Date of Pregnancy Test: 08-04-08
Due Date: 03-29-09
Remarks: Hello–I had my TR for PTLS. We were not actively trying to conceive and I had actually undergone surgery for a procedure and was apparently a few days pregnant at the time. Oops! When I found out I was pregnant the beginning of August I went in that day for Hcg draws and repeated that three more times.

I also had two ultrasounds with the first showing a sac at 6w2d. I had a second ultrasound at 7w5d and we saw the baby with the heartbeat. I went in today for a regular checkup with my OB doctor and the heartbeat was heard via doppler and she did an in-office ultrasound where we saw the baby kicking and the heartbeat again. I will be 12 weeks on Sunday. While this wasn’t a planned pregnancy it is slowly growing on me and I am more happy/relieved reaching this many weeks and having no complications and then again today seeing the baby/heartbeat. Just thought I’d fill you guys in! Take care!

Remarks: Hey you guys! Just wanted to up date you… I am 35 weeks pregnant with our TR son. I have been on meds to stop pre-mature labor which started on 9/18/2008. It has worked. We are still hanging in there! I actually went a couple weeks ago and had 3D-4D ultrasound photos taken of the baby and boy is he fat. He is not only a miracle performed through Dr. Berger but a healthy miracle. By doc’s opinion we are looking at a 9.5 pounder lil fellow easily. So, again… thanks to all of you and keep up the good work. As long as you guys continue to be obedient in the miracles God uses you for, you will continue to be blessed.

I will continue to keep you guys in my prayers asking God to continue to use you all for his works and to continue to bless all of you!!!! Thanks! I hope to be sending you guys pictures of the new Berger Baby shortly.

Date of Pregnancy Test: 09/06/2008
Remarks: I just went to Doctor today to make an appt. because I was told once I get a positive test make one and don’t wait since there is a chance for tubal pregnancy. The nurse gave me a very had time saying they can’t do anything for me until I’m 8 weeks. I did get my blood work done today. The level was 38. She said it was too early to tell. I go back Wednesday. I asked her after that do I go back in two days? She said “no” but I read that I need to get blood work done until I reach 1500, right? What can I do about this? Can you right a letter or just tell me what to do because I don’t know and I’m scared if I don’t get the care that I need. The nurse is giving me a hard time - not my Doctor, I didn’t get to talk to her yet. Thank You in advance.

Date of Pregnancy Test: 5/21/08 and 5/22/08 home test; 5/27/08 blood test
Due Date: 1/31/09
Remarks: I have concerns about an ectopic pregnancy and about my HCG level. My gut instinct does not leave me concerned about a miscarriage, but ectopic pregnancies… more so. Can you please provide any insight? My blood test results from yesterday, 5/27/08, showed Progesterone Assay of 22.80 and Beta HCG of 2,406. The HCG level was much higher than I would have expected given that I’m only 4 1/2 weeks out from the 1st day of my last period and only 3 weeks out from the date of conception - 5/6/08 - we didn’t even really try this month because we were a bit surprised to have had no luck in prior months, were taking it easy, and my OPK results were confusing me. I had understood that HCG levels are typically 1,500 - 2,500 in the 8-10 week range. Am I misinformed about HCG levels or indeed, do these seem high at this early stage? With HCG level already so high, I’m guessing my OB/Gyn will order an ultrasound next week, but I’m concerned that it’s so early that the sac won’t be visible. Alternatively, do HCG levels this high suggest multiples? My husband and I have no history of this with our first 3 children or in our families and we certainly didn’t do any fertility. I hope to speak to my Ob/GYN tomorrow. I got these results from her nurse today. Upon my questioning/wondering, the nurse said nothing definitive but asked me some questions about my dates this month and last month - my sense is she was wondering if I was pregnant during my previous cycle which began 4/2/08. Thanks much for any insight!

