It's not likely. They don't come undone, if that's the concern.

However, in rare cases (1 in 1000) the tubal ligation may not have been done properly or completely in the first place, or through some quirk of anatomy or defect in the ligature, a sperm and an egg may be able to join in the abdominal cavity or in some other place.

If this is a concern, no harm is done in using contraception pending consultation with a health care practitioner. If one has had intercourse and is concerned about it, a home pregnancy test will be useful. If it is positive, a health care practitioner should be consulted within a day or two. It might be a fluke, but then again, it could be an ectopic pregnancy, which is dangerous.

Can you have a healthy pregnancy if you have had a tubal ligation?

Allow me to answer from experience....YES IT CAN. The chance is very small, from what I've read in the 1-2% range, but I myself am a child of pregnancy after tubal ligation. My mother had her tubes tied TWICE. After my brother was born she had a tubal ligation. Six years later she found herself pregnant with me. Upon having her tubes cut and burned further, the doctor said he had no idea how that could happen as everything looked still separated. Of course, you have to take the chances into the proper context; HIGHLY UNLIKELY, but entirely possible.


In the state of Tennessee can you get your tubes tied at the age of eighteen and you have not had a child?

Yes you can but this must be carefully thought out before proceeding as it's irreversible. I would seek the guidance of my gynecologist and even a counsellor before making such a decision if I was of child-bearing age.


How effective is Depo-Provera and tubal ligation?

The depo shot is very effective when taken alone. If you are also taking spermicide, although nothing but abstinence is 100%, I think you are pretty close, provided that the spermicide is also taken as instructed. i.e., 15 minutes before intercourse but not longer than one hour, unless it's VCF (vaginal contraceptive film) which must be taken at least 25 minutes prior to intercourse and can last as long as 3 hours. Good for you for being so conscientious.


Why might you be late for your period if you had your tubes tied?

I had a tubal ligation in 1999. And my periods stay regular. So if you haven't got your period. I would call my Doctor and have myself checked. Because with my experience that isn't normal. Your periods are controlled by your ovaries secreting hormones directly into your bloodstream, nothing to do with your tubes. So your periods should remain absolutely normal.


What can you do to help you become pregnant after your tubes have been tied?

i am not sure the name of the procedure, but my mothers tubes were tied after giving birth to me (they were litarly tied not cut as they do now in medicine) and she paid about $3500 and had the procedure reversed to have another child 4 years ago, now i have a beautiful little sister, so if you have the money and wish for a child that's the way to go. i do believe that it depends on how your tubes were actually tied, i am 21 so the procedure to tieing tubes has probably changed since then but its worth the try, best of luck to you

Can you use invitro fertilization after a tubaligation?

Yes, you can have IVF to get pregnant after tubal ligation. However, anyone contemplating tubal ligation must consider the process to be permanent. If you are not ready to commit to a life without additional pregnancies, consider long-acting reversible forms of contraception, such as intrauterine devices (IUDs) or the contraceptive implant (such as Nexplanon). These are more effective than tubal ligation, and are completely reversible.

What are the laws on tubal ligation in Georgia?

I'm not sure about "law" but most doctors won't do it until you're over a certain age and/or have had so many kids. My best friend was 23 w/ 2 kids and they wouldn't do it. You also must have consent from your husband if you are married.
