Home & Family Facts and Notes

Through the use of microsurgery a woman can have tubal ligation reversal surgery carried out, which requires that they stay in hospital for only 1 or 2 days. This will then give their body’s sufficient time to recover from the operation. It is also important that for several weeks after the operation they restrict and prevent themselves from carrying out any kind of strenuous physical activity. However when it comes to their ovulation cycles after tubal reversal surgery, many women do not actually understand what is happening with their bodies in this respect.

While being in a rush to get pregnant right away, women having gone through the tubal ligation reversal surgery really should wait till they have had at least two complete cycles to try. It may seem like everything is back to normal quickly but still it is best to wait. It takes about 4 to six weeks for all the incisions both inside as well as outside to heal completely.

In some cases, however, once the surgery has taken place, some women find that they become pregnant soon after their first cycle has taken place. But for many other women this is not the case and sometimes it can take up to 6 months or more before they are able to conceive.

If it has been six months or more and they have not gotten pregnant, then it is best to have a doctor check for other concerns that may be affecting the woman and why she can’t conceive. Sometimes, it comes down to the length of time from the original operation to have the tubes tied. It just seems to be easier for those that have more recently had the original operation than for those who may have had it ten or more years ago.

After six months, the doctor will check the fallopian tubes to check if they are completely open to determine if this is the reason for lack of conception. If they are open, then it’s on to checking for other causes. Many times a woman will find, with help from her doctor, that it is simply the worry about not getting pregnant that is preventing her from conceiving. We all know stress affects our bodies and it can affect this as well.

Sometimes they find that just because they have a period, it doesn’t actually mean that ovulation is taking place. What this means in the end, is that even if they are late, it doesn’t necessarily mean they are pregnant. Any woman with enough years knows that even the smallest upset in patterns and schedules can throw your system and cycles off.

Many doctors once a woman has become pregnant after they have had tubal reversal surgery will want to keep an eye on their patients in case they suffer from tubal pregnancy. This is very rare and only around 3 to 5% of all women who have this particular form of surgery are likely to suffer from an ectopic (tubal) pregnancy.

The best way for a woman to keep track of her cycles after tubal reversal surgery is to use an ovulation prediction kit. This will help her to see exactly when she is actually ovulating and will further help to identify those times when she may well be pregnant. However, if you find that your period is late by at least two days shortly following your operation, it is important that you contact your doctor immediately. They will then be able to carry out a test to see whether you are pregnant or not.
