Q: Can I Be Pregnant After Tubal?
asked by: mommyofTwo on May 5th, 2005

I had my tubes cut and burned 2 years ago. My last period was march 18. No period for the month of april and here we are on may 5 th. I usulally have period between 28-35 days. That would make me 13-20 days late!!!!! :shock:
the only symptoms I have are bloating and sore boobies. But I have that with my period too. I took a home pg test and it came out negative. (i had also taken one with my 1st child, and it was also negative). Should I get a blood test done? I don't want to be paranoid. So what should I do? P.S. I am only 22 so menopause isn't really the answer. Any replies would be really helpful.

My husband is going to see if he can get me a doc. Appt. Tomorrow. I took another home pg test and it's still saying negative. Has anyone had negative test results. I don't know why I would be so late. I'm not stressing.

I know this is late and well after the first message was posted, however, I have heard of someone who became pregnant after her tubes were cut and burned. She even has a website about it.

I had to edit this because I realized I didn't quite answer your question. But it's definitely possible to become pregnant after tubal ligation.

I need to learn to read things better.

:?: I too would like to see the ladies web site who became pregnant after having her tubes burned and tied....I really want to know if this is possible becuase mines are tied and burned and I know its very costly to get it reversed and not a high enough chance of becoming pregnant even afterward

I think it is possible to become pregnant but the fetus would start to develop in the tube. I knew of lady who was pregnant but nearly died because of internal bleeding when her tube was ruptured.

If you tubes were just tied, you'd have a higher chance of being pregnant.

I too have had my tubes tied and burned and i'm currently trying to figure out whats going on with me. My boobs have been sore and leaking for a few months and i've gain about 10lbs, but other than that I have no other symptoms associated with pregnancy. Anyone know what else would cause that if i'm not pregnant?

Can anyone tell me what that website is? I'd love to chaeck it out!

Researching the web, I found these sites that would be helpful in answering your questions about getting pregnant after a tubal. I agree that after so many weeks, it would be greatly painful if there were a tubal pregnancy, but in rare instances, a regular pregnancy can happen.

Http://healthresources.Caremark.Com/topic/ topic13025
can I be absolutely sure an egg won't slip through?
Unfortunately, no. About 4 out of 100 women will get pregnant during the first 10 years after their tubes are tied. (an egg has less chance of slipping through if you have your tubes closed by cauterization, or burning.) if you do become pregnant, be sure to see your doctor right away; there's an increased risk that the egg will be implanted in your fallopian tubes or abdomen, rather than in your uterus.
"""""""""""""""'
this site says the exact thing (word for word!):
http://www.Ahealthyme.Com/topic/topic13025
"""""""""""""""
according to this site, tubal ligation is 99.16% effective, meaning, yes, you can get pregnant.
Http://www.Essure.Com/essurepermanentbirth controlbyconceptus/comparing/essuretuballi gation/tabid/65/default.Aspx
""""""""""""""'
http://www.Aafp.Org/afp/20030315/1287.Html
failure
while tubal sterilization is intended to permanently prevent conception, failures do occur. Reasons for failure include undetected luteal pregnancy, occlusion of an incorrect structure (most commonly the round ligament), incomplete or inadequate occlusion, slippage of a mechanical device, development of a tuboperitoneal fistula, and spontaneous re-anastomosis or recanalization of the cut ends.11

hope this helps!!! 8)
