Tubal Reversal and Pregnancy Immediately Following

For many just having the tubal reversal surgery is a dream come true. The research to make the decision can take months itself. Understanding that there is no guarantee for pregnancy no matter what infertility treatment is being used seems to be the hardest information to come to terms with.
Heading into the tubal reversal journey takes courage, hope and patience. Many state that just the wait for surgery day is enough to drive some to become very impatient. Women will talk about finding things to do to help pass the time.
Although pregnancy may take a while after surgery the couples are planning ahead. Women will begin tracking their monthly cycles so they know when they ovulate. By using tools such as ovulation predictor kits and basal body tempting they are becoming educated. The more they understand their body the better they will be able to calculate the most fertile time each month.
By the time the surgery date arrives the excitement is something that is hard to hide. For some it is tough because they do not want to share the news with too many people. They begin questioning if they have made the right decision. Once surgery is over they know they have.
An amazing event does take place. Although it may not happen often, it does happen. Couples will find out they are expecting as little as two weeks after surgery. How does this happen?
What happens in these cases is the couple will have intercourse the night before surgery. If ovulation is happening just as the surgery is completed it opens the pathway for the egg and sperm to unite. While the patient is healing and recuperating she has no idea she is pregnant! And yes, this does happen to a few couples. Although the couples are thrilled they are surprised at the same time. Not many couples expect this to happen and certainly do not think to take a pregnancy test fourteen days following surgery.
Having a positive pregnancy test two weeks after surgery may not be common but it does happen. Many tubal reversal patients will hear this and wonder if it is true. As long as the egg and sperm can unite or meet there is every possibility of pregnancy.
Heading into the tubal reversal journey is going to be filled with anxiety and questions. Many will be second-guessing their decision and this is very normal. Is pregnancy possible after a tubal ligation? It certainly is with tubal ligation reversal!
