I am 32 years old.....

[melissachaparrita]

Hello everyone... I am 32, and I had a tubal ligation when I was about 28 years old. At that time, my son was around 10 years old. However, in 2007, my son died when he was 12 years old in a car crash.

I know that having a tubal ligation was the right decision at that time in my life: I had a ten year old son, decided that I did not want another child left without a father, didn't want to have children that far apart in age, was putting myself through college, had bad reactions to birth control pills and the injections....the list of reasons why I chose the procedure go on and on. I also had decided that I would adopt in the future if I ever wanted to have more children, So when the doctors explained that the procedure was "irreversible", I felt confident in my decision.

All of the "counceling" that they gave me prior to the surgery didn't change my mind either. The problem is that I thought I would always have my son with me, and he was all I needed.

The thought of never having a child of my own is frightening especially now that I am planning on getting married to a man who would like to have children (but who knows the chances are slim). I am a teacher so I do not make a lot of money and time is running out for me as I am in my thirties already.....

Until I found this site, I had been trying to get used to the fact that I may never have a child again, and adoption just doesn't seem like the great idea it once was (besides the fact that it is more expensive). Now I have some hope.


I would like to know as much as I can about this procedure and hear from anyone who has had it done. Help please!

I am so sorry for your loss.

I had my TL in 1997 and my TR in 2009. Even though I have had two chemical I have no regrets at just the chance that Dr. Greene has given us. My DH has no children of his own but I have 2 daughters but really want to add to our family with a couple little ones. I am 34, will be 35 in June and I know how you feel about the age but so many women older have gone on to have healthy babies..

I say go for it, it was the best experience of my life and I feel so lucky to have found Dr. Greene.

I terribly sorry for your loss :(
I am 36. I had my TL in 1999 and my TR in 2008. On June 10th, 2009. I brought into this world an amazing, beautiful little girl. There is 10 years and 3 weeks between my youngest boy and my baby girl!
There are girls through here that I know that are having their second and third TR babies and are in their 40's.
Nothing will ever replace your son, but if another child is what you really wish for, go for it. Lakeshore is a wonderful place to start.
best wishes and good luck!

I'm so sorry that you lost your son. My heart just goes out to you.

I had my tubal reversal surgery done in October 2007 and I don't regret it for one second. I am still trying to have my first TR baby but just having the hope for another child has been a gift.

Please let us know if you have any questions about actually scheduling the surgery or preparing to travel to Lakeshore for your surgery.

Dr Greene and all his staff are wonderful people. They made me feel so at ease. I had the essure and was told it could not be reversed, but Dr. Greene reversed it. While I haven't got pregnant yet, I do have hope that I will. If you have the reversal, just remember it isn't a guarantee that you will get pregnant. However, I think it is the way to go. I am sorry for your loss. If you do decide to have your reversal, I believe that Dr. Greene is the only person who should do it.

I am so very sorry for your loss and my prayers go out to you!

I just turned 40 years old and am 5 weeks pregnant. I had my TL done Dec. of 1995 and TR Feb. 2009. This is my 4th pregnancy and hopefully the keeper!!! I think you should go for it! Dr. Greene is a wonderfully skilled and caring Doctor! I am so glad that I chose to have this done. I have wanted another baby since my son, who is now 14, was 3 years old! I am so thankful for Dr. Greene and his staff! Good luck and God Bless you!
