How successful is tubal ligation reversal if you've had a tubal ligation 12 years ago?

Answer 1

Tubal ligation is a permanent fix. It cuts, ties and burns the tubes whereas making it almost impossible for the egg to pass through for fertilization. There is only a 0.5 percent chance I believe that you could then get pregnant. This is not birth control, its a permanent solution to no longer have more children.

Yes it is possible to fall pregnant after a tubal ligation. If you do happen to fall pregnant naturally, the chance of a eptopic pregnancy (in the fallopian tube) is very high. falling pregnant naturally is very slim only happening to 1% of tubal ligations. however, if you want to fall pregnant on purpose, getting a reversal is the best opiton, women have fallen pregnant getting reversals as many as 8 years after the initial tubal ligation (of course its not to say it cant happen with later operations)but intially the sooner the better for success. goodluck
Yes. A tubal ligation is approximately 99% effective during the first year after it is done.After that its effectiveness may be reduced slightly with the onset of time assince the fallopian tubes can, in some cases, reform or reconnect and this can lead to unwanted pregnancy. Method failure is difficult to detect, except by subsequent pregnancy, If pregnancy does occur it carries a 33% chance of being an ectopic pregnancy.

Answer 3

Tubal ligationNothing is 100 percent effective, but tubal ligation, when done properly, is more than 99 percent effective. It is easier for doctors to perform this at the same time you have a C-section because it is easy for them to see exactly what they are doing since they actually take your uterus out of your body and then put it back in. It is also the most effective when your tubes are cut, tied and burned.

When a tubal is performed laproscopically, it is best to wait after your body heals from having a baby. If you have a vaginal birth, and the doctor performs a tubal on you within the next couple of days, there is a higher rate for failure because you are so swollen, and it is more difficult for the doctor to see things laproscopically at that time.

I asked my doctor what the failure rate was for tubal ligations, and she said it was about 6 in 1,000. So all in all, it is pretty effective.

Answer 4

Tubal ligation reversal surgery is much more successful than many realize. I recent study published by Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center fives the actual statistics. The two main factors are the type of ligation that was performed as well as your age at the time of reversal. Another factor to keep in mind is the experience the surgeon has (pretty self explanatory).

Answer 5

Infertility is the desired effect of tubal ligation. Unfortunately for some women it comes with side effects that most doctors seldom mention; Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome. Because it is a complicated condition I am going to supply links that give you more information than I can supply.

Answer 6

While tubal ligation are considered permanent, they are not fool proof. The odds are low but however it is possible to still get pregnant.

Answer 7

Tubal ligation is one of the leading methods of contraception, having been chosen by over 10 million women in the United States--about 15% of women of reproductive age.
