Keeping an eye on their cycles after tubal reversal microsurgery is something not all women understand the whys and wherefores. They know they may stay in a hospital for one or two days for post op recovery as indicated by their doctor. They also know their bodies need several weeks of limited activity for their bodies to actually heal from the tubal ligation reversal surgery. But when their cycles are involved, they may not know just what is happening to their bodies.

Now this healing process takes about four to six weeks before all the work done on their tubes is completely healed. And they might think they can rush to get pregnant right away. However, it is best for a woman that has had tubal ligation reversal surgery done to go through a couple complete cycles before really attempting to get pregnant even if it seems like everything is happening as it should.

Some women are lucky, however. They find themselves pregnant almost immediately at the first cycle. Others, better than six cycles after tubal reversal surgery, still find they can't get pregnant.

Often if a woman has found that she has not been able to conceive in 6 months after having the reversal operation carried out, then further checks will need to be done in order to see if there are any other underlying problems. Normally with women who find it much more difficult to conceive after having their operation reversed, it is because they had the original operation some time ago. Therefore a woman who has had the operation say only a couple of years ago compared to someone who had it 10 years ago may find it much easier to get pregnant.

Most likely the first thing the surgeon will do if it has been more than six months, is to inspect their fallopian tubes to be sure the tubes are open all the way. Sometimes something can happen that prevents this after surgery and they must be open for pregnancy to happen. If the tubes are open, then it's time to look for some other reason. Sometimes it can be as simple as stress. The women not getting pregnant are worried about not getting pregnant. Therefore, they don't get pregnant.

Sometimes they find that just because they have a period, it doesn't actually mean that ovulation is taking place. What this means in the end, is that even if they are late, it doesn't necessarily mean they are pregnant. Any woman with enough years knows that even the smallest upset in patterns and schedules can throw your system and cycles off.

Many doctors once a woman has become pregnant after they have had tubal reversal surgery will want to keep an eye on their patients in case they suffer from tubal pregnancy. This is very rare and only around 3 to 5% of all women who have this particular form of surgery are likely to suffer from an ectopic (tubal) pregnancy.

To keep track of your cycles after tubal reversal is done, you should be using an ovulation prediction kit. Follow the instructions of it and your doctor to best know when you are ovulating and when you get pregnant. One more concern in closing...you should contact your doctor if your period is late by a minimum of two days if this happens soon after resuming periods. Your doctor will be able to carry out a pregnancy test and hopefully give you the good news.
