Waggers.....i can relate to the heavy periods especially after having the TL....I was never told of any of the BAD side effects you have with having a TL...in fact i was not told a thing except to arrive at the hospital at a certain time.....It was the worst thing i could have ever done, and regret it every day.....We are doing IVF for 2 reasons...#1 i can't have TR due to really badly damaged tubes....i to had the filschie clips.....#2 because i also have endometriosis and doing IVF helps with that......There is nothing to be afraid of.....just ask lots of questions and don't take NO for an answer.......good luck with your TR journey....cheers kiya