Remarks: I received a faint BFP on Sunday - this is my first since reversal - had some spotting yesterday and an even fainter BFP Monday morning. I am thinking this a chemical pregnancy or not a viable one - just do not have a good feeling but at least I know now I can get pregnant. I have a call in to Dr’s office to schedule blood work just to be safe (even if I do start my period I want to make sure levels go to 0). But I wanted to post my positive so that it can be included in your stats since it is possible.

Remarks: I just wanted to let you know that 5 days after the surgery I ovulated and here we are reading a positive pregnancy test.

God has truly blessed Dr. Berger with the ability and talent to perform these surgeries and for that I am so truly grateful. Thank you to all of the staff and to Dr. Berger. You all were so very good to us. My husband and I prayed very hard for this opportunity and we had a very positive outlook on this whole thing. Thank you all very very much! I will keep you posted.

Remarks: I had my tr in March 2005. I did try clomid and IUD twice. Both were not successful. I have not used clomid or ovulation packets for over 6 months. Just left it in God’s hands. I am 43 years of age and I am always 26 days on my cycle. I did have it confirmed that one of my tubes is blocked from scar tissue so I only have my left one open. I missed my cycle and have not been feeling very well for the last week or so. I bought a pregnancy test and it was positive. I bought 4 more and they are all positive. I did this yesterday late afternoon. By the time I took the test the Dr’s office was closed so I did not get a chance to call but I am planning on calling Monday morning.

Date of Pregnancy Test: 4/19/08
Due Date: January 19th???, 2009
Remarks: I’m not entirely sure how this happened!!! LOL - I must have ovulated right after my period stopped??? I don’t really ‘feel’ pregnant yet, the only reason I tested was because I thought I started bleeding/spotting again 2 days after my cycle stopped. Then it stopped after 2 days and started again 2 days later. I’ve never ever had spotting or any kind of break thru bleeding-except when I was pregnant. Also, I was having pain on my right side that was strong enough to wake me from sleep Friday night. We did the hpt and that line came of fast. We aren’t talking a faint line, like I would have expected on CD16!!!(if any line at all) My Dr. sent us to the Hospital since I was having pain on Rt. side. The pain went away and my hcg level was 549. Although it was too early to see anything, they did an ultrasound anyway. Nothing. I test today for 2nd level. I still have some spotting, not like I did on Saturday. Just playing the waiting game and praying for our miracle. Funny how life changes in a moment! Thanks!!

Remarks: I have had 2 miscarriages and one ectopic (lost my right tube). We weren’t trying because my HSG showed scar tissue even though I did see with my own eyes the dye go all the way through. We weren’t TTC since I was told I didn’t ovulate without Clomid (I have never test positive for ovulation with test sticks or a fertility monitor without being one Clomid). We are in total shock and of coarse overjoyed and scared at the same time. My 1st HCG number at CD 31 was 21 at CD 33 39 (that was 45 hours apart). I will keep you updated.

Due Date: December 6, 2008
Remarks: I used ovulation test sticks (7 stick packs), monitored daily temperature and monitored my cycle. In March (period began 3/1) the peak ovulation day was never indicated. In April I had what appeared to be a very brief (2 1/2 days) period beginning 4/1. Noticed swollen and tender breast on 4/10. Began my usual ovulation stick test on 4/11. On the morning of 4/13 I took both an ovulation test and a pregnancy test and the pregnancy test came up positive. Noticed some spotting that day. Had a quantitative analysis done at ob/gyn on 4/14 which confirmed the pregnancy. Monday 4/14 Progesterone 3.87 and HCG 144.1. Due to the low numbers I was put on Progesterone suppositories and pelvic rest. Wednesday 4/16 Progesterone 22.25 and HCG 176.8. Today, Friday 4/18 HCG 299.00. I continue daily spotting and remain on Progesterone suppositories. I am scheduled for another quantitative analysis on Monday 4/21.

Remarks: I did not believe I could be pregnant because I had a period only 2 weeks prior to a positive pregnancy test. The reason that I took the pregnancy test is because I had all the signs of an ectopic pregnancy. I was right. The pregnancy was ectopic and my tube (right) had already ruptured. I had surgery and lost both the baby and the right tube. Took me a while to report this to you, but I thought you should have the info for your statistics.

