Here are some statistics....and not judgements!  :)\nThe success rate for reopening the tubes is over 90 percent, and approximately 70 percent of patients have become pregnant by one year or more after the procedure.  The pregnancy rate varied by type of original tubal ligation performed, tubal lengths after repair, and a woman's age.  http://www.fertilityanswers.com/tubal_ligation_reversal.htm\n\nReanastomosis in appropriately selected candidates usually results in patency (opening) of the reconnected Fallopian tubes in more than 85 percent of the cases. A pregnancy rate of 70 to 75 percent in the first year is anticipated. http://parenting.ivillage.com/ttc/0,,46df-p,00.html\n\nWomen under the age of 40 who have a tubal reversal through the traditional surgical methods have a 70% to 80% pregnancy success rate, with conception usually occurring during the first year after the procedure. Women who have microsurgery done have a slightly higher success rate, with about 90% of women becoming pregnant within one year of the procedure. However, tubal ligation success rates tend to decline with a woman’s age although they are still better than IVF pregnancy rates.  http://www.epigee.org/guide/tl.html

I did it 3 yrs ago this December.  Scars look different, depends on how large you are and what you go down to. I was told I'd probably be a C (small, average or full C, but a C), but I'm a small D.  But I was a 36G or larger on a size 6 or 8 size body, that is a lot.  I had back pain, shoulder pain, etc.  Mine was covered by medical ins.   It was day surgery (8 hrs in and out total) and they took off a total of about 3.5 lbs of tissue between the two.  Scarring is inevitable and I scar easily. So I couldn't fairly say what it is like. They had to do the most comprehensive reduction because of my size so my incisions go pretty far onto the side of my torso.  I had a friend who had it done and she showed me her scars 5 yrs after so I could have an idea and I could **barely** see them, her incision scars were much smaller and shorter. Another friend did it and the incisions were far less than what I had, hers looked way better one week after she had it done(she showed me).  I'd do it again in a heartbeat for the confidence I finally have and "feeling within the realm of normal" for a woman's figure.  It's life altering.  I feel attractive now, not googled at by men. and scowled at by women.    What size are you now?

why don't you ask your teacher? I find it very disturbing that the person that drew my blood the other day may have been taught how to do it by someone on yahoo. Gee whats next a Dr. asking the best way to perform a heart transplant.

I had one in high school - had to have it burned out - it takes a little while to heal as anything does - probably depends on how extensive the surgical procedure was - if you're like me, you'll be really freaky about trying to be sure you don't get another one

A trip to the Doc will help in more ways than one. Especially if its been a while since you were at the Doc last. maybe your leftside tube is blocked, cause you should have pain on both sides at one time or another. Or chaos if you have PMS on top of that.

ok first are you peeing blood?second did they give you anti-biotics to prevent infection? when i had mine put in they gave me anti-biotics to prevent infection and they also set me up with a follow up appointment 3-4 weeks later.some of what your saying does sound normal.i bleed for a few days after i had mine put in and i had cramping.from my experience i would say dont worry unless if you are in so much pain you cant take it.the thing is there is something new in your body and it will take some time for your body to adjust it.i had mine done in june of this year and im just starting to get used to it.so give it some time and make a follow up appointment.

I think you should go back to your Doc and ask him all the questions you have asked here, get him to explain it all to you and try going to a Well Woman clinic, why you should go to a gynecologist is beyond me, wrong end for a start, why worry as you are, get to the Doc and get your self checked and ASK those questions again  !!!

It is possible for your body to go into something similar to menopause when you get your tubes tied. You should talk to your doctor, they will most likely offer you hormones, similar to birth control, to get your body back on track. And don't listen to the moron who says you can't have a period after your tubes are tied. This only keeps your egg from passing through the tube to the uterus.

I have ovarian cysts some have ruptured previously I do need to have surgery I can't tell you what long term damage your body might have only a Dr can do that, but I can tell you I had 4 Dr's tell me because of a tilted uterus I could never get pregnant(my daughter turns 17 in Dec.) Have faith in the healing power of your body you will be amazed! I will be 48 this Oct!

Why cant you tell her whats going on. Get a doctors note or something. What is she supposed to think if she has no explantions. You are wrong not  informing her. All she see's is your work proformance going down the tubes. maybe she would cut you some slack if she new ther ewas a medical issiue and you were going to lose the baby because its in your tube. This is a serious condition and if not treated soon you could lose your tube if it bursts and posiably risk your life and the lifes of any other children. I would talk to her right away and have some medical papers or your Dr. phone number to bacl you up.

If your tubal was a "cut and tie" no, if they did a crush and clamp a maybe, the reversal would be allot more involved and expensive, probably not covered by insurances and not most doctors would even attempt.  But it's a question you need to discuss thoroughly with your personal physician.

AHHHHHHHHH! I'm not alone! I am 32, I've had my tubes tied for 10 years. The last 5 years my cycle has been so out of wack! I went 3 months with no period, thought I was that 1 in a million to get pregnant. I talk to my doctor, and believe it or not, I am in the first stages of menopause!!! I have to take a hormone pill to bring my period down if I'm late. My mom also started in her 20's. She was totally finished in her 40's.\nI would definitly see a doctor though, it could be a number of things.\ngood luck!

Before I had my hysterectomy, I was asking that exact same question.  Both of my sisters had already had their surgeries, and our mother had to have one, as well, when she was pretty young.  I had mine in June of 2006, shortly before I turned 36 years old.  They were able to do mine vaginally, and they were able to save my ovaries, so I was lucky.  However, my mother and my sisters had to be cut open.  I had already been through all of the pain from a C-Section, so I was pleased to find out that they were able to do mine vaginally.  It takes less time to heal, but you absolutely need to wait until the doctor says that you are off of pelvic rest before you return to business as usual with your spouse.  BUT, let me tell you; rest assured that your sex life will be every bit as enjoyable as it was before.  Mine has been even better because I use to hurt all of the time until I had my surgery.  I had already had my tubes tied, so it didn't make any difference for me as far as not having to worry about birth control; on the contrary, my oldest sister, who is now 40, has really enjoyed not having to worry about that part.  I was concerned in the beginning that it might not feel as good to my husband, but he said that he can't tell any difference, and we still have mind blowing orgasms!  You'll do just fine; just let yourself heal, first.

Yea, mine ruptured 7 weeks prior to surgery. I almost died from the infection. If they need removed, gett'em out.

I think you should call your gynecologist or doctor and ask them, it could be a number of things.  It's better to be safe than sorry.
