Can you still get pregnant if your tubes are tied?

Answer 1

The U.S. Collaborative Review of Sterilization (CREST) found the failure rate for tubal ligation (all occlusion methods) to be 1.85% after 10 years.

Of the sterilization failures in CREST, one third were ectopic pregnancies (not within the uterus).

Because of the high rate of ectopic pregnancy, women of child bearing age who have had tubal sterilization should have a pregnancy test performed if they have not had a menstrual period. If the woman is pregnant, then she should be evaluated further for the presence of an ectopic pregnancy

Answer 2

YES! There is apparently a 2% failure rate with tubal ligations. I am in that 2%. I had an ectopic pregnancy and they supposedly took out one tube and tied off the other, yet here I am, 16 weeks pregnant with baby #6 (yes.. that's a 6).

The odds are slim, but it can happen.

Answer 3

By the grace of god...why did you get your tubes tied if you wanted (more) children? I'm a med student and I know for a fact that even if you have a tubal reversal, chances are you still won't get pregnant.

Answer 4

Yes, if the procedure goes well and the tubes reheal after the scarring. In some cases you can never undo a procedure like that. If you meant "Can you get pregnant after getting your tubes tied?" the answer is yes but 99.99% of the time you will not become pregnant. If you do then that baby spermatozoa sure is a super trooper.

Answer 5

Can I still get pregnant while having my tubes tied and can they come untied on their own

Answer 6

If the procedure was done correctly, no, you cannot get pregnant after your tubes were cut, cauterized, & tied. After all, that is the intended purpose of the procedure.

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

Yes
