Question 1

possibility of pregnancy after tubal ligation?

Accepted Answer

Risk is low: but not even tubal ligation has a 100% efficacy rate. Tade care.

Question 2

what are signs of pregnancy after tubal ligation?

Accepted Answer

Post tubal pregnancy: You should see your gynecologist and have a urine or serum pregnancy test done. A pregnancy subsequent to tubal ligation is at very high risk for a ectopic pregnancy and this will require laparoscopic intervention and could be dangerous if not caught in time.

Question 3

i have a question about ectopic pregnancies after a tubal ligation. higher risk than before?

Accepted Answer

Rare: It is rare to get pregnant after tubal ligation, if fertilization  occurs by chance it is possible to have tubal pregnancy, then high chances the embryo getting lodged in the tube.

Question 4

can you tell me about pregnancy after a tubal ligation?

Accepted Answer

Test tube pregnancy: A reproductive endocrinologist would have to determine, if the tubes can be reconnected. If that is possible, they may give you chances for a tubal pregnancy between 20 and 50 %. It may be cheaper and more effective to go with test tube fertilization.

Question 5

what are the main signs of pregnancy after a tubal ligation?

Accepted Answer

No different: Pregnancy symptoms are no different after a failed tubal ligation as with a normal pregnancy. Caution has to be made since a tubal pregnancy may occur with more vague pregnancy signs.

Question 6

what are the chances of having an ectopic pregnancy after a tubal ligation?

Accepted Answer

Small: The chances of an ectopic pregnancy after tubal ligation is small, usually in the 1% range.

Question 7

tubal ligation in 1996. mirena five years ago. i am having pregnancy symptoms. is it possible to still get pregnant? i had the mirena put in because of a couple ectopic pregnancies after the tubal ligation. i just hit the five year mark on the mirena.

Accepted Answer

Possible, : Possible, yes, though not very likely.

As you probably know, ectopic pregnancy can be very dangerous, so if you are having abdominal pain, it would be a good idea to see your doctor right away.  Obviously, a home pregnancy test that is positive would require a doctor visit.

Question 8

is pregnancy possible after tubal ligation? my last period was not normal, very light and spotty. this period is kinda abnormal. bleeding but no cramping. my feet are seriously swollen..also not normal for me. i took 3 test a few weeks ago and they were f

Accepted Answer

There : There is always a chance that a tubal ligation failed to completely occlude the tube.  Your 11 year history of no pregnancy would suggest that this was an effective procedure if you were sexually active during this period.  Three faint positive home pregnancy tests however are very suggestive that you were pregnant.  If you plan to be sexually active and rely on the tubal ligation for contraception, i would strongly recommend getting a procedure called a hysterosalpingogram (hsg) to check if your tubes are occluded or not.  A tube which is not completely occluded can allow a pregnancy to occur in the fallopian tube (ectopic pregnancy) which can be a very dangerous condition.  If the two negative tests were taken on later days, this could have been an early pregnancy that stopped on its own.  The safest thing to do to interpret what is happening now is to get your doctor to order a blood pregnancy test (quantitative HCG serum test).

Question 9

what is the possability and risks of pregnancy occuring after both a tubal ligation with a uteral ablation! how rare is it and can it occur twice?

Accepted Answer

Much less than 1%: Endometrial ablation is not a sterilization procedure and cannot be relied on for pregnancy prevention, though it probably reduces the risk.  Most methods of tubal ligation have failure rates of less than 1%, so one can get pregnant after having both and lightning can strike twice!

Question 10

i wish to have another child, had a tubal ligation, and suffered from hyperemesis gravidarium with all 3 of my pregnancies. is age a factor with this?

Accepted Answer

Probably not.: It is rare, but not age related...Good luck!
