I'm obviously not a doc, but here are my thoughts on your situation:

It depends on the method they used. If you were cut, the ends might

be good and you could end up with just enough tube. If the tubes

were cauterized, more of the tube would be damaged and you might not

have enough tube to give you a reasonable chance of success. I

definitely don't want to discourage you. Please take everything into

consideration before you decide how you want to go about trying to

get pregnant.

Frannie:

I wanted to warn you. There are a lot of doctors that are pretty

negative about having a tr. Most doctors think that your chances of

conceiving after a tr are not that high. I agree, if they were the

ones doing the tr. I have a friend that was told by her IVF doc that

the only way she would be able to conceive is thru IVF (by the Ivf

doc) She had quite a few IVF and they all failed. She ended up

having a tr and had plenty of tube. I would talk to Dr. Levin about

it, he would be able to give you a better idea. Good Luck
