Location: Manalapan NJ
Date of Tubal Reversal: 6/12/02
Date of Pregnancy Test: 4/22/08
Due Date: 12/30/008

Name: Lisa D.
Location: Monclova Ohio
Date of Tubal Reversal: 5/1/07
Date of Pregnancy Test: 4/19/08
Due Date: January 19th???, 2009
Remarks: I’m not entirely sure how this happened!!! LOL - I must have ovulated right after my period stopped??? I don’t really ‘feel’ pregnant yet, the only reason I tested was because I thought I started bleeding/spotting again 2 days after my cycle stopped. Then it stopped after 2 days and started again 2 days later. I’ve never ever had spotting or any kind of break thru bleeding-except when I was pregnant. Also, I was having pain on my right side that was strong enough to wake me from sleep Friday night. We did the hpt and that line came of fast. We aren’t talking a faint line, like I would have expected on CD16!!!(if any line at all) My Dr. sent us to the Hospital since I was having pain on Rt. side. The pain went away and my hcg level was 549. Although it was too early to see anything, they did an ultrasound anyway. Nothing. I test today for 2nd level. I still have some spotting, not like I did on Saturday. Just playing the waiting game and praying for our miracle. Funny how life changes in a moment! Thanks!!

Remarks: I have had 2 miscarriages and one ectopic (lost my right tube). We weren’t trying because my HSG showed scar tissue even though I did see with my own eyes the dye go all the way through. We weren’t TTC since I was told I didn’t ovulate without Clomid (I have never test positive for ovulation with test sticks or a fertility monitor without being one Clomid). We are in total shock and of coarse overjoyed and scared at the same time. My 1st HCG number at CD 31 was 21 at CD 33 39 (that was 45 hours apart). I will keep you updated.

In April I had what appeared to be a very brief (2 1/2 days) period beginning 4/1. Noticed swollen and tender breast on 4/10. Began my usual ovulation stick test on 4/11. On the morning of 4/13 I took both an ovulation test and a pregnancy test and the pregnancy test came up positive. Noticed some spotting that day. Had a quantitative analysis done at ob/gyn on 4/14 which confirmed the pregnancy. Monday 4/14 Progesterone 3.87 and HCG 144.1. Due to the low numbers I was put on Progesterone suppositories and pelvic rest. Wednesday 4/16 Progesterone 22.25 and HCG 176.8. Today, Friday 4/18 HCG 299.00. I continue daily spotting and remain on Progesterone suppositories. I am scheduled for another quantitative analysis on Monday 4/21.

"I Have Scheduled My Tubal Reversal"

Jennifer a member of the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center Message Board is very excited to share the news that she has finally scheduled her tubal reversal surgery. She states that she is "so excited that I'm almost speechless." Jennifer will be having her tubal reversal surgery with Dr. Monteith in August of this year. Other message board members congratulate Jennifer on her good news and tell her that her surgery will "be here before you know it!"

This is topic I have scheduled my TR in forum Preparing for Tubal Reversal at Tubal Reversal Message Board.

Hey ladies I just wanting to say I FINALLY SCHEDULED MY TR - YAY, Im so excited, Im almost speechless....................I said almost LOL. My TR is August 4, 2008. Jennifer in NC

Posted by PookieStarnes (Member # 11020) on February 27, 2008 03:32 PM:


Hey Jennifer - I remember chatting with you back in the summer before I had my TR. I had mine 12/21/2007 on a Friday.

I read yesterday and you were wondering about recovery time...like I said I had mine on Friday and I went Christmas Shopping that Monday the 24th - Christmas Eve...then did all the going from house to house the next day (and I am 37 years old)-
YOU WILL DO GREAT and be up in no time.
I am so excited for you - I remember when I scheduled I wanted to shout it from the roof tops ...CONGRATS!!!!

Posted by hopefulin2008 (Member # 11297) on February 27, 2008 03:43 PM:


Hi how are you doing? I remember talking to you as well! Yeah I am schudeled for a Monday so Im def hoping by Friday I can manage to go to work. I would have loved to have mine on Friday but since I do payroll on that day it was just out of the question! So have you had any BFP's since your surgery? I am so scared of being put to sleep that is the only thing I am afraid of Im not afraid of the surgery or what it is like after the surgery Im just scared to death to be put to sleep! Im just going to give it all to the LORD and he will see me through! And I know what you mean shouting it from the roof top I cant contain myself at times LOL Jennifer in NC

Posted by PookieStarnes (Member # 11020) on February 27, 2008 03:58 PM:


I have had no BFP - of course we did not even start really trying till this cycle - I wanted to heal and I wanted to see if there was improvement in PTLS. My period is back to being like it was when I was 20 - no cramps, no PMS, no NOTHING....love it!!!

