Trouble Having Another Baby

Im sorry you are having to go through this at such a young age. It must be very hard. I know you could have your tubes reversed and maybe have that chance to have a child. You could always adopt. Or you could look into surrogacy. There are wonderful women out there that could help you have your own child through gestational surrogacy. Or, if you don't want to go through the process of egg retrival, you could look into traditional surrogacy. Go to www.surromomsonline.com if you want to look into it more, its a wonderful option to having your own child instead of having the surgery to reverse the tubal ligation.

I had my tubes tied 7 yrs ago when I was 27. They used hulka clips. I had surgery yesterday and had them removed and my tubes put back together. In Iowa it cost me $6600.00 to have this done. I know prices can run anywhere from $5500 to $10,000 to get this done depending on the state you have it done in. How were yours tied? I was told that I have an 85-90% reversal rate. Depending on how yours were done, will determine your reversal rate. If your chances are low then IFV might be a solution and I think some insurace carriers cover that. Hope that helps.

I would like to offer my two cents, but I can't get passed the "was forced in to having my tubes tide" Can you explain that further?

I see one person mentioned surrogacy, but you can still have and carry your own babies. Really, I have no idea which would be the "cheapest fix" as you put it, as I'm sure they both will cost you a lot of money that insurance likely won't pay for (but I could be wrong on that).

Even if you don't have the process reversed, you can get pregnant through in vitro fertilization (I would think that having the tubal ligation reversed would be less expensive though). You should talk with your OB/GYN to weigh all of your options, especially since you were "forced into having your tubes tied," since I don't really know the reason for that...if that was for medical reasons that brings a lot more issues into play.

Good luck to you!
