Can there be success for tubal ligation reversal after ablation, becoming pregnant!

I had my tubes tied almost 5 years ago. Ablation done two years after that. I still have my cycle regularly, it is lighter than what it used to be but still pretty normal. I have met a wonderful man and I'm wanting to be able to give him a child. So I'm wanting to know if there are any successful tubal reversals after the ablation, or were there complications. Please only stories that apply to these details! I also know that I should have thought about these procedures more thoroughly. I was in situation were I had to do it because my relationship was in the deep end. Due to having my tubes tied made my periods just awful to were I couldn't get out of bed! So please somebody give me some good news, some positivity about this kind of situation. I know there's gotta be hope. I'm ready to push forward for this even if I was to get denied. I feel that my body will do what it's supposed to. Thank you everyone for reading this long post and taking time to looks at it.

I had my tubes tied in 2008 then in 2014 I had them untied. Was hoping that I would be able to conceive after that , but no luck . Did HSG test in  early 2015 to find out that the tubes were blocked proximal .
I'm now seeing a new doctor and he put me on a heavy dose of antibiotics and suggest that I do another HSG test.
I'm hoping and praying this works and the antibiotic help clear out any infections and I have been reading up a lot that the HSG test help unblock the tubes.
If not we will have to do IVF . Which I'm not looking forward too .
TTC is so hard and can be so frustrating.

I'll pray for you! I wish you the best, I know its hard bit sometimes we have to settle and enjoy the next best thing! Hope things work out!
Thank you . I did my sec HSG test today. I was so scared cause last time it was so painful. But guess what it was not painful at all. I'm praying that the antibiotics worked and the HSG shows that the tubes are cleared. My doctor thought we give it another try with the antibiotics and HSG because the tubes were open at one point after the reversal. I won't know anything until next month.
I read so many stories with the HSG unblocking tubes. I pray that it works.
Baby dust to everyone. ✨

Talk to your doctor or a specialist.  Tubal reconstruction surgery is expensive (not covered by insurance) and not as likely to succeed as IVF is, due to the chance of the tubes scarring again, but your bigger problem is the ablation.  Only your doctor (or a fertility specialist) could tell you if your lining gets thick enough to support a pregnancy.  If it does not, you might be at serious risk.  (Your lining has to be thick enough or there is the chance of the embryo burrowing into the uterine sidewall in a way dangerous to you and to the pregnancy.)  Anyway, talk to a specialist and get your lining thickness measured during your cycle, and then go from there on deciding between tubal reconstruction and IVF.
