A member asked:

I had a tubal ligation 5m ago. have had regular menstrual cycles until now. how likely is it that i could get pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It Depends: Tubal ligation failure rates vary depending on your age, and what type of procedure was done. In your age group pregnancy can occur in as many as 5.5/100 women in the 10 years following the procedure. If you are worried, do a home pregnancy test.
