Sara Roy, a 32-year-old marketing manager,...
Sara Roy, a 32-year-old marketing manager, had a tubal ligation five years ago after the birth of her second child, feeling her family was complete. After remarrying, she and her new husband, Arjun, deeply desire a child together. Sara's history is otherwise unremarkable. Her symptoms were simply an inability to conceive for 18 months, with confirmed ovulation and a normal semen analysis from Arjun. Her OB/GYN, Dr. Mehta, recommended a tubal reversal (tubotubal anastomosis) as the most direct path to a natural pregnancy, explaining it offered a 50-80% chance of success given her age and the original ligation method. Sara underwent a meticulous laparoscopic procedure. The recovery was challenging for the first week with abdominal pain and bloating, but she was back to light work in two weeks. Emotionally, she was filled with hope but also anxiety about the outcome. Eight months post-procedure, Sara discovered she was pregnant. Her emotional journey transitioned from grief over her past decision to overwhelming joy and gratitude, feeling she had been given a second chance to build her blended family.
