Question 1

i heard of the side effects of tubal ligation, like when your tubes are tied you are cutting the blood supply to the ovaries and therefore causing a?

Accepted Answer

Tubal Ligation: A properly performed tubal ligation (or cautery of the tubes) will not interrupt the circulation to the ovaries.  If this is done, your ovaries are still producing hormones, and you will have menstrual cycles which will produce PMS with both ovulation and with your period.  Ask your gyn provider about low dose birth control pills, which stop ovarian production of estrogen.

Question 2

is it normal to spot during ovulation of you've had your tubes tied?  i had a tubal ligation 13 years ago and i just started spotting recently.

Accepted Answer

Spotting w/Ovulation: Some women spot with ovulation . It does not matter if you had a tubal ligation. The hormonal change can trigger this. You may also have something else going on, so see a provider and check this out!

Question 3

what is done when a tubal ligation clip falls off the fallopian tube  and into the pelvis? what are the odds of pregnancy?  could this cause pain?

Accepted Answer

Open tube: If a Filshie clips falls off then that patient may be at risk of getting pregnant as the tube could potentially be open. If pregnancy is not desired an alternative surgery should be considered. Flishie clips are designed to stay on the body but if it can be retrieved and removed during a repeat surgery we would remove it

Question 4

are your tubes able to grow  back together after so long from a tubal ligation?

Accepted Answer

Very rare: Although listed as a possibility, this is extremely rare.  These days most surgeons not only tie the ends, but also cauterize each side.  The chance of both sides coming untied and rejoining despite being cauterized is very, very low.

Question 5

i had an tubal ligation done on 04/06/09 and we doesn't have enough money to get my tubes reverse. does red clover pills or tea help heal your tubes?

Accepted Answer

No: Once you have had a tubal ligation the only treatment is putting the tubes back together surgically. IVF had gotten so much better that it is often used instead because the pregnancy rate is higher. Sorry I can't give you better news. Even with insurance these are often not covered.

Question 6

can i become pregnant two months after tubal ligation? not sure if i was cut, tied or burnt. pregnancy test is neg, still feeling pregnancy symptoms

Accepted Answer

Not if ligation was: done correctly. Did you miss a period? If you did, you may wish to repeat the pregnancy test, use first morning urine and follow the instructions in the kit carefully.

Question 7

what does it mean when you hear a pop sound when having sex if your tubes are tied does it mean my tubes came untied because i eat slot of flour plus i'm having symptoms of pregnancy and when i smoke cigarettes i get dizzy and sick every morning?

Accepted Answer

: It would be extremely unlikely for that to happen, and if it did you would not be able to hear it. if you think your other symptoms are possible signs of pregnancy, I would do a pregnancy test first. If you are still having issues, you should see your gynecologist. Good luck.

Question 8

i have had a tubal ligation done eight years ago i was wondering is it possible still get pregnant? because i seem to be having pregnancy symptoms.

Accepted Answer

Tubals can fail: Not very often but easy to check a urine preg test , if - and u are still worried see your gyn for a blood preg test which will be + a few days before the missed period and if u are preg- hopefully not - your obgyn needs to follow u closely since u would be more at risk for a tubal( ectopic pregnancy) due to the fact you had a tubal and the tubes were damaged by the tubal.

Question 9

i am having pregnancy symptoms with a tubal ligation. could it menopause? i am only 26.

Accepted Answer

It is possible: Menopause would be very unlikely.  A pregnancy test would confirm the diagnosis.  If the pregnancy test is positive he should see a physician right away.

Question 10

tubal ligation 2 yrs ago.lmp april 29.normal.passed 2wks w- symptoms of pregnancy.plus positive test with faint line.bleeding started tues.post test?

Accepted Answer

Confirm: Tubal ligation has a failure rate of 1 in 300. Most are due to something called a tubal fistula.  Basically anytime you tie, clip or burn part of a tubal structure it might form an abnormal opening associated with the procedure.  This is also a cause of vasectomy failure.  Confirm your home test with a blood pregnancy test as the rate of tubal pregnancy is quite high here.