Remarks: Although my husband and I were extremely excited to find the pregnancy test positive on Friday, April 4th, I did start having some mild pains on my right side. The next day I had no pain at all, but Sunday morning I wasn’t feeling so well. I got up and went to church but I started to have some intense pain. I went directly to the ER. They did an ultrasound and found a mass in my right tube. The doctor could not verify that it was a sac and decided to do some exploratory surgery to find out exactly what it was. It was in fact an ectopic pregnancy in the tube which had to be terminated. Thankfully, there was no damage to the tube or any surrounding tissue. We felt that God had already given us a name for this child, Moriah Grace, and we will be holding a memorial service for her this next Sunday. Thank you Dr. Berger and staff. This is not the way we wanted things to turn out, but we now know that I can in fact get pregnant. We do so appreciate the gift you have given in restoring my body. Blessings, Tim and Joyce J.

Pregnant After Reverse Tubal Ligation

Mommyagain2006, a member of the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center Message Board, is thrilled to announce that she is finally pregnant after her procedure to untie tubes performed by Dr. Berger in July of 2005. She achieved the pregnancy this time by undergoing IUI, which stands for intrauterine insemination, and is performed by inserting a thin catheter through the cervix and injecting sperm directly into the uterus. Mommyagain2006 is congratulated by other message board members who also want a child after tubal ligation and who are inspired by her story about pregnancy after tubes tied.

This is topic Keep the Faith in forum After Tubal Reversal at Tubal Reversal Message Board.

Well ladies...I have not been on the boards much with our ups and downs of TTCing. I had my TR July 22, 2005. We just went through our first IUI on April 12th and today I got this:

The Importance of Early Pregnancy Monitoring

The importance of early pregnancy monitoring cannot be stressed enough. All women have a chance of ectopic pregnancy, but after tubal reversal surgery, the chance is slightly higher. For this reason, Dr. Berger recommends all patients at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center work closely with their home physicians to follow the course of pregnancy as soon as conception is detected. Once a tubal reversal patients gets a positive pregnancy test, she should get her first HCG blood level drawn. After this, her doctor should be drawing the blood for HCG at least twice week. When the HCG level reaches 1500, the pregnancy can be detected by ultrasound. A vaginal ultrasound should be performed to determine the location of the implantation. This greatly reduces the chance of tubal rupture should the pregnancy prove to be ectopic. Dr. Berger should be notified as soon as you are pregnant so that he can ensure you are receiving timely early pregnancy care.

The following is from the Tubal Reversal Message Board:

Posted by Kristy Isett (Member # 8861) on February 05, 2008 05:58 PM:

Hi Dr B, I just found out on 1/24/08 that I was PG again after taking 200 mg clomid. My LMP was on 12/30/05 Since then, I've had 5 hcg betas drawn. My concern is the last two I had.
My first 3 betas were
1/24/08= 19.45 Progesterone= 27.1
1/26/08= 48.64
1/28/08= 104.22
Thursday 01/31/08
hCG was 371 progesterone was 45.2 (on suppositories)
Monday 02/04/2008
hCG was 576Why the small rise?? I mean I figured it should have been closer to the 1400-1500 level.
My blood tests were done at two different labs, but I honestly don't think that there would be that much of a difference between them. I go again tomorrow for another beta.
I had an internal exam yesterday 2/4/08 and dr said there was no sign of bleeding, cervix was closed and long. He felt my uterus and said it felt normal. I then went for a vaginal u/s and the tech was unable to see anything at that point. Dr called me and told me that there was a bit of free fluid??? in my uterus but not enough to have him concerned at this point. I don't know what to think at this point. Thanks in advance!

