Frustrated

I am a 33 year old mother of four children,(14,4,3,20 mos.). I underwent surgery after the birth of my fourth child because my now ex-husband wanted no more children,(understandibly so..). Since my TL, I have had so many of the classic symptoms, it's text book. I felt like a crazy woman and had found until now, no answers for my "problems." In years past I suffered from endometriosis and had a hysteroscopy, and laseroscopy surgery to resolve the problem. Could the TL after affects be bringing back the endometriosis? I have been complaining to my Dr. for sometime now, and they recently did an ultrasound to see if there were any problems... nothing! I was an EXTREMELY active woman who suddenly has NO energy, and fights major depression. I live on presciption doses of ibuprofen and vicodin 2-3 days of every month to deal with the labor like back and abdominal pain, amongst the host of other symptoms associated with this condition. I don't want my children's memories of me during this time in their lives, to be of a Mom who was never motivated or patient enough to make it through a "normal" day. I want to enjoy my life again.
I have also had the fortune of meeting someone who loves and adores me and my children, he has none of his own.. I am so regretful of having had a TL done. I am so frustrated I am not getting answers, I want my life back, I want to feel good again.
Could someone PLEASE give me some solution(s)? Would a reversal help? Would it undo the symptoms I deal with on a daily basis? What are my options?
Thanks for listening, Heidi

Take the Tubal Ligation I.Q. Test Are you outraged? Feel as though you and other women were not (are not) being informed? Think that a class action lawsuit should be filed on behalf of post tubal women because information was and still is being withheld by the ACOG! The CPTwomen invites all reading this forum to join the CPTwomen and communicate with us at the members' forum. All posting here and conversation here has been moved to the members' forum.

CPTwomen members have testified in front of the IL and CA Court, the IL Gov. Task Force, the Sunset Review Committee, (Senator Liz Figueroa), NOW, and more. What occurred has been made a matter of public record. The CPTwomen are making public the issues which millions of other women have faced in silence. Issues such as women are not informed at the time of their tubal ligation that there is a risk of hormonal imbalance occurring. For the CPTwomen to continue its mission to move this issue to the forefront of government, we must ask for a small contribution/subscription fee from all those who wish to communicate with us and participate at the Coalition's Bulletin Board
