The journey toward restoring fertility after a previous tubal ligation can be exciting – and sometimes lengthy one - for many couples.
Doing research on the best tubal reversal doctors and the best place for untying tubes can be confusing.
Joy, who had reverse tubal ligation surgery at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center, shares the best part of the her journey with other women on the Tubal Reversal Message Board.
“The best part of this journey for me has been looking
back and see how this has all unfolded from the time I made the
decision to want my tubes reversed to the time my husband and I made our
first payment to just only a week ago when we had our tubal reversal surgery, states Joy. It still is so surreal to me that I am on the other side and I now have options. The
staff at CHTRC has all been nothing short of AMAZING. It’s a journey
that I know will continue and my husband and I are beyond thrilled to
know I may be able to give my husband his first child. I’ve embraced
every moment and will continue to be so thankful for the opportunity Dr. Berger and Dr. Monteith have given me and my hubby.”

I am just wondering -- what has been the best part of your tubal reversal journey so far?

The anticipation...My DH doesn't have biological children of his own and
I have 3. We are so excited to FINALLY be here and I love the look on
his face when he talks about it...like a little boy on Christmas. It is
just so sweet. Im married to a big bad fireman and figured he would like
a little boy to pass on his name. But no, he actually prays for a
little girl to bless us! Obviously though, would be happy with either.
This is our first month TTC and we are praying. I can't wait to make
this amazing husband of mine a daddy.

i think the best part of this journey for me has been being able to look
back and see how this has all unfolded from the time i made the
decision to want my tubes reversed to the time my husband and i made our
first payment to just only a week ago when we had our tr surgery. it
still is so surreal to me that i am on the other side and i now have
options. Of course the staff at CHTRC have all been nothing short of
AMAZING. Its a journey that i know will continue and my husband and i
are beyond thrilled to know i may be able to give my husband his first
child. (As i have 2 of my own). Ive embraced every moment and will
continue to be so thankful for this opportunity CHTRC has given me and
my hubby. Thank you all again

The best part for me was conceiving 2 months after my TR! After going
through so much with the planning and all of the ups and downs to
finally be pregnant is a dream come true and it almost feels unreal! I
am so thankful for everyone at CHTRC for making this possible for my
husband and I. Congrats and good luck to all the ladies on the journey
as well.

The staff, hotel and how quickly everything happened was great. Other than that, nothing.

Everything was wonderful! I was most scared of the IV but when the nurse
did it, it was super quick and she nailed it pain free! I was so
impressed! My husband brags to people about the great IV job and how
professional and caring Dr. B is. DH was skeptical about the whole thing
but afterwards seen we were in good hands. The hotel was awesome and a
huge plus! The only complaints is the travel with the airport but there
isn't much anyone can do about that. We ended up driving back home and
was better. I would drive around the world to have my TR done at CHTR!

Tubal reversal surgery gave me hope again - hope for having a baby after
having my tubes tied. Before having my tubal reversed, I felt like I
was at a dead end. Now I know that I have a chance of becoming pregnant
naturally every month since my tubes have been repaired. Just this
fact alone makes me feel more excited when I wake up each day.
