Women have less than a 2% chance of becoming pregnant naturally after having a tubal ligation. If you feel that you may be pregnant after a tubal ligation you should see a Dr as soon as possible to rule out an ectopic pregnancy. Women who have had a tubal ligation are at a high risk for ectopic pregnancy which can be life threatening.
The failure rate for female tubal ligation after five years is about .1 percent or about one tenth of one percent. In other words, about one in 1000 patients become pregnant within five years of a tubal ligation.
Tubal Ligation is meant to be permanent and most women will not be able to get pregnant after. TLs can fail and the woman may become pregnant, the failure rate or percentages are less than .05% And if woman had a TL then ALSO got an IUD she probably wouldn't have to worry at all.
