Enough Uterine Lining Required For Tubal Reversal?
Apr 16, 2014
I had the NovaSure procedure done over three years ago. I had my tubes tied eight years ago. I'm getting married and my fiancé, who doesn't have children, would like to have a baby. I still have a period, however, it's minimal to none (only brown discharge for four to five days). I've heard that doctors won't reverse your tubes unless you have enough of a uterine lining. Last ultrasound I had showed a good lining. I'm not sure if it was enough of one to sustain a pregnancy. I really want to know what my options are.

I had bloodwork and an ultrasound performed because I had some post period bleeding for the first time last month and I've been having some digestive issues (constipation, general discomfort but not consistent).
I met with the gyn today and he is recommending a uterine biopsy because my uterine wall is 7mm. No other remarkable findings on the ultrasound. He is calling me menopausal because my estradiol was 17 and my FSH was 75. However, I am still getting my period, albeit they are not regular (24 days, 29 days, 32 days but still monthly).
How can I be menopausal if I am still getting a period? The blood test was performed on day 12 of my cycle and the u/s was done on day 20.
Also, I had an u/s done back in November but no blood test and my lining was 9.2.
I am confused and thinking of getting a second opinion. I really don't want to do an invasive biopsy if it isn't absolutely necessary.

I had a Tubal Reversal 02/22/2013. I had 9cm on right tube and 10 cm on left. My cycles are average 23 days. My first cycle came 02/23/2013 and lasted until 02/27/2013. We started TTC my second cycle which came 03/18/2013 and lasted until 03/22/2013. Both of my cycle were normal after surgery. We had intercourse 03/20, 03/22, 03/24, 03/26, 03/27, and 03/28. I believe I ovulated on the 27th (according to an ovulation calendar) I am now 10 DPO and I have been experiencing some pain on my left side, cramps that come and go as well as bloating, headaches, heartburn, slight heaviness in lower abdomen, a weird metal taste that comes and goes, really moody, unable to have a BM , tender itchy breast, dull lower back pain, a slight runny nose, and itchy skin mainly on my lower stomach. I do not remember having any of these symptoms with my last pregnancy 9 years ago, and I did not have these symptoms with my last cycle. I also know I am at risk for a tubal pregnancy. My next period is not due until 04/10. I took a first response pregnancy test this morning and it showed a FAT negative :'( . MD said its prob ovulation and constipation, but I just feel pregnant. Can anyone please give me some advice?

Just looking for advice. I just had a tubal reversal Sx done on 3/5 and am currently on the the mend as I ran into an infection. That aside, the Dr. said my tubes were "beautiful" and the reconnection of both was successful. I'm 39 and my new, (almost 2 years) husband in 41. He has no children of his own; I have three ages 15 to 18. Just looking for experiences like mine and if pregnancies were successfully produced through a tubal reversal.

I had my tubal reversal last wed JUNE 29th. Since then I have the worst swelling and a very nasty hard long bump under my incision. It looks like some sort of a healing ridge! I was just wondering if anyone else has gotten this and does it go away?

I am wondering if any of you have this and what the threshold is before a surgery is required. I do not have any heart valve issues. What are your experiences with abdominal (and thoracic) aortic aneurysms?

I first want to start out by saying that I had a tubal ligation after my twins were born 12/13/2006. I have four living children and one still birth.
My period was due to start on Tuesday (December 4th) it is now Friday (December 6). On Monday I had some very light spotting for a few hours and then it stopped. My period has yet to start. I know that there is a rare chance that the ligation did not take. How long should I wait before calling my ob doctor? What things should I keep an eye out for? Any suggestions would be great as this is scary to me since I know that there still is the chance for a tubal pregnancy and do not want to think of my children having to go through life without me.

OK, not weight loss exactly, but a reduction in size!
I'm down to have uterine artery embolization this year, but I look at various forums and women have said they've noticed 'a slight reduction'.
I had wished to go back to my usual dress size - naturally this is not a priority for the NHS, which I fully understand, but what is the best procedure to have the 'bulge' completely disappear?
Asked the hospital, but they were quite rude about it all. Is there anyone who's had this procedure done? Did it completely go?

