: :? I HAD MY TUBAL LITIGATION DONE IN 2004, I WAS 21. I DIDNT DO ANY THING BUT THE BANDS... NO BURNING, CUTTING OR ANY OF THAT. MY DOCTOR SAID THAT BEING SO YOUNG THERE WAS A HIGH CHANCE THAT THEY WOULD UNDO THEMSELVES BY TIME I WAS THIRTY. WELL I WAS A SINGLE MOM THEN AND KNOW I'M MARRIED AND WANTING TO HAVE A BABY WITH MY HUSBAND. I CALLED MY OLD DOCTOR TO ASK HER ABOUT THE ODDS AND NOW SHE SAYS SHE NEVER SAID THAT AND THE ODDS ARE VERY UNLIKELY. I HAVE HAD A MILLION PREGANCY SCARES, A TUBAL, AND A COUPLE OF MISCARRIAGES. I FEEL LIKE IM PREGANT NOW. I DONT WANT TO GET MY HOPES UP. THE REVERSALS AND INVITROS ARE A LITTLE TO EXPENSIVE FOR ME...... SO WHAT DO YOU THINK THE ODDS ARE?
To the guest who had the tubal, on meds and pregnant. Congratulations. I to had a tubal almost 12 years ago, I was in an abusive relationship and didnt want to put another child in danger. I got out of that relationship a long time ago and am remarried. We both want a baby. I am praying every day that if it is Gods will it will happen. Your story gives me hope, I am glad that you shared your story with us. I hope you have a beautiful baby, there is nothing better. God bless you all.
Hey, everyone I had a tubal ligation about two years ago, and i read some the story. I am about a week late. What should I do?
I am 38 yrs old. I had my tubes tied 11 1/2 yrs ago. I have been under alot of stress lately and some life changes. But for the past two months I have been having some strange periods. The last one started with light pink/red spotting then flood for one day then stopped, lasted for 3 days and I normally go for 5-7 days. Last week I started spotting the light pink/red again and it had only been a week and a half since the last time. I have been experiencing fatigue, weight gain like crazy, sore breasts, clear liquid from nipple when squeezed, swelling of feet, legs, hands, and pain in sides, back, and lower abdomine. I took a test last week and it showed negative. I am worried that I might be pregnant. What should I do at this point?
It is possible that you could be pregnant although I doubt it with your tubes tied. Do you think you could take a pregnancy test in a week to check? If you actually are pregnant, you could've tested too early. Can you let me know how it goes?
TO GUEST, I AM GLAD I READ YOUR POST, BECAUSE RECENTLY I JUST FOUND OUT THAT I WAS PREGNANT TOO, AND I HAD A TUBALIGATION RIGHT AFTER I HAD MY 3RD CHILD, AND I THOUGHT THAT I WAS THROUGH, BUT I GUESS I AM NOT. I WAS LIKE YOU AND THOUGHT IT COULD NOT HAPPEN TO ME, I WASN'T FEELING WELL, BASICALLY MY BREAST WERE TENDER, I WASN'T REALLY KEEPING UP WITH WHEN MY CYCLE WOULD COME, BECAUSE I WAS LIKE WHY BOTHER BECAUSE MY TUBES WERE TIED. SO I WENT TO THE STORE AND BOUGHT A TEST JUST TO EASE MY MIND AND THE RESULTS CAME BACK, ALL I COULD SAY WAS "YOU GOT TO BE ******* ME" I CALLED MY GYN DOCTOR AND TOLD HER AND SHE DID THE SAME BY TAKING A BLOOD TEST AND DOING THE ULTRA SOUND AND SHE TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT IN MY TUBES BUT IT WAS IN THE UTERUS, AND SHE SAID CONGRATULATIONS... I STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN OVER IT TOTALLY, BUT LIKE YOU SAY EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON, ALTHOUGH WE MAY NOT KNOW THE REASON, BECAUSE HE WILL NOT PUT MORE ON YOU THAN WHAT YOU CAN BARE. SO I AM CURRENTLY 9 WEEKS WAS 7 WHEN I FOUND OUT. BUT I AM GLAD TO KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE, AND THE WE BOTH SAY AND BELIEVE THERE IS A REASON FOR EVERYTHING, EVEN IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER FOR THE REASON. SO CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU AND WISH YOU THE BEST..
I also had a tubal ligation done 12 years ago. Been feeling fluish, tender breasts, nausea, tired all the time. Took a pregnancy test today, came up positive! I have a doctors appt on Monday to find out if it's truly positive. We have been trying for 3 years and didn't think it could or would ever happen. This is the first time in 12 years I have felt 'pregnant'. He is truly excited and is looking forward to Monday. I'll post when I find out for sure!
