Tubal ligation is not 100 percent effective, although it is nearly so. However, one ramification of the surgery is that periods can be irregular.

You have had your tubes tied for 9 years but have not had a period this month this mean you are pregnant?

The best way to tell if you are pregnant is to get a pregnancy test. The chances are slim considering you have had a tubal ligation, but not impossible. Also, depending on your age, you could be beginning menopause. Good luck!:(


Is it possible to get pregnant 15 years after tubal ligation?

Although natural pregnancy could occur it is very slim. If it does happen naturally there is a very good chance that it would be ectopic. The most natural way to have a child after having a tubal ligation is with tubal ligation reversal. Surprising to many is the fact the tubal reversal has a better pregnancy rate than the alternative treatment of IVF. Not only does tubal ligation reversal have a better success rate it is more natural and less expensive than the alternative.


Has ANONE HERE been told that they are pregnant after having the Falope Ring Tubaligation or know SOMEONE that has Was it ectopic or not?

Pregnancy after Tubal Ligation is very rare. It has less than a 2% failure rate and is considered permanent. Woman that do get pregnant afterward usually experience it in within the first 3 months during healing or several years later due to the tube healing back together. Women who have had tubal ligation are at greater risk for ectopic pregnancy which can be life threatening if left untreated. If you feel that you could be pregnant after a tubal ligation you should see a Dr immediately.


After a tubal ligation is there a test that can be taken that can tell you whether or not it has failed?

Only by a abdominal scan and tests. I doubt if you could tell if a tubal ligation is still intact with an ultrasound. The only way I am aware you could tell for sure would be with a laparoscopy or a hyysterosalpingogram (a test where dye is injected into the uterus and tubes and then an X-Ray is taken). Unless you have gotten pregnant, why would you suspect the tubal ligation is no longer effective?

Can you have a laparoscopic tubal ligation if you are pregnant and dont want the baby?

I suppose you could if you could find a doctor who would do it. If you are asking, "Will a tubal ligation get rid of the baby?", then, no. The baby is forming below the Fallopian tubes.
