A member asked:

I had a tubal ligation (cauterization)10 yrs ago. i found out last month that i was pregnant which ended in m/c. what r the chances of another preg?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Very high: Your tubal ligation has obviously failed to prevent the egg and sperm from connecting and it can and will happen again without additional contraception. Fallopian tubes can re-canalize(go around the obstruction) when they are cauterized(burned) in only one place.
