If your tubal was a "cut and tie" no, if they did a crush and clamp a maybe, the reversal would be allot more involved and expensive, probably not covered by insurances and not most doctors would even attempt.  But it's a question you need to discuss thoroughly with your personal physician.

Yes, go to see a doctor.  Don't wait 10 more months.

If you were planning a c-section then the doctor would go ahead and tie your tubes while you were on the table.  It sounds like you are planning a vaginal delivery.  If so then the doctor will want to make sure you are not hemorrhaging, or having other complications, and that the baby is not having complications.  The procedure will probably be done through three small laporscopic incisions.  It takes about 30 minutes and is usually done under general anesthesia or heavy sedation.  Some doctors will not perform this procedure until 24 hours post delivery.

I had the same thing happen to me several years ago.  I had ovarian cysts that had to be removed surgically.

I have never seen any HMO deny sterilization procedures.  However, some hospitals may refuse to perform it (mostly Catholic hospitals) unless there is medical necessity.  When I had my tubal, I had to go through a "Sterilization Committee" at my local Catholic hospital.

It is not common, but it can happen. It is called a tubal pregnancy and it is dangerous and calls for medical attention a.s.a.p. My sister had this.

It's possible, but not likely.  Was your girlfriend hospitalized?  Did she press charges?  Her ob/gyn should be your main source of answers for this question.

I had a tubal in 2001, with no side effects.  Periods the same, libido the same.  I am happier not having to worry or think about getting a shot or taking a pill. Here is what some of the experts say:   \nSide effects after tubal sterilization are rare. While many women complain of pain or abnormal bleeding after the surgery, many of them were on the birth control pill previously, and this masked symptoms of hormonal imbalances. When the pills are stopped after surgery, the symptoms show up. In reality, the likelihood of menstrual disturbances or pelvic pain developing is no greater after tubal sterilization procedures than in women who have not had such surgery.\nRarely, adhesions form at the site of the tubal coagulation (not "cauterization," which would technically mean just burning the outside of the tube).  http://health.ivillage.com/gyno/gynobc/0,,5lj9,00.html\n\nThis site says there are a lot of side effects.  It sounds like they believe there is a conspiracy.  I am not sure where they have gotten their facts as they are not substantiated or sourced....http://www.tubal.org/campaginStart.htm\n\nRisks    Return to top \n\nRisks due to anesthesia include:\n\nReactions to medications \nProblems breathing \nRisks of any surgery include: \nBleeding \nInfection \nAdditional risks for tubal ligation include: \nIncomplete closure of the tubes, with possible continued fertility. Approximately 1 out of 200 women who have had tubal ligation will get pregnant. \nIncreased risk of an ectopic (tubal) pregnancy if pregnancy occurs after a tubal ligation. \nInjury to adjacent organs or structures caused by the laparoscopic instruments. \nExpectations after surgery:  Most women recover with no problems. There are no tests required to verify sterility.\n\nhttp://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/002913.htm

If its been less than 6 years, its a very high sucess rate. I think it drops to 75%-80% in the 7-10 bracket, and continues lower from there. Alot of it has to do with the skill of the surgeon and his reattachment methods. But before you go picking out baby names, he needs to go in for an appointment to see if his vas deferens (spelling horrid, i know) are even long enough for a re-attachment. But I know a guy that had it done 6 years ago and has his wife preggy within 30 days of his surgery. Just make sure you pick a specialist that does at least 1 reversal per week.

Here are some statistics....and not judgements!  :)\nThe success rate for reopening the tubes is over 90 percent, and approximately 70 percent of patients have become pregnant by one year or more after the procedure.  The pregnancy rate varied by type of original tubal ligation performed, tubal lengths after repair, and a woman's age.  http://www.fertilityanswers.com/tubal_ligation_reversal.htm\n\nReanastomosis in appropriately selected candidates usually results in patency (opening) of the reconnected Fallopian tubes in more than 85 percent of the cases. A pregnancy rate of 70 to 75 percent in the first year is anticipated. http://parenting.ivillage.com/ttc/0,,46df-p,00.html\n\nWomen under the age of 40 who have a tubal reversal through the traditional surgical methods have a 70% to 80% pregnancy success rate, with conception usually occurring during the first year after the procedure. Women who have microsurgery done have a slightly higher success rate, with about 90% of women becoming pregnant within one year of the procedure. However, tubal ligation success rates tend to decline with a woman’s age although they are still better than IVF pregnancy rates.  http://www.epigee.org/guide/tl.html

I would definately see another doctor for another opinion, as something is definately not right.  It is possible that it could have shifted, or even punctured your uterus.

It's easy & ralatively painless. I had mine less than 24 hours after having my 2nd child. Just make sure that when they cut the tube, they take part of it out. That way there is no way it can grow back together, which I've heard has actually happened a few times. Good luck!

If you go to http://www.ihr.com/infertility/provider/tubal_reversal.html#MO there is a listing of providers.  Most places are willing to work out some kind of payment plan.

If she has had a tubal ligation, her chance of becoming pregnant is, realistically zero.  Although there are RARE cases of pregnancy with the womans tubes tied, these are freak occurances.\n\nHowever, of much greater concern is the attitude of her male partner.  He doesn't know that she has had her tubes tied and still has sex with her assuming there is no birth control involved.  In a couple that is unmarried and not planning on having children, this is a sign of EXTREME lack of empathy and caring for the woman.  Only the bottom of the barrel men do this and your friend should get rid of him immediately.

Sometimes.  It really just depends on how exactly it was done.  It will cost around $6000.  Research tubal ligation reversal.
