There is a very minuscule percentage of becoming pregnant after getting your tubes tied and that is attached to the minuscule chance that they become untied.

Yes, There is a slight risk of becoming pregnant after tubal ligation. This happens to about 5 per 1,000 women after 1 year. After a total of 10 years following tubal ligation, about 18 per 1,000 women will have become pregnant.\n \nPregnancy may occur if: \nThe tubes grow back together or a new passage forms (recanalization) that allows an egg to be fertilized by sperm. \n\nThe surgery was not done correctly.\n\nYou were pregnant at the time of surgery.

I did not get a period for 6 months after I had my son and my tubal ligation(both withen 2 days of each other). I bled for 3 weeks after that and then did not get a period for 6 months. The doctor did a preg. test that came back neg. and told me not to worry about it.Eventually it came back. Call your doc.

First of all, a D&C does NOTHING for the tubes, so ignore the response you got above. A D&C (Dilation & Curettage - NOT "DNC") is a non-surgical procedure where the doctor scrapes the lining of the uterus. D&Cs are done after a pregnancy/miscarriage (evacuation D&C) and as a diagnostic measure in women who are experiencing unexplained heavy bleeding and other specific uterine-related symptoms. So, no, a D&C won't help your tubal occlusion whatsoever. Moving on...the first thing you need to do is find out if in fact you actually DO have a tubal blockage. A hysterosalpingogram is a good way to start diagnosing if in fact that is the case. You can read about how they perform the HSG here: http://www.ivf.com/fert_hysterosalpingogram.html.  \n\nThough an HSG cannot technically treat a blockage, sometimes the forcing of the dye used in the procedure through the tubes will actually clear the occlusion; some women have in fact gotten pregnant after an HSG without further intervention. Your doctor may want to, and probably should, perform the HSG in conjunction with a laparoscopy to determine what other problems might present and causing your infertility. Performing the surgery can help treat the underlying cause and may even prevent the need for future IVF protocols. But let's not jump ahead...if you are under 35 and have been trying for a year, or over 35 and have been trying for 6 mons., your first step is to talk to a knowledgeable reproductive endocrinologist. He or she will talk about options and help you decide on the best diagnostics and treatments for your specific case. There is no reason to assume that, with help for whatever may be causing your infertility, you will not be able to have a child. They can perform miracles nowadays, so don't lose hope! Just start by talking to your doc before you psych yourself all out. Good luck and best wishes.

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.

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.

I got a tubaligation yrs ago.. haven't wanted to get it reversed, but was told that I could.  With a 50/50 chance of getting preganat.\n\nIts expensive though...

A specialist would have to determine that.  Reversal depends on a few factors: How your tubal ligation was done (whether your fallopian tubes were cut, tied, cauterized or non-surgically blocked), at what point in your fallopian tubes the sterilization took place, just how much of your fallopian tube is left, how healthy your fallopian tubes are, and your age.

