high. So we will just wait and see. Thank You all very much!!!

Name: Katina F.
Location: Norfolk Virginia
Date of Tubal Reversal: 9/6/2005
Date of Pregnancy Test: 10/14/2008
Due Date: 05/2009
Remarks: This is my 1st pregnancy after tubal reversal. On Sun 10/12 I took a home pregnancy test (positive) & on 10/14 I went to the hospital & got an official pregnancy test (positive). I started spotting the afternoon of Tue 10/14 On Thur 10/16 the spotting had not stopped so I phoned the hospital to see what I should do, they referred me immediately to the ER. At the ER I was given an ultrasound & they were unable to find a fetus. My blood was drawn for a quantitative level test of hcg and I was sent to xray for another ultrasound with a more powerful xray machine. The quantitative test showed my hcg level was over 22,000 (which (I was told) means if a baby was in the womb, they would definitely see it) & the xray showed an abnormality on my right side. Overnight at 2 am on Friday 10/17 I went into surgery to have the fetus removed laparascopically. The doctor reported to my husband and I that when they looked inside they saw I’d bled quite a bit, therefore the doctor made a large incision in my lower abdomen & made the decision to remove the right tube & the right ovary. The right tube was not open & that’s the tube the baby tried to flow through & apparently there was damage to my ovary as well. I return for a follow up appointment on Oct 31.

Date of Pregnancy Test: 10/17/08
Due Date: 6/26/08
Remarks: My OB doctor does not want to see me until November 10th. Do you feel this is fine or should I be seen sooner. He knows about my prior reversal surgery and by Nov. 10th I will be approx. 8 weeks. I feel like I should see him sooner. He also does not want to repeat any betas. My first one was on 10/18 and the level was 84. I’m having another one today only because I demanded to have it. Should I call my OB and insist he does more betas or see me sooner? Please let me know what pregnancy monitoring you suggest. Thank you.