Posted by Gary S Berger MD (Member # 3) on February 05, 2008 06:58 PM:

Hi Kris -Using our HCG doubling time calculator, I entered your first HCG level of 19 and the last one of 576 taken 11 days apart. The calculator shows a doubling time of 53.6 hours, or doubling every 1.36 days. This is normal. At this rate, your HCG level should reach 1500 by Friday or Saturday, and when it does, a vaginal US exam should be performed to look for the gestational sac.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by Kristy Isett (Member # 8861) on February 05, 2008 07:24 PM:

Thanks Dr. Berger, but shouldn't I be concerned with the fact that it didn't double from Thursday 1/31/08 to Monday 02/04/08??? The doubling rate from those two beta's is like every 6.30 days or every 111 hours I think.Thanks again!

Kristy - I would call and try to get an ultrasound - I know 700 is too small to see a sac but sometimes they can see a bulge in the tube or fluid in the uterus. There are other symptoms!!! maybe I would go to the ER. One tube is just too precious to lose, not to even mention that you life is at risk here. Does your Dr. know the protocol? I have heard to tubes bursting at 700 - just to be on the safe side I would try to get an ultrasound - fake pain if you have to!!!! Talk to Berta - I know she is on some of the lists and recently posted about losses on the main page - she can tell you what her number was when her tube burst.Good luck - we are all pulling for you!!!

Kristy....Personally if it were me...I would go to the ER. It could be several things. Some need for concern, others - everything could be just fine.Numbers sometimes become stagnet (for lack of a better word)...even though raising a bit...)I think for piece of mind....get to ER for an u/s, tell them you are high risk for e/p due to TR and tell them your last number, and also that you are having pain..tell them- it's kinda tender (pick a side) and that the pain feels like it comes from the back and moves to the front.They should be able to see 'something'...whether a shadow, fluid or swollen tube...etc etc... if they can't see anything yet...then all could be fine and nothing to worry over.There was a sister on our july thread....she no longer posts, but her number never got higher than like 300, and become stagnet, dr did nothing, and she ended up rupturing and losing the tube.My numbers were higher at time of rupture.....a week before rupture they were about 6700 or so... HOWEVER there are those that rupture with a small number due to the tube becoming swollen etc etc....Get it checked. Better safe than sorry down the road. I'd rather worry about something and it turn out to be nothing, than not to worry at all and it become something that can't be fixed.Thoughts are with you and I surely do hope all is okay. Just get it checked--ok??Berta

Krys,
Please go to the ER. You're right that those numbers aren't doubling right and it may be just a slow starter or possibly an ectopic. It's better to be safe than to lose your only tube. I went through two ectopics last year, and with the second my numbers were right around doubling for the first couple draws then they started slowing down like yours are doing. With that pregnancy the baby ended up implanted near my bladder and if I hadn't had early monitoring it would definitely have been life threatening. Please take care, and I'll be saying prayers for you and your little bean.Lots of Love

Posted by Gary S Berger MD (Member # 3) on February 06, 2008 04:12 PM:

Kristy - I agree that based on today's result your HCG rise is no longer rising normally. When HCG ceases to double within 3 days on more than one occasion, I recommend ending the pregnancy with Methotrexate and continuing to follow the serum HCG until it is back to non-pregnant levels (less than 10). At your current HCG level, it is still too early for an ultrasound examination to be diagnostic about whether it is in the uterus or outside of the uterus. But when a pregnancy is no longer progressing normally, it should not be continued.

Dr. Berger~ I just wanted to update you on what happened, I did in fact have an ectopic. There was a 4.7 CM buldge in my tube, the Dr told me that she would do everything possible to save my tube, but after surgery she told me that there was no way to save it even though it wasn't ruptured, she felt that the tube itself was too "stretched out" she said it looked unhealthy. So, that ends my journey in TTC for now, hopefully we'll find a way to do IVF sometime in the future. Heck, I'm not getting any younger! LOL! Thanks for all of the advice and thanks for everything!Kris

The Importance of Dr. Berger's Pregnancy Protocol after Tubal Reversal Surgery

This is topic So frustrated with Doctors in forum After Tubal Reversal at Tubal Reversal Message Board.

