A member asked:

Had a tubal ligation 9 months ago after my third child, never been late untill now 2 weeks, is there a chance for pregnancy & how will i know?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Home pregnancy test: Take a home pregnancy test. Chances of pregnancy at 27 after tubal ligation are around 1 in 200. Not very high, but not zero either.

Dr Honore and another doctor agreed
