Possibly: There are procedures to reverse tube tying. The success rate of pregnancy after this procedure ranges from 40-85%, depending on age, type of initial tubal ligation, length of the remaining fallopian tubes, amount of scar tissue in the pelvis, and the surgeon's skill.

Tubes tied: Sometimes that can be reversed. You would need to talk to a gynecologist who performs that procedure to be evaluated and see what they think. I wish you the very best.

It's possible but...: Success rates vary according to your age, Type of tubal ligation procedure you had, Length of the remaining fallopian tubes, and whether they still work properly, Amount of scar tissue in your pelvic area, Results of your partner's sperm count and other fertility tests and the Surgeon's skill. It will require abdominal surgery.

Yes: A procedure called tubal ligation reversal is a surgery to reopen, untie, or reconnect a woman's fallopian tubes so she can become pregnant. In general, good candidates for tubal reversal are women who had only small parts of their fallopian tubes removed, or whose tubes were closed using rings or clips. Your GYN doctor will determine if you are a candidate.
