A member asked:

How likely is pregnancy following a tubal ligation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Much less than: 1% but not 0, tubals can fail depends how it was done, who did it, some have a higher failure rate than others if u think u are preg u need evaluation asap as u must make sure it is not ssuck in the tube.