Ok here's the case. My last period was Dec. 05 2009 and here it is Jan. 06, 2010 still no period. Now another thing I got my tubes tied after my fourth baby girl on Jul. 13, 2009 and I was wondering could by any chance I be pregnant? Can someone please help me out with this?
I am 46 years old, had a tubal over eighteen years ago, i have been on lunar cycle for as long as i have had my periods. At this point i am three weeks late, so... will use an in home test today and see, more than likely menopause but who knows. I guess i will shortly...
I am so HAPPY for you!! I got my tubes tied and burned after my 4th child also. I wish I had not, but the pregnancy put so much on me this go around i thought I was finished haveing babies. I want another one so bad, and having been praying that I have one. I am not late yet, tomorrow I should start but I have been really tired, realy moody and have a headache that will not go away. Also my zoloft has not been working like it ahould and that is what happened last tme I was prego. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR BABY!!!
I had my third child a little over a year ago. I found out that we were pregnant again when my second child was only 2 months old. I new I wanted to have a tubal....well I new I needed to. This was going to be our third child and we decided that I would be a stay at home mom after he was born which meant losing an income, so getting pregnant for a 4th child you have been really difficult financially. My OB wanted me to wait to have the surgery until 6 weeks after I delivered. Oh yeah, my third was born one and a half months premature ( but healthy and weighed 7 1/2 pounds as a preemie) and so for a little over one month out of the year, my second and third child are the same age!! I didn't want to wait to have the surgery, because of the fact that I became preggers so fast after my second child was born. So, he gave in and I had my tubes tied before I was discharged from having my third child. Here is the part that drives me bonkers.... I have regular periods, but I think that secretly wish that I missed one and found out that I was pregnant. I catch myself constantly looking at the stats of pregnancy after tubals, like I hope that the percentage will have risen since the last time that I checked. My husband and I planned like crazy for our second, my first was a surprise ( a good surprise, but a surprise none the less). I ate, slept and drank getting pregnant. My clock was audibly ticking. I am feeling this way again %-) I think that because I had my tubes tied because I felt that I had to, rather than because I wanted to, makes it really hard sometimes. So, I know that God has a plan but, ......."God, if you are listening right now, It would be okay if you sent us another precious angel".......... ;-)
Wow now i am a little worried. I had my tubes tied on Oct 7,1999 The day my 3rd child was born. I never thought about getting pregnant again. Until the last few days..I have been feeling less than myself for about 2 weeks. pains in my somach, constipation, swelling and tenderness of my breasts and hands and feet... and i am tired and moody as hell. my pants are even a little tighter. I think i will be getting a test today....wish me luck :-D
I have goose bumps right now especially after reading that story. I am 40 and I had my tubes clamped 15 years ago. I am re married and I so desperately want a baby. My husband and I believe in God and he said if it's meant to be and is God's will for us to have a baby then it will happen. We can't afford $3-7000.00 for a reversal or even $10-15000.00 for an IVS. I also am on meds for depression and now have been taking them for about 2 months. For the past month or two my periods have been really weird and I don't know if that is a result of the meds or possible pre menopause. My husband jokes around from time to time when we make love with saying " lets make a baby " even though he knows my tubes are clamped. I was told to take cinnomon on a daily basis, as well as trying red raspberry capsuls to help get pregnant, someone even suggested go back on the pill for a while and then stop taking them to see if I get any results. Every day and night I cry out to God in my prayers for a baby girl for me and a boy for my husband even though I already have two boys. I don't want to doubt that anything is possible, It's just that I've waited so long to finally be married to the man I want to have a child or children with. I am so happy and now have faith knowing there are actuall success stories of women having babies after tubal ligations.
Wow I am surprised with reading all these posts. I had my tubes cute tied and burned almost five yrs ago. I just found out 3 days ago that i am pregnant. I am only 27 but i already have three children (that i love so very much) but i thought that was plenty. I guess God has a fourth planned for our family. I have dealth with so many emotions in the last 3 days i really dont even know how i feel right now. I encourage anyone out there reading this, to rely on God either way, whether you are wanting another child or not. Because what i am learning now is either way he is in control and i better accept that before i go crazy. Good luck and God bless to all!
I am 33yrs old and I have 4 children: 10,9,6, and 4. I had a tubal where they cut and burnt them. I haven't had a period since June 10th. I have frequent urination and fatigue with mild nausea. I took 2 hpt and they both came out negative. I have an appointment tomorrow morning but I am really scared. I have some harsh pain on my left side of my pelvis. I am not sure what to do other than worry until I see my doc tomorrow. Did anyone have these type symptoms?
