I just wanted to let everyone know about blessedarrows.com which is a ministry to help raise funds for reversals, both tubal and vascectomies. You give money each month as you are able and slowly your name rises to the top in order of joining, as the funds are paid out for operations. Really cool. In case finances are a major decision between couples, there's that option in case everyone's thinking "we can't afford an 8-$10,000 operation!"
My husband got a reversal after 3 years of me praying - we had the money to get it done, but that's ALL we had, felt we should not use the ministry then, but we did find out about doctors, yet had to fly to Arkansas from NC to do it! This doctor does these every week as a ministry. He has 9 boys I think! It was $2,000 for my husband - hotel, car, plane, everything. Doc's fee was $1500. Cheap. Got prego the next month! Now, my husband says our family is "complete". I am back and forth on the subject, getting older, pregnancy is TIRING plus I gain a TON of weight on my very petite frame which is hard on me and harder to lose as I get older. So glad I have him to make that final decision. I can rest in his leadership.
