Is My Pregnancy Normal: Following A Plan After Tubal Reversal

A member of the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Facebook page posts a very important question about following the early pregnancy plan after tubal reversal surgery with Dr. Charles Monteith. Rebecca writes, “I was wondering do u have to follow the early pregnancy protocol on all pregnancies after tr or just the 1st one? we r trying for #2!” The answer is Yes!! For every pregnancy post tubal reversal surgery, Dr. Charles Monteith, has instituted these guidelines which consists of serial blood HCG (pregnancy hormone) testing followed by a trans-vaginal ultrasound to confirm the placement of pregnancy in the uterus as opposed to a fallopian tube. Dr. Charles Monteith, worldly recognized tubal reversal surgeon, ensures couples a pregnancy can progress once it has been determined the fetus is in correct position. Research suggests women who have undergone repair to their fallopian tubes have a higher risk for an ectopic pregnancy (10-15%).
