Yes, but...: Yes, pregnancy may be possible by using in vitro fertilization (IVF), if a woman is still ovulating and in good health. It is rare to get pregnant the natural way after having a tubal ligation.

Yes: The length of time your tubes are tied is a zero factor. Success depends on three factors: 1. Skill of the surgeon, 2. Length of tubal segments remaining, and 3. Age of the patient. In skilled hands, the surgery is safe and the risk of an ectopic is less than 5%. Ivf is also an option but generally costs a lot more. Hope this helps. Good luck.
