Hi everyone! I found out today that the pathology report said they took very little of my tubes..not even 1cm...does that mean my tubes are not very long though? And does it make a difference in the size? I know im probably so paranoid..havent heard nothing on the loan yet, im getting impatient...keep your fingers crossed for me I should have an answer tomorrow!

Hi Kacy,
If Im not mistaken I had less than 1cm removed also. Had my Tr almost 10 days ago and I was left with 6.5R and 4 Id say you have a great chance! Dr Berger is an angel in disguise so have faith. I was in your shoes just last month waiting to hear about loan. Ive got fingers toes and anything else I can cross crossed for u. Good luck! And no you arent too paranoid I think we've all been there!

Kacy I think it depend on who did your TL. My report said he took 1 cm from each side yet I ended up with 2.5 and 5. I think my Dr. folded my tube in half and cut it. I was expecting much longer tubes than I got. Also it depends on which type of TL you had. I had ligation resection. Your's sound good though, so I wouldn't worry at all. I was just glad I had something to work with,

Kacy-
Good luck with your loan. Mine also said 1cm and I ended up with 5.5 & 5. You will LOVE Dr. Berger and his staff... They were the best!!!! No regrets what so ever!!!! The only real problem you will discover is he is the best Dr. you will ever meet and no one else can compare...
Keep us posted and let us know when U schedule...
Lots of Love.

Kacy, unfortunately, I've heard way too often that the reports were erroneous when it comes to figuring your lengths. Don't worry though... there are plenty of short-tubers that get those
BFP's and I see less of them with blocked tubes, so I guess it's a mixed blessing. If you are worried, you can chose to have the LAP done to see what Dr. Berger can do before TR. To be honest, it really depends on WHAT kind of TL you had that mostly determines your tube lengths.

Kacy, I didn't have pathology reports for my TL, but my tubes were coagulated in three places on each tube. Dr.Berger did LAP and was able to continue with reversal . My tube lenghts are L 3.5 & R 5.5 . It's been 5 months since surgery.

Hi, I just had my TR done today. This is my first time posting to any of the boards. I was told that my TL's are 6 and 7 centimeters. My age is still a factor, but I'm praying for God to give us a baby. I believe it's a miracle that TR's are available to women today.
