Am I Pregnant After Reversing My Tubal Ligation?
A member of the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Message Board asks if it is possible to become pregnant through your left tube if you ovulate from your right ovary? Julia Smith RN responds, “When an egg is released by either ovary, it can be picked up by either tube. It is more likely to be “picked up” by the tube that is on the same side where ovulation occurred, but it is possible through either.” Drs. Berger and Monteith can repair 98% of the women who have had their tubes tied and want to have another baby by untying their tubes. Two thirds of the patients become pregnant in an average of 10 months after the surgery.
