After Tubal Ligation: Trying to Conceive

Over 7,000 women have undergone tubal ligation reversal at A Personal Choice. For many the hardest decision was choosing to have tubal reversal surgery.

Many-women-will-conceive-after-tubal-reversalTubal reversal provides excellent chances at pregnancy and many of our reversal patients will become pregnant. Our pregnancy statistics show approximately 70% will become pregnant over time. Yet many of our patients will not become pregnant immediately after surgery and obtaining a successful pregnancy, for some, may take several years.

The tubal reversal experts of A Personal Choice would like to provide some helpful advice on how to become pregnant after reversal surgery.

After Tubal Reversal: Take A Multivitamin

After tubal ligation reversal, women can ensure a healthy pregnancy by monitoring their nutrition, eating a healthy diet, and taking a daily multivitamin. One of the nutrients critical to a successful pregnancy is folic acid. Research studies demonstrate taking a daily dose of 400 micrograms of folic acid will greatly reduce the risk of pregnancy birth defects and miscarriage. Taking a multivitamin every day is  good pregnancy insurance.

Tubal Reversal And Smoking: Stop!

Cigarette smoking is a habit, which has conclusively been shown to be very harmful in pregnancy. The substances found in cigarette smoke cause poor healing and may cause poor healing of the tubes after reversal surgery. Women who smoke  during pregnancy have more miscarriages, preterm births, placental abruptions, and smaller babies. Stopping smoking is the best thing any woman can do for her health and her pregnancy. The same goes for consumption of alcohol.

After Tubes Reversed: Optimize Medical Problems

Consulting with your doctor before or after reversal surgery is a very good idea if you have medical problems. The most common medical problems, which can cause problems during conception, are diabetes and thyroid disease.

Women with poor control of their blood sugar are more likely to miscarry or have fetal birth defects. Women with poorly controlled thyroid disease are also likely to have problems conceiving. Good control of blood sugars and thyroid disease is critical to having healthy conception and pregnancy.

After Tube Reversed: Evaluate  Medications

pregnancy-after-tubal-reversal-occurs-70%-of-timeIf you are on prescription medications then it is advisable you consult with your doctor prior to becoming pregnant. Some prescriptions medications can be harmful to a pregnancy and can cause pregnancy miscarriage or birth defects. Medications to be concerned about are certain antibiotics, blood pressure, seizure, and blood thinning medications.

A consult with your doctor to discuss medications before becoming pregnant is advisable prior to conceiving.

After Tubes Untied: Monitor Ovulation

Irregular ovulation is the most common problem faced by many patients after tubal ligation reversal. Many women will develop irregular ovulation (irregular egg release) as they become older or as they gain weight. The most visible sign of irregular ovulation is erratic periods. If a woman is skipping periods then eggs are not being release reliably and consistently. Irregular ovulation can make conceiving very difficult because it is harder to predict ovulation to best time sexual intercourse.

We recommend using ovulation predictor test kits after tubal reversal to increase the chance of conceiving every month. If ovulation is not being documented then a consult with your doctor to determine the cause is recommended.

Pregnancy After Tube Untied: Are Tubes Blocked?

Most women will become pregnant within a year after their tubes are untied; however, some may require longer becoming pregnant. When all factors are ideal the chance of becoming pregnant with intercourse on the day of ovulation is about 8-10% for that month. Therefore, we recommend our patients wait 12 months before deciding to have an HSG x-ray to determine if their tubes are blocked.

In our experience, approximately 5% of patients will have a least one tube blocked after tubal reversal surgery. Most of our patients will have open tubes after reversal surgery.

After Reversal: Semen Analysis?

Sometimes ovulation will be regular and tubes will not be blocked. Although male infertility can contribute to a couple’s infertility 50% of the time, most men will have normal semen counts. We encourage all patients to consider a semen analysis and especially if the male has not fathered any children or has serious medical problems.

If conception has not occurred after a year, ovulation has been documented, and the tubes are open then we advise a semen analysis. Occasionally a low sperm count can be identified as the possible cause when all other factors have been evaluated.

Pregnancy After Tubes Untied

Tubal reversal offers women the ability to become pregnant naturally and every month.

After-tubes-untied-many-patients-become-pregnantSince tubal reversal restores the natural ability to become pregnant, women also have to endure the natural challenges to pregnancy.

Most of these challenges can be overcome with a positive outlook, healthy lifestyle changes, ovulation monitoring, and consultation with a doctor.

Many women will have success conceiving after tubal reversal, but this does not mean pregnancy will occur  immediately or quickly for all women.
