You absolutely can become pregnant after tubal ligation. Approximately 1 out of 200 women who have had a tubal ligation will get pregnant [Medline]. Have your doctor give you a blood test ASAP to rule it out, as the rate of ectopic pregnancy risk 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]. In any event, you need to make sure, as ectopics don't always show up on a HPT and it's often ignored until it reaches the emergency stage when the tube ruptures.  Good luck, I hope it turns out as you want.

Yes you will still ovulate, but with your tubes tied the egg will never get fertilized, so you will still have periods.

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

Yes, there CAN be side effects to getting your tubes tied. It depends on the doctor. They've really got to know what they're doing! I have a friend who had her tubes tied 2 yrs ago, and now experiences a lot of back pain and sometimes pain on the sides. Sometimes she can feel the pinching! Then a friend of hers, went to the same doctor no less than a yr ago, and is experiencing the same pains, and has had two strings coming out from her belly button! This is no joke! She had to go back to the doc. to get it fixed! Some docs. don't know what they're doing and you could end up with these problems, or even pregnancy! So...if u decide u want to get your tubes tied, I'd suggest u make sure the doc. that's going to "fix" u, has a good rep.!!!

im sure your doctor would know the differrence between and infection or even maybe a cyst and  an actual (ectopic pregnancy) which is actually where the baby begins to develope in the fallopian tubes. it is very rare because it would mean that the tubal ligation was not done correctly/securely. did you have them tied and singed or just tied which can be reversed later/ i would say though that it is just thickened scar tissue. from the tubal being done. but possible a cyst which needs to be checked out immediatly though. no matter what go to another doc for a second opinion

I did not get a period for 6 months after I had my son and my tubal ligation(both withen 2 days of each other). I bled for 3 weeks after that and then did not get a period for 6 months. The doctor did a preg. test that came back neg. and told me not to worry about it.Eventually it came back. Call your doc.

i've seen in the u.s. where a dr was willing to write " release blockage of fallopian tubes"  and insurance covered it.  don't put it as a reversal or they won't.  creative writing, baby!  i have worked it the medical field for 30 yrs, i've seen just about everything!!!

When you say tubal do you mean a tubal ligation or a tubal pregnancy?  There are some health concerns when a woman does not have her period (not pregnant), but if you and your doctor have talked these over and done the appropriate tests then you don't have to be worried.  This happened to me and I had to insist on finding out why, my doctor at the time just said "aren't you happy to not have a period?"  Of course I was but since it wasn't normal I wanted to make sure my health was okay.  I found out I have PCOS and that is being treated.

There is a small chance of getting pregnant after a tubal ligation.\n\nThere is a small chance of getting pregnant after a visectomy.\n\nWith the two, the odds are incredibly small. The man even goes back to the dr 6 mos after the procedure to give a sample and make sure he's shooting blanks.\n\nThat's the plan my husband and I are going to go with. (I can't bear the thought of being on birth control for the next 30 years.)\n\nAnd we figure, if there's a pregnancy through all of that, with those odds, then that qualifies as the will of God, and we won't argue with it.

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.

I had a tr in 2002 and researched it for 3 years prior! I own 3 tr groups online that you are more then welcome to join there are 189 members in it and I am sure that someone can point you in the right direction! Don't listen to the person above me about IVF it is very very expensive etc, TR's are the way to go :)

Absolutely they will.  If they give you any flack about it you need to find a new doctor.  I had mine tied at age 24 having no kids and had to try five different docs before finding one who would do it but they did it.  You should have an easier time, being older than I was.

A specialist would have to determine that.  Reversal depends on a few factors: How your tubal ligation was done (whether your fallopian tubes were cut, tied, cauterized or non-surgically blocked), at what point in your fallopian tubes the sterilization took place, just how much of your fallopian tube is left, how healthy your fallopian tubes are, and your age.

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.

I had a tubal in 2001, with no side effects.  Periods the same, libido the same.  I am happier not having to worry or think about getting a shot or taking a pill. Here is what some of the experts say:   \nSide effects after tubal sterilization are rare. While many women complain of pain or abnormal bleeding after the surgery, many of them were on the birth control pill previously, and this masked symptoms of hormonal imbalances. When the pills are stopped after surgery, the symptoms show up. In reality, the likelihood of menstrual disturbances or pelvic pain developing is no greater after tubal sterilization procedures than in women who have not had such surgery.\nRarely, adhesions form at the site of the tubal coagulation (not "cauterization," which would technically mean just burning the outside of the tube).  http://health.ivillage.com/gyno/gynobc/0,,5lj9,00.html\n\nThis site says there are a lot of side effects.  It sounds like they believe there is a conspiracy.  I am not sure where they have gotten their facts as they are not substantiated or sourced....http://www.tubal.org/campaginStart.htm\n\nRisks    Return to top \n\nRisks due to anesthesia include:\n\nReactions to medications \nProblems breathing \nRisks of any surgery include: \nBleeding \nInfection \nAdditional risks for tubal ligation include: \nIncomplete closure of the tubes, with possible continued fertility. Approximately 1 out of 200 women who have had tubal ligation will get pregnant. \nIncreased risk of an ectopic (tubal) pregnancy if pregnancy occurs after a tubal ligation. \nInjury to adjacent organs or structures caused by the laparoscopic instruments. \nExpectations after surgery:  Most women recover with no problems. There are no tests required to verify sterility.\n\nhttp://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/002913.htm

Usually depends on the State you live in, your age, how many children you have, financial status, etc. I know that in Oklahoma, if you are on Medicaid (welfare), you can't get your tubes tied until you are 21 years old, no matter the cicumstance (that is if you want Medicaid to pay for it).

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
