A member asked:

I'm 35 and i have had a tubql ligation 10 years ago..... i have never gotten pregnant since however i have heard the longer amount of time this could become a possibility.... is this true?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not more likely: The risk for tubal failure remains, as long as you ovulate. Roughly 1/400 chance, 4 times better than oral contraceptive pills, but not zero risk.

Dr Hegab and another doctor agreed
