Tubal reversal: No way to say as there is no practical way other than time to tell if the reversal was successful.

Accepted Answer

Tubal failure: Tubal procedure failure can occur in patients who had tubal ligation and that risk is abut 1 in 200.
Thus at 35yo with 14 years history of previous tubal ligation and have missed your menses, it is prudent to do the following:
1. Get a serum HCG 
2. Get a pelvic ultrasound to confirm location of pregnancy if positive and to rule out ectopic pregnancy.
3. Discuss the result with your doctor.
