A member asked:
Is it possible to get pregnant after a tubal ligation that was done 21 years ago if you and your partner engage in unprotected sex?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: I don't know the percentages (presumably extremely low), but I know it is possible that occasionally ligations fail. Possibly an ObG will chime in here with statistics. Do you feel pregnant? Take a test. Just askin'? Talk it over with your doctor if you are worried, but if you have had unprotected sex over the intervening 21 years with the same person it is extremely unlikely.
