Imaginary or real??

[praying4more]

At the risk of sounding completely crazy (since it is how I feel) I am posting in search of advice and/or answers. I had my tubes cut/tied/burned 7 years ago as I was only 24 with three small children and in a relationship with a verbally and emotionally man. I was absolutely certain that I would never want any more kids. Three years ago that relationship ended and I have now met the love of my life and been with him for 2 years. There is not a single day that goes by that I don't totally regret the decision to have the surgery done all those years ago. He deeply cares for my kids as if they are his and even gets jealous when they have to go to their dad's house. I would love nothing more than to give him his own first born  child (or more). Recently I have been experiencing symptoms like those I had with my 3 pregnancies. Such as tender breast, nausea, cravings, tiredness, swelling ankles, weight gain, moodiness, and feeling fluttering-type movement. Over the last week the movement has even been visible while I am laying down. This would all be awesome, if it is real; the problem is that I am still having periods, although irregular, and I took a hpt and it came up negative. Is it possible that my mind is playing a cruel joke with my body? Or could this be our miracle? We pray everyday that we will be blessed with a 'mistake' of our own. We have discussed saving for either reversal or IVF but aren't sure which option would have a better chance for results. I am in my 30's now and realize that my time is running out if this is going to be a possibility.

Symptoms actually mean nothing to in terms of if you're pregnant. Desire can cause them, digestive problems can cause them, lifestyle can cause them, stress, cysts, etc. The odds of pregnancy after a ligation are not high, and if it does happen it's more likely to be Ectopic. There isn't usually any help with getting it reversed. Your insurance might cover a little, but they don't usually. The only drawback of a reversal is that depending on what was done your odds are still low and still more likely to be Ectopic. Seeing as your was cut/burned there might not even be enough to save. IVF is much more costly (averages I've seen are around 10,000) and has better odds than a reversal. Your other choice would be surrogacy.

I would call ur gyn and have ur blood tested to make sure it is negative.  I had my tubes tied in 2006 and I have gotten pregnant twice since then. I delivered a baby girl in 2009 who is two now and I am currently pregnant with number four who is due in August.  Saying that I never had my tubal reversed mine was prefromed incorrectly so one side is still functioning but everytime I have found out about being pregnant was with blood test after my urine tests were always neg. If u aren't I would look more into ivf rather than reversal just the success rate seems a lil better. I did have what I thought were periods in the beginning but again contact ur gyn dr and discuss with them good luck any questions feel free to ask. Me

I have begun researching having my tubal reversed and if it is possible, it will be costly. We are not opposed to saving the money for the procedure, just unsure if it is a viable option. Unfortunately, here in the US I don't believe there is any free help. As far as the symptoms, they are all exactly as with my previous pregnancies. The only difference is that I am still having my periods and the test says negative. Which is why I am so confused.

im confused can you not have your tubes untied. and if its still possible to have children with no tubes ill research it and get back to you. and if it is possible then yes that is pregnancy symptoms you can test about 2 weeks after your fertile period which is about half way through your cycle try retesting or ask your g.p for a blood test and then retest a week later but if you are realy trying then some times your mind and body will mimmic pregnancy symptoms that arn't realy there. good luck let us no if you no more.
