How would i know my tubes untied?

Tubes to Tango: Unfortunately, a tubal ligation or "tube tying" is a permanent means of sterilization for a woman. When done properly the fallopian tube is cut, the ends are individually tied off and the tips are cauterized (burned) shut. All of this is designed to scar both ends of the tube and prevent sperm from ever reaching an ovulated egg. You would never know if they "untied" as this is not possible.
