Depends: The chances of successfully reversing a tubal ligation depend on how they were ligated ("tied") in the first place. Ligations that use clips can sometimes be successfully reversed. However, tubal ligation is generally understood to be a form of sterilization. I recommend consulting your ob/gyn and considering alternate forms of having children (e.g., in vitro fertilization, adoption, surrogate).

Not likely: Do you still have periods? Have you been using any other birth control over these 16 years? Successful operation to tie the tubes prevents pregnancy almost with 100% efficiency.
