I don’t think that many people know that this proceedure can be done. It is amazing what doctors can do these days.
Danay – You can use the Medical Records Release Form on our website to send to the hospital where your tubal ligation was performed. This form will instruct the hospital to fax your records to us and a nurse will contact you to let you know what tubal ligation method was performed.

LAURIE – At age 29, your chances of becoming pregnant after tubal reversal are over 80% when performed at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center.
I am 29 years old. I only have one ovary and one fallopian tube. I had the Pomeroy procedure done in 2003 where they took approximately 2cm or 1.1 inches of my tube. I have had a cesarian and an ooperectomy, appendectomy and was told that abdominal surgeries can effect success rates for pregnancies. What are the chances of becoming pregnant after tubal reversal? I did not have any complications getting pregnant before I had three children naturally.
