Testing Pregnancy Levels After Tubal Reversal

After tubal ligation reversal, it is important to follow your serum pregnancy hormone levels in the early weeks to confirm an intrauterine pregnancy. Dr. Gary Berger and Dr. Charles Monteith, tubal reversal surgeons at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center, recommend that their patients follow an early pregnancy monitoring protocol along with their local physician. The protocol involves serum quantitative serum HCG assays (HCG is the pregnancy hormone) twice a week followed by a vaginal ultrasound exam when levels reach 1500. Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center wants to be kept informed about their patients and their early pregnancy results and a nurse available by phone from 8am until 8pm, 7 days a week.
