It is not likely that the reversal will help improve the blood supply to
your ovaries. It is debated as to whether tubal ligation syndrome is
related to ovarian changes due to blood supply compromise. You
certainly should have good documentaion that you are ovulating before
you have hte reversal surgery. If you are having regular cycles, that's
a good indication.