I only have one tube (7cm) so I am on clomid to help me ovulate every month - so I also wanted to see how I was going to re-act to that stuff...it is kicking my tale but I will survive.

It is the best rest you will ever get and you get to sleep for hours later. AWESOME rest. You are monitored during surgery that you should have NO fear but of course that is always easier said than done. I get a little scared just because you always have that little voice in the back of your head reminding you of the what IFs but I sure don't want to be awake for it either.

I'm like you - I just said, 'Lord, take care of me - bring me out if it is your will' - must have been cause here I am still kicking.

I do wish you the best - it will just seem like a long time from today till then ... I remember counting down from 189 days till that day but of course looking back it just seems like it took no time - of course Christmas once seemed like it took forever to get here too but now that flys by too.... Enough rambling - GOOD LUCK and LONG TUBES!!!!

Hi Jennifer,

Congratulations on scheduling and we look forward to seeing you in August!
Sarah

Hey Jennifer,
Congratulations for scheduling your date. It will be here before you know it. I am excited for you. I had my surgery on 2/13/08 and came home to an 8 yr. old who didn't realize that anything had taken place. We were amazed at how well I felt and my husband was really amazed when I walked out of the recovery room. I am sure you will do fine. I returned to work on Friday for a couple of hours after surgery on Tuesday. Good luck!!!
Posted by Tawnee1972 (Member # 11007) on February 27, 2008 05:57 PM:

Jennifer - YAY you did it! Congratulations to you!!! Did you schedule with Dr. Montieth?

Scheduleing Tubal Reversal Surgery

How Far In Advance Do You Need To Contact Dr. Berger In Order To Schedule Surgery For Tubal Reversal?

Women who choose Dr. Gary Berger as their tubal reversal doctor are anxious to schedule surgery for the first available surgery dates. Julia Smith, Nurse Administrator at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center, responds that appointments typically fill up arond 4 weeks ahead of time with Monday and Friday appointments the first choice for most women. If a patient has flexibility regarding the day of the week they choose for their appointment, tubal reversal surgery can sometimes be scheduled within 3 weeks.


The following is from the Tubal Reversal Message Board:

Posted by nytesong (Member # 12015) on February 03, 2008 01:08 PM:

Here's my dilemma... my husband says that we can do this in april.... but we won't be able to pay for it until probably sometime in march....(in process right now of selling and buying a house, so we want to get that wrapped up first)
My question is this: how far in advance do you need to contact in order to schedule. i want to pay in full right away when i do schedule... and i really don't want to schedule and then have to wait like 6 months! I've already been waiting for 1.5 years to be able to have this done.

I'd love if anyone can share how the scheduling worked for them.

Thanks.

Posted by sweeet_mommie (Member # 11471) on February 03, 2008 02:14 PM:

Hey, well if you look on the website to my understanding you can schedule right away but it has to be paid in full at least 3 weeks before your surgery and all your tests and paper work needs to be forwarded to Dr. Berger's office asap.
Hope I was helpful

Posted by Julia Smith, RN (Member # 10) on February 03, 2008 03:49 PM:

Hi, Nytesong.
There are two options for scheduling/paying for tubal reversal surgery.
If you would like the discounted fee, you would send full payment of the $5900 the day after you call us to schedule the appointment. If you are paying the standard fee of $6900, you can schedule and hold an appointment by sending us $250 and the balance of $6650 would be sent three weeks prior to the surgery date.

The Spring months fill up faster than other months, so April may be nearly full if you wait until late in March to call. If you call the first part of April, Monday and Friday appointments may be full, be we should be able to get you scheduled if you have some flexibility regarding the day of the week.

Our goal is to help you schedule for a time that is convenient for you, so stay in touch over the next month and we will keep you updated on April appointments!

Julia Smith RN

I know how you are feeling. We wanted March and we will not have all our money till February 15th. The day we wanted only has one more opening. If we can not get it than we will have to wait till June or July when the kids are out for the summer. I wish you all the best on setting your date. Miranda
