    Hello.

    I've never had a tubal, but I have read about women into their 40's (one woman was 48 ) having tubal reversals and successfully conceiving and giving birth. So I guess it's more a matter of your health and the state that your tubes are in. Most likely, 32 is not too old, but consult with your gyn.

    I wish you all the best, whatever you decide.

    This is exactly the reason I am against permanent steriliztion at such a young age. Your only 32, when did you have the procedure done ?

    Its natural to want to have a baby with your new man. Just wait it out and see if it passes. I am pretty sure most insurance does not cover reversal and it can be over $10,000 !

    I am almost 35 and my DH is 37. We are fairly confident that we dont want anymore children but we still are holding off on anything permanent. Our situation and thoughts may change.

    I am 32 and I had a tubal reversal last year. Our tubal reversal site has a message board and some of the ladies are in there 40's. So it is not to late. You have to choose a Dr. Get your operative report and send it to them so they can let you know if you can be reversed. I know it worked for me. I have a 4 month old little girl. She was a preemie but that had nothing to do with having the tubal reversal.
