questions?

[bells09]

I know that this group is for people who have conceived after tubal. I have not but I do have a question. I am 32 I am a proud mother & wife who has been married for 15 years. I was very young when I got married we have 2 beautiful children together who were 18 mths apart.I had my tubal ligation after my 2nd child was delivered & I was 19. I have now become acquainted with several 35 -40 ish women who had their tubals in their late 20's to mid 30's & are pregnant. I thought this was a fluke a rare thing.
My question is are my odds of getting pregnant again REALLY high or nonexistant? Dr.'s act like it is an oddity & think i'm crazy for asking. At this point my tubes have been tied 13 years & at age 40 they will have been done 21 years. I would LOVE to have a baby again now,not sure I want to go through the reversal or IVF to have one but really am excited to think it can happen . Im a little concerned about having a baby at 40 though my kids will be 21 & 22 then thats scary.   Please tell me am I getting my hopes up for no reason? Is there a way to tell how my tubal looks? I would rather be completely informed of the possibilities.

You can request your surgical records from your doctor. That is what I did as we were gonna try for a Tubal Reversal several years ago and when I got the records from my OB doc he had pictures of the actual tubes and I got to see them. I sent them in to the Doc who I had chosen to do the reversal and he sent me back a report telling me that I had enough tube left on the right side to reconstruct it, but the left side was too short. So it would be a long shot given the fact he only thought one of my tubes was repairable so we never went ahead with the surgery. But at least you would know.
