can you have a live birth after you get tubes tied?

Tubal ligations are 99.5% effective as birth control. Approximately 1 out of 200 women who have had tubal ligation will get pregnant. There is though an increased risk of an ectopic (tubal) pregnancy if pregnancy occurs after a tubal ligation. After some time there is a also a potential of tissue rejoining the tubes together.\nTubal reversal is possible.  Not all women who have had a tubal ligation will be able to have the procedure reversed. During your initial assessment for the procedure, your fertility specialist will examine the current health of your fallopian tubes, most likely through laparoscopy. She will also look over the surgery and pathology reports from when you originally had the procedure done. Tubal reversal would cost around $5000 and up. Invitro typically costs more. This link shows where this procedure can be done, state by state and more info about this type of surgery. \nhttp://www.ihr.com/infertility/provider/tubal_reversal.html?source=overture

Well obviously you know you don't need it for contraception.  If it worked for cramps before, it should work now.  The only thing a tubal ligation changes is preventing your eggs from reaching your uterus.  Your eggs are still there and your hormones shouldn't change.  If your periods are normal now there shouldn't be a problem with you starting it again.

I have the same thing.  If you talk to your OB/GYN they can prescribe a pain medicine for when you have cramps.  Also, be very careful if you are trying to conceive.  It can cause problems for you and the baby.  This has caused me to have two ectopic pregnancies.  Make sure that your doctor does an ultrasound as soon as possible to ensure the baby is in the correct place.\n\nWhile many individuals do benefit from the laser surgery, endometriosis can return after the surgery.  With my first surgery, they removed as much as possible and it was back within two years.

No, there have been plenty of women who've had cryotherapy and gone on to have children.  If it has any effect at all, it will be on the cervix' ability to efface and dialate during delivery, or it may dialate too easily beforehand.  If it looks as if it will dialate early, the ob can easily perform a procedure called cerclage where a stitch is put in to hold it closed.  If it doesn't thin and dialate properly during labor, you would require a c-section, of course.  But it will not affect your abilty to get pregnant in the first place.  The doctor treating you will be the best person to ask as far as timing for a second pregnancy, to give you time to heal properly after the cryotherapy.  The procedure will scar the cervix permanently, and any OB you see will notice it.  They will need to know all your prior medical history, and will probably keep a close eye on you during the pregnancy to watch for early dialation.   It's not an uncommon procedure for treating this type problem, and the sooner you have it done, the less invasive it will need to be- less scaring on the cervix in the end.  Also, it will help possibly prevent the need for a more major surgery which could preclude a second pregnancy.  I'd say have a good talk with the OB-GYN and tell him/her your concerns.  They can help give you more information and assurances than anyone here.  But for your own peace of mind in the meantime- no it doesn't keep you from getting pregnant. My own sister had the procedure at 25 and went on to have two healthy girls.  Good luck!

Yes.  Tubal ligaion only prevents conception.

Well,ideally speaking,you should wait for 1 full year after your C-section before getting pregnant.This allows the uterine scar to heal thoroughly,thus reducing the chances of uterine rupture in your next  labour,and also to reduce the risk of the placenta attaching to the site of incision ,causing different problems.\nBUT,when all is said and done,you are only 5 months away from the 'ideal' and l have known patients who delivered safely in similar circustances to yours,so don't worry.The 'ideal' is a guide and not an absolute.

yes, only sterilization and abstinence are pretty much guaranteed to prevent pregnancy there is a rare chance you could become pregnant after being sterilized breast feeding is used as a contraceptive method however it is not foolproof

The 10 year failure rate of tubal ligation is just under 2%.  So, it's possible but highly unlikely.\n\nIf you DO become pregnant following a tubal, though, the chances of an ectopic pregnancy are about 1 in 3, so if you think you're pregnant, please see a doctor immediately.

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!

Yes, a fetus can still be alive, but immediate medical attention is necessary to be sure, and to possibly save the fetus.\n\n\n\nwwww.mommastayshome.com

Approximately 1 out of every 200 women who have had tubal ligations will get pregnant [ref: Medline], and the rate of having a dangerous ectopic pregnancy is drastically increased in women who have undergone TL [about 7 ectopic pregnancies per 1,000 procedures - may not seem like a lot unless you are the one w/the ectopic].\n\nThere are ways to reverse the procedure, should you find it necessary down the road.

It depends on your needs. I have done many ultrasounds on women you have gotten pregnant while having an IUD in place. So for that matter, a tubal ligation is better at stopping an unwanted pregnancy. However, a tubal ligation is permanent. If you plan to have children someday, than an IUD is better than a tubal ligation because you can have it removed so that you may get pregnant.

Neither is 100% gauranteed.  My aunt got pregnant 10 years after having her tubes tied.  And I have heard of males still getting woman pregnant after vasectomy.  If you really don't want any more, I would say yes, you should both "get fixed" for the best protection :)

It's far from impossible - make sure you use a barrier method of birth control during Lupron therapy, as all GnRH drugs are category X (meaning they hold high risks of causing permanent damage to the fetus).\n\nYour doctor probably prescribed the BCPs not for contraception, but as addback therapy.  Addback is very important to take with Lupron in order to minimize some of the more common side effects, including bone density loss.  You should talk to him about his reason and make sure you don't need the pills.\n\nIf this is your second time on Lupron (meaning you've already undergone a 6 mon. course of the 3.75 mg dosage or a 3 mon. course of 11.25 mg), then you *must* take the addback.  The FDA has only approved re-treatment with Lupron provided addback is given.  Any other administration is considered off-label and thereby not the accepted standard of care.\n\nPS:  regarding the above comment re: tubal ligations...evidence-based data shows that an average of 1 out of 100 women become pregnant each year after tubal ligations (having their "tubes tied").  About 1 out of 3 of those subsequent pregnancies are ectopic, which can be potentially life-threatening and require emergency surgery to treat. Tubal ligations are not 100% effective.  While the risks of pregnancy are low, if you're that one woman who gets pregnant, possibly with an ectopic, statistics don't matter.  But it should be known that even "sterilization" is not 100% effective against pregnancy (unless the surgery also involves removing the uterus).

Yes, as long as the cells of the fetus you plan to use are still alive.

I don't know for certain, but I want to say yes. I read something about that on a web site.I don't know what the symptoms may be. Try going to "ivillage.com" Go to the pregnancy section and type in "tubal ligation", and it'll list a buch of info and question/answers. I love that site. It's a women's heath site.

Oh my god that must be such a shock for you! Well they say that the older you are there are a number of increased risks to both mother and baby....for the baby things like premature labour or low birth weight.\n\nWhile there is alot of stigma going around about it, my own mother had me at 35 and my borther at 36 and we are perfectly healthy.\n\nIf i were you I'd to some thorough research over the net, you might find the following articlesof use.  I'd definately go and see your GP and ask them to make you an appointment at the ante-natal clinic who will be able to answer all your questions.\n\nAs for having your tubes tied, i guess it just can't be 100% effective, I know that some women have the procedure done and then get it reversed and go on to have babies.  I guess your body must have just adapted over the last 13 years....i personally can't explain it.\n\nTry this forum page with other people that have been in your situation:\n\nhttp://www.medhelp.org/forums/Maternal/messages/33569.html\n\nI really hope everything works out how you want it to.
