firstly i dont post very well so i apoligise , i had my son 8 weeks ago and was steralized at the same time , i had decided this early on in pregnancy was never counselled and i know it sounds mad but never really thought much about it only that near the end i was going totell them not to do it , well they did and ever since i have been so sad i want it reversed i have been told since it was done by diathermy and have at christmas got a letter from my consultant to tell me , not o wadte money as only 5 per cent chance i have loked into going private but have been quite upset with consultant as he said they were going to use clips i have now been told consultant wants to see me can anyone give me some advice many thanks . xxxx

This site has a good discussion group that can give you lots of advice and support

thank you xxxx

hello alex, i have had a reversal, i had my tubes cut 12 years ago. even when tubes have been clipped, sometimes they get damaged anyway, they will still have to cut them to sew them back together. i now have only one tube working which im very grateful for. i had 4 kids before i was sterilised, this was done during my 4th c section, so i was scared into this decision. how many children do you have and how old are you. i have got pregnant twice in the past 6 months, sadly i miscarried both. we paid around 4000 for my op, we had to go private because i already had kids. i so wish you had stopped the sterilisation. i think women should have a cooling off period of 6-12 months before they go ahead with this op, its not to be taken lightly, once its done its done and its hard to go back, but not impossible. i regretted my decision so much. good luck in whatever you decide to do. if i can be of anymore help then feel free to ask.

as i sit here with my precious son in my arms i feel so bad for it even being in my thoughts but i feel so sad , i too had had sections and was told that was my limit
. i feel i was never given any info and i want a explanation to this many thanks hun . xxxx

how many sections did you have and how old are you?

i have had 3 and im 32 . why hun . xxxx

who told you that was your limit. i was 26 when i was sterilised, im 38 now, i didnt have any counselling either, i was so young, and even at your age it seems young. why did you decide to have it done in the first place? i had it done because i was in an abusive relationship, and so naive, im not now, im happily married. when i look back it was the worst thing i could have done, even though i already had 4 kids. when do you have to see your consultant.
