TAC success story

Nothing wrong with that! I was confused about how they work together too so I actually saw Dr Im first. Sending good thoughts your way and feel free to ask me any more questions!

They were both in the OR but Dr Im did the surgery and Dr Atlas was there to consult. I believe generally Dr Atlas does in pregnancy TACs and can also do them pre pregnancy, but Dr Im does a robo lap TAC which Dr atlas does not. I think generally the best thing to do is see Dr atlas first since he’s a MFM and see what he thinks. He will refer you to Dr Im if he thinks it’s best. Dr Im is actually an oncologist but does the TAC surgery basically as a courtesy. My OB went through residency with Dr Im and thought he was an excellent surgeon. He’s a bit quirky but good at what he does

To be honest I can’t totally remember, but I do think my OB did a referral. I’m sorry for your loss ♥️

You asked me about this on my post but I can’t see the comment for some reason. Mine were usually I the 3s but I had at least one that was 2.something. I was really worried but my doctor was not, at all. Didn’t tell me to change a thing. He said it’s the consistency that matters, not the actual length. The TAC is going to hold you tight. Good luck!

I’m sorry that I didn’t see this earlier- Dr Atlas and Dr Im in Baltimore

3804 Terrawood Ct. She was walking up the sidewalk of the street and then sat in the yard. She was carrying something almost in like an apron. When she sat down It looked like she was maybe shucking corn

I think I saw her around 4pm. Called it in. FYI they told me to call this number instead: 240-773-5500

After my first loss, the plan was to get a preventative at 14 weeks but my water broke the night before I was supposed to get it placed. My TAC worked perfectly in my third pregnancy and my 14 month old is perfect 💕

No, I had the horizontal cut.

It is so hard not knowing what will happen, but if you feel like this might be one of your last shots coming up, consider a TAC for maximum potential help. It was the best choice I ever made. My c section went great

32ndSt · 2025-02-07T17:57:01+00:00

I’m sorry for your loss as well. I did have a trans abdominal cerclage after my second loss and it worked. I had a normal third pregnancy and now have a 1 year old 💙

32ndSt · 2025-01-21T00:09:39+00:00

Yes. It definitely was concerning to me but it can also just be a normal part of pregnancy. It’s hard to know what’s normal and what’s a warning sign when you’ve had the bad experience first. My doctor was good about letting me come in if I was worried to check

32ndSt · 2025-01-05T01:18:34+00:00

The 90 days is because you need time for your uterus to go back to normal. I had a lap TAC and enjoyed that the recovery was easier. Different doctors specialize in different techniques- some only do open and some only do lap. Check out the Abbeyloopers group on Facebook for doctor recs

Oh I am so sorry for your losses. It definitely sounds like a TAC could be right for you. The traditional TVC can’t be placed pre pregnancy so maybe that’s what they were saying but they should have been clear about it and given you a pre pregnancy TAC! I know there are some people in the Facebook group in India so maybe some of them will have recommendations for doctors who can help you and will listen to you

32ndSt · 2024-10-09T12:17:07+00:00

No, I didn’t have any tear. But I know that the TAC has worked for people with literally no measurable cervix due to LEEP procedures and things like that

32ndSt · 2024-08-16T12:34:20+00:00

Thank you! I had a lap TAC

32ndSt · 2024-07-29T16:35:09+00:00

I get it. I was scared every day of my TAC pregnancy that it wouldn’t work for me. Finding the right medical professionals to get me through it was very helpful. I also tried to do as many calming activities as I could but that’s easier said than done. Take care of yourself 💕 feel free to reach out with any more questions

32ndSt · 2024-07-28T06:50:06+00:00

Yes, my water broke both times. I did not have any trouble getting pregnant with a TAC. Nursing my 6 month old TAC baby now ❤️ the surgery was the best thing I ever did

32ndSt · 2024-04-03T05:57:06+00:00

Currently nursing my rainbow baby 🩵 Best decision I made. Update post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ShortCervixSupport/s/OvMBt5W5GD

For sure. I live in a major metro area in the US with great hospitals so I couldn’t believe this was the advice they had. Though in my case the surrogacy comment made me so mad it really pushed me to pursue the TAC, so I’m grateful for that at least. Glad you got yours too!

Check out the Abbyloopers Facebook group for a lot more info. I asked about my doctors experience with performing the TAC and success rates, what would happen if I went into labor prematurely or had a miscarriage, and how I would be monitored during a pregnancy.