Tubal sterilization is a surgical operation. It closes off the fallopian tubes, where eggs are fertilized by sperm. When the tubes are closed, sperm cannot reach the egg, and pregnancy cannot happen. \n\nSterilization does not affect femininity. Sterilization will not affect your sexual organs, or your sexuality. No glands or organs will be removed or changed. All of your hormones will still be produced. Your ovaries will release an egg every month. Your menstrual cycles will most likely follow their regular pattern. \n\nSterilization is more than 99 percent effective. In very rare cases, tubes may reconnect by themselves, and pregnancy may occur. Such rare pregnancies may develop outside the uterus (womb) and require emergency surgery. \n\nYou must consider the operation permanent. You and your partner will need no other birth control method after a successful tubal sterilization. It may be possible to reverse the operation in some cases, but your decision not to have a child in the future must be firm. You must be absolutely sure you will never change your mind or regret your choice - no matter how your life changes. \n\nSterilization will not cause symptoms of menopause (change of life) or make menopause happen earlier. \n\nYour partner also may want to consider sterilization. Sterilization for men is called vasectorny. Vasectomy is simpler, costs less, and has fewer risks than tubal sterilization. Vasectomy also must be considered permanent however, so think carefully about what sterilization will mean for both of you before you make your decision. \n\nHOW IS IT PERFORMED?\n\nThe procedure requires a small incision in the abdominal area near the navel and sometimes a second small incision near the pubic hairline. The surgeon inserts a slender instrument (laparoscope) and seals the fallopian tubes so that eggs can no longer pass through to become fertilized. The procedure takes about 20-30 minutes, and patients rest in a recovery room for 1-2 hours. For women seeking first-trimester abortion and tubal ligation, Planned Parenthood offers these two procedures as a combined service on the same day. \n\nDOES THE OPERATION HURT? \n\nIf you have your tubal ligation at the Planned Parenthood clinic, you will be given local anesthesia and IV sedation to help you relax, but you will not be asleep. You may feel some mild discomfort during the operation. If you prefer to be completely asleep during the surgery, a gynecologist from Planned Parenthood will perform the tubal ligation under general anesthesia at a nearby hospital. \n\nWHO WILL PERFORM MY OPERATION?\n\nThe procedure is performed by a female Board-certified gynecologist experienced in laparoscopic tubal ligation procedures. \n\nWHAT WILL THE SURGERY BE LIKE?\n\nThe surgery consists of the following steps: \n\nIV is started, medications given. \nAn instrument called a uterine elevator is inserted into the vagina. \nUnder local anesthesia, the physician will make an incision approximately 3/4" at the umbilicus (belly button). \nThrough the incision a harmless gas (carbon dioxide) is passed to inflate the abdomen and isolate the fallopian tubes. \nA laparoscope is inserted through the incision with allows the M.D. to visualize the fallopian tubes. \nOnce the tubes have been isolated and anesthetized a grasping rod is passed through the laparoscope. A low voltage current is emitted from the rod, sealing each fallopian tube. \nAll instruments are removed; a bandaid is placed to cover the incision which has been sealed with 2-3 dissolvable stitches. \nThe entire procedure will take an average of 25-40 minutes. Throughout the procedure, pressure and moderate abdominal cramping may be felt along with discomfort associated with anesthesia administration in cervix (needlestick). Additionally, there may be a small to moderate amount of vaginal bleeding, cramping and bloating 1-3 days after the procedure. \nHOW DO I PREPARE FOR THE SURGERY?\n\nAt a clinic visit before the surgery

unfortunately yes.  One of my co-workers had her tubes tied for 2 years.  She was experiencing pain in one of her breasts and went to he OB/GYN, only to learn she was 3 months pregnant.  But don't just rely on my hearsay.  See following link:

You may have an ectopic pregnancy if you have recently had unprotected sex.  If you are usually regular then I would go see your doctor.

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

SORRY, BUT YOU ARE MARRIED TO A MALE CHAUVINIST PIG.  HOW DARE HIM EXPECT YOU TO HAVE YOUR TUBES TIED WHEN HE IS THE ONE NOT WANTING ANY MORE CHILDREN.  DOES HE NOT REALIZE THAT HE CAN HAVE HIS NUTS CUT ONE DAY AND BE BACK AT WORK THE NEXT.  IF YOU HAVE YOUR TUBES TIED, IT IS AN ACTUAL SURGERY THAT TAKES A MINIMAL OF A WEEKS RECOVERY TIME.  TELL HIM TO GET NEUTERED OR GET USED TO HAVING A GREASY PALM.  YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO TAKE BIRTH CONTROL (WHICH BY THE WAY IS UNHEALTHY TO TAKE FOR TOO LONG) JUST BECAUSE HE WANTS TO GET HIS JOLLIES BUT NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BIRTH CONTROL.  WHAT A PIG.\nI'M SORRY I'M IN ALL CAPS - BUT THIS REALLY PISSES ME OFF!!!!!

Yes you can get pregnat. Even one time having unprotected sex you can get pregnant. As they say, it only takes one time. Even  if you are on birth control, there is still a small chance one could get pregnant. It  has been known to happen. Best thing to prevent is to use a condom.

No - get your tubes tied
