Virtually zero HAVE to say something on this: To my understanding, if a woman is having normal periods, she is still ovulating and that means she can get pregnant. Tubal ligations are 99 percent effective -- apparently but I know not just one but several people who have gotten pregnant after a tubal ligation -- sometimes 10 to 20 years after. Because you had a tubal ligation, your chances of this pregnancy being ectopic (outside the uterus) are increased. One percent is one percent -- that means there is still a chance and if you count the odds over time and sexual activity, it would seem the chance is greater. Don't assume you are not pregnant because of your age. It is ovulation that matters.

What is the chances of you getting pregnant after your tubes were clamped 7 year's ago?

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.

Has anyone had a hysterectomy years after getting a tubal ligation and does that create complications later on down the road with your periods?

Having a tubal ligation makes no difference to your periods. If you have a hysterectomy you will no longer have periods, well not the bleeding anyway. If you do not have your ovaries removed you will still have pre-menstrual symptoms (if you have them) but you will no longer have cramps or bleeding. If your ovaries are removed as well you will go into the menopause.


Can you have a healthy pregnancy if you have had a tubal ligation?

Allow me to answer from experience....YES IT CAN. The chance is very small, from what I've read in the 1-2% range, but I myself am a child of pregnancy after tubal ligation. My mother had her tubes tied TWICE. After my brother was born she had a tubal ligation. Six years later she found herself pregnant with me. Upon having her tubes cut and burned further, the doctor said he had no idea how that could happen as everything looked still separated. Of course, you have to take the chances into the proper context; HIGHLY UNLIKELY, but entirely possible.

Can you get pregnant 8yrs after tubal ligation?

The more time that passes after a tubal ligation the (slightly) higher the risk of regeneration of the fallopian tube/s. It is extremely rare but it can happen. Because there is scar tissue from the tubal ligation, there is also an increase chance of a tubal pregnancy. If your period suddenly stops, whether you are having symptoms of pregnancy or not, take a pregnancy test or see your OB / GYN.
