Regret Tubal

http://www.aboverubies.org/frameset.asp?w=1152
This website has some "reversal stories" that may be helpful to you.

The thing with a reversal is (from what I understand) that 1, they aren't covered by insurance, and 2, they aren't a sure thing. But if you feel guilt or remorse for having the tubal, getting a reversal might bring some peace. However, if you are really focused on wanting a baby, a reversal might only cause more stress and raised hopes. Only you can say how it would effect you.

If your husband isn't on board for the reversal idea, you might consider adoption. Or you might just have to find peace in the fact that you really are done. It should deffinately be a couple-decision, made with much prayer and thought.

By the way, welcome to CF!

I am really surprised they even did a tubal on a 26 yr old. If you have the money and your hubby agrees i say go ahead and go for the reversal, but leave it in Gods hands and KNOW that you may or may not end up with more children. Dont focus on WANTING more kids..FOCUS on God's will and what he wants for you ..and accept whatever that may be!

oops, sorry.

Pray about it, discuss things with your husband and have him pray about it. Follow God's will, whatever that may be. I pray you find comfort and healing in our God.

I am in the same place as you, I had my tubes tied at 26yrs old after my 3rd son was born. I am now 33 and I have regretted this decision for 7yrs. I have prayedcontinuallyfor a miracle to cause my tubes to grow back together. I know God is able, but I feel as though I took this into my own hands 7yrs ago, during a very emtional time, and almost immediately after it was done the regret and guilt set in. The worst part is I have allowed the guilt, shame, and anger to effect my marriage all this time. I never spoke about how I felt to my husband or anyone, instead just kept it all inside. Now that it' out and I feel some peace in my spirit, we are discussing have the reversal. Not sure if we will be able to afford it, but, the first step has been facing the pain, and at least knowikng there is an option. So we need prayers as well to help make a decision.

If having another child or more to raise is your greatest concern, then why not consider adoption or foster care?

I love big families, but I've come to realize that there are so many children out there who need loving homes. Why not love some who are already here?
