I happened across this site when I was looking for information on PTLS. Since my TL 2 1/2 years ago, I thought I was going crazy. I have had a range of symptoms. Every doctor I have seen has mentioned anti-depressants (which I tried, and guess what----THEY DON'T WORK)....I am 22 and have 2 beautiful children and a wonderful husband that I thank God for every day. Upon the suggestion of my doctor, while having my second c-section I had my tubes tied. I didn't realize that there could be this kind of complication from the procedure. My sister is expecting a child now, and is planning on having her tubes tied. And believe me, I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure she doesn't. If I had known anything about PTLS there is no way on earth that I would have ever had a TL.
My husband has stuck by me no matter how strange my symptoms have been or no how suddenly they have come on. I honestly don't know how he has put up with me. We've been together for almost 8 years, and I couldn't have made it this long without him.
I prayed to God to help me. And I think all of the information I found is an answer to my prayers. I also found Dr. Berger with Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center on the internet. I have contacted his office, and if all goes well I hope that I will be having a reversal within the year.
I think that it should be mandatory for doctors to inform their patients of all risk and side effects no matter how minor they may think they are. It is our right to have all of the information not just a filtered version. The side effects don't just effect us. They effect our husbands, children, and anyone that we have any sort of relationship with.
I just hope that more women can find out about this before having a TL, so that they can truely make an informed decision on what is right for them.
