A member asked:

Can the tubal ligation fail with in a 3 month time frame?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A tubal can fail: At any time if you think you are pregnant please see your obgyn asap as #1 you need to know if you are and #2 if you had a tubal then you have an increased chance that it could be ( hopefully not) an ectopic pregnancy caught in the tube if you are pregnant.
