The surgery

Since I had moved from Ohio to California, we began by securing my old medical records. Much to our delight. The tubal had been a mid-section and we were hopeful, what had been done could be un-done.....well not quite!

The initial tubal had cause irreparable damage to the fimbria of one tube, well not a total disaster, at least we have one good tube. The surgeon's message was encouraging:

Both of your tubes were 6 cm or more following repair, but there was no usable fimbria left on your right tube. Thus on your right side, I reconstructed the end of your tube, but this is not as effective as if you had normal fimbria. I would anticipate that changes for pregnancy would be reduced by about 30% as you really have one normal tube (your left).

So off we went to make babies.....