Worried. Going in next week for D&C and hysteroscopy. (Whatever that is)
Had a biopsy 2 years ago and came out ok. I am 60 years old with prolapse
level 3 cystocele. Was getting bladder infections every 3 months and seems like I was always on antibiotics which I am starting to get immune to. Not sure if I should be getting a D&C or just another biopsy. No bleeding at all. Also they are giving me General ANESthesia which don't know if this is the right choice. Also how long do you need to stay home after before returning to work? REally appreciate your help. Scared!!! May need repair lift or hysterectomy. Not sure which one or if should take out ovaries of leave in and just do lift. Just don't know what to do. Don't like pessaries

So, having your period does not always mean your lining has shed? For instance, if you didn't ovulate?

Does anyone know if a thick endometrial wall can thin out even if you don't get any bleeding? Like a mentioned in a past post, my endometrium thickness is 15mm, it's been almost a month since it was last seen on the US. Is it possible it could have shrunk?

I am a 44 year old woman and believe I have just entered menopause or perimenopause. I went to my gyno for my well woman checkup and she said she was concerned bc my lining was so thick (25 mm). I had not had a period in 2 months, but just starting leaking a watery fluid. She was immediately fearful of cancer, but I have recently had my period. If my lining is no longer as thick, should I still be worried about cancer?

I've been having bleeding in between periods since July but also had it a couple of years ago for about 6 months. I had smear tests etc back In 2011 all was ok and I was told I Had an erosion too. I also had a pelvic Scan and the uterus lining was 15mm.
But I was told all was ok. Bleeding Stopped but then it started about 5 Months ago it's light and usually starts a few days after my period has Finished and lasts a few days.
I went to the doctors a couple Of weeks ago the doctor looked at my Cervix and she said that was clear then she booked me in for another pelvic Scan I had that 2 weeks ago and the Uterus lining was 19mm I've got to See a gynae tomorrow and I've been Told I'll probably have to have a hysteroscopy or d&c.
I'am 35 I have 9 children 7 normal. Births and 2 by c-section. I have been so worried and keep going Online and that's gets me even more Worried.

I am a fit, average weight 32 year old woman. Roughly 5 or 6 years ago, I began spotting blood between periods. This would occur after exercise sometimes, or maybe after rough bedroom activities. It was only ever a few drops and didn't really bother me.
It has continued since then. My periods also became heavier the past few years. 3 years ago, I thought I should ask my gyn doctor about this, since I was also having vaginal dryness and loss of libido in my 20s.
So, for 3 years in a row, I've had normal paps, and normal transvaginal ultrasounds performed, STDs checked, all with good results except that the lining of my uterus was a bit thick. My doctor never seemed concerned about it, just giving me a blank "Your guess is as good as mine, see you in a year!" face.
This last ultrasound, a month ago, showed the still-thick lining but also some increased blood flow to the area. Now I have to go back for a saline infused ultrasound to see if they can find a polyp, though there is no indication there is one. It's a guess on my doctors part.
I asked her what would happen if there was no polyp, and she said we'd be back at square one.
So, I'd like to know if I should be freaking out right now. Doctors NEVER take my symptoms seriously (I have severe digestive issues, as well) because I LOOK really healthy at a glance, and a couple have actually told me this. I am worried that my doctor is not taking this seriously enough as all the research I've done on my own indicates precancerous possibilities, etc.
I'm not made of money, and pursuing my illnesses freely is no longer an option as I can't afford to shell out money for different doctors all the time. I would like to know, based on your knowledge and/or experience, if you believe I should invest in a second opinion.
I am also open to an elective hysterectomy, which may sound odd, but I do not ever want children so I don't really care for my bothersome reproductive organs that seem to be a ticking timebomb and nothing more for me. Any opinions on that?