Carrie is pregnant with her second TR baby and her local physician is not adhering to the pregnancy protocol recommended by Dr. Berger for pregnancy after tubal reversal. Once a woman has a positive home pregnancy test after a tubal reversal, she needs to start having her quantitative HCG levels drawn every 2-3 days until the level reaches 1500. At that point, she will need a vaginal ultrasound performed in order to determine the placement of the pregnancy. It is always a good idea to print the protocol from our website and take it to your first doctor's appointment to be certain that the doctor agrees to the protocol.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by Carri (Member # 9673) on January 14, 2008 02:41 PM:

Hi Everyone,
I need to vent a little. I got a BFP on 1/1 and went to my doctor on 1/2. During this visit they informed me that they no longer are members of my medical plan and I would have to switch doctors or pay out of pocket for visits. I paid for my visit that day and went to get bloodwork done. I called back and they did not do quantitative (sp ?) so they could not tell me my #'s. They would scedule an ultrasound, but for 3 weeks later and i would have to pay cash. Fast forward a couple of days. I find a new doctor, explain to them Dr. B's protocol and they said they would follow it but couldn't see me until today (2weeks later). I go in today and they do an exam and tell me not to worry it couldn't be in my tube (my one and only little tube) because I would be feeling pain and since i am not it must not be in there. I insisted on an ultrasound and she gave me a prescription for one to be done at the hospital. I call the hospital and explain about tr and how i need an ultrasound immediately and they tell me that they will sqeeze me in on FRIDAY! Now what?????? I feel like a ticking timebomb. Any advice?

Carrie, my advice would be to go immediately to the ER... tell them a fib and tell them you are having slight cramps or something. That way they will do an ultrasound. The drs should always follow the protocol because of our increased risk of ectopic. With only having one tube, you need to get checked out. Please go ASAP and let us know.
Good luck to yoU!

sorry to butt in - what is DTRD -

Carrie - I have not had any BFP but have read so much over the past 9 months of woman waiting and not getting the preventative care they needed to go on and not only lose their tube but a few come close to an outcome much worse. This is not something to play the waiting game on - please go to the ER and get the care you need.

I had an EP that ruptured 4 days before my AF due date....
Go to the ER.
I went through 3 Dr.s in the midst of a MC and EP I know it sucks. I know it's hard and upsetting but do it. Just take care of it. You want to protect that tube!!!!
Hugs to you from TN

Go to the ER. Insist on an US to get your tubes checked. Make sure whoever you get repeats this to double triple check until they see the baby. If you can the next day after the ER sit down with your phone book and start calling Dr.s until you find one that fits your needs. That's what I had to do. It was horrible but I found a great Dr. Tell them up front what you need. If they can't do it, move on.
Hang in there, get yourself to the ER ok?

Hi Everyone,
Sorry it took me so long. I waited 10 hours in the ER and they were telling me it would be a couple more and i gave up. I could have died sitting there and no one would have noticed. I am going to my old doctor today and am going to pay for my ultrasound (they no longer take my insurance). I can't believe that it is this difficult. The first time was so smooth. Thank you all for your thoughts and concern. I will keep you updated.

Thanks again,
Carrie

Hi Everyone,

We know it can be very frustrating when your local OB/GYN doctors do not follow the ectopic pregnancy protocol detailed on our I'm Pregnant page. Your doctors all should really be well aware of this policy and should be following it as closely as possibly.

Thank You Jennifer!! I agree- we need MORE dr.'s like Dr. Berger who really care and a staff like all of you as well!!!!

Carrie- good luck and keep us posted!!!! I feel just like you do!!!

Lots of Love,
Becki

I am so afraid this will happen to me. I had a TR on Dec 31. I only have one tube! It is only 3 cm. I am already nervous about this. I am scared I will have a EP and it will rupture my only tube.
How can I prevent this from happening to me? Do I need to start seeking a specialized OBGYN right away?

Yeah, I would find a dr, now that will follow Dr. B's protocol now!!! Before you become PG because by then it is too late to be fighting and demanding treatment!!!!


Jennifer- where can I get a copy of the guideline? I would like to copy it and hand it to my dr!
Thanks so much!

Lots of Love,
Becki
