The title of this article may have significant meaning if you are reading this and have been through the tubal reversal journey. If you are about to embark on this journey then this is probably how you may be feeling.
Being terrified of any surgery is normal. And it is normal to be terrified even for a surgery that you have chosen to have. The questions that are running through your head each second may be enough to begin making you second-guess your decision.

Some of the fears that tubal reversal patients face are:

1.)The surgery itself- Lets face it no one runs into the operating room like they are going on a long awaited dinner date. Although this is something that you have been planning for a long time the surgery is something to be nervous about.

2.)What if my tubes can't be repaired? Almost every patient going for tubal reversal surgery worries about this. Just remember, those with shorter tubes after surgery get pregnant too. Those with only one healthy fallopian tubes also conceive. The human body is quite remarkable.

3.)What if I never get pregnant? Think positive thoughts. By fearing the unknown and worrying you are not helping to get your body ready for pregnancy. Worrying about something that you really have no control over is not going to help at all. By having this surgery you and your partner now have the chance that you did not have before.

Being nervous is very common. If possible try to surround yourself with those that are positive and supportive of your decision. If you have people close to you that may be frowning on the surgery then there are other people you can connect with.

A great place for support is a tubal reversal message board. All of the people there are going through the same thing. Those that have already been through the surgery can give you advice and help ease your worries. They can tell you what to expect right up until you go into the operating room. They can also tell you what to expect after surgery and how they best resolved any issues that they happened to come across.

Going through the tubal reversal journey can be one of the most exciting times in a couples lives. By remaining positive and doing your research as well as surrounding yourself with people that understand will go a long way in helping to relieve your fears.
