What does it mean to get your tubes tied?
Getting your tubes tied is an expression for a tubal ligation procedure. Tubal ligation is form of female sterilization, a permanent birth control method. Tubal ligation is a surgical procedure that seals fallopian tubes and eliminates the chance of pregnancy.
Can a woman have a tubal insemination done after a tubal ligation?
Do you mean intrauterine insemination? With this procedure, semen/sperm is placed inside the uterus by a small flexible catheter that goes into the vagina and through the cervix. Tubal ligation involves blocking the fallopian tubes, making it nearly impossible for an egg to reach the uterus, and also nearly impossible for the sperm to meet the egg. So intrauterine insemination would not be helpful after a tubal ligation. The two options for pregnancy after tubal ligation are IVF or tubal reversal.
Can you still get sterilized while on your period?
By sterilized, do you mean tubal ligation? If so, sure you can.
Does a late period in a woman who received tubal ligation mean she could be pregnant?
Tubal ligation is not 100 percent effective, although it is nearly so. However, one ramification of the surgery is that periods can be irregular.
You have had your tubes tied for 9 years but have not had a period this month this mean you are pregnant?
The best way to tell if you are pregnant is to get a pregnancy test. The chances are slim considering you have had a tubal ligation, but not impossible. Also, depending on your age, you could be beginning menopause. Good luck!:(
