you are at risk the question is how much risk? I wouldn't worry about it unless you get pregnant and you have severe pain when you get pregnant, just make sure your MD knows about your history of ectopic. and if you are pregnant and have any weird pains, go to the ER ASAP bottom line: ask your doctor!

One year after getting my tubes done i had a ectopic pregnancy can you get pregnant tweleve years later and have a baby?
If your fallopian tubes were cut and tied, there is no way you can get pregnant. If you experienced an ectopic pregnancy and did not have your tubes tied again, there is the possibility that you could again get pregnant.
Can you pregnant after you have your tubes tied?
The U.S. Collaborative Review of Sterilization (CREST) found the failure rate for tubal ligation (all occlusion methods) to be 1.85% after 10 years. Of the sterilization failures in CREST, one third were ectopic pregnancies (not within the uterus). Because of the high rate of ectopic pregnancy, women of child bearing age who have had tubal sterilization should have a pregnancy test performed if they have not had a menstrual period. If the woman is pregnant, then she should be evaluated further for the presence of an ectopic pregnancy
Can a woman get pregnant after ectopic pregnancy and removal of one tube while incision in the other tube?
Certainly! An ectopic pregnancy is not a condition that affects your reproductive organs such as endometriosis. You have a 1 in 2 chance of conception if you had no problems prior to your ectopic pregnancy. About 60% conceive successfully after an ectopic pregnancy and about 30% choose not to try conceiving again. If you do conceive successfully after having an ectopic pregnancy, it is important to notify your doctor at the first visit of this so that he/she can pay special attention to any warning signs and help you and your baby have a successful future pregnancy.
Its been almost 3 years on the implanon and I'm experiencing pregnancy symptoms?
If a person becomes pregnant while using Implanon, there is a higher risk that they could have an ectopic pregnancy. If you're having pregnancy symptoms, you should call your doctor as soon as possible.
What are signs of ectopic pregnancy after a partial hysterectomy?
I had an ectopic pregnancy a few years ago in which the embryo had implanted on my appendix! Apparently more than 90% of ectopic pregnancies implant in the tubes, but mine was one of the few that implanted somewhere else. I had episodes of severe abdominal pain for weeks. It took a while for my doctors to figure out I was pregnant since I hadn't missed a period and had an IUD in my uterus. I also had bleeding at random points during my cycle so frequently I lost track of my actual "period" date. An ectopic pregnancy will not advance like a normal pregnancy, so the hcg levels will be much lower. This makes it hard to discover with a home pregnancy test for a little while. You can have a beta hcg blood series done, where they check your hcg levels and can tell you how much hcg you have. If your hcg is higher than 5 you are pregnant, however the most sensitive urine tests won't show a pregnancy until hcg levels are at 25 or higher. In a viable pregnancy, hcg doubles every other day. In an ectopic pregnancy, it doesn't.
Is it possible for your tube tied to have a baby?
Yes. It would require invitro fertilization.
Can you feel movement 8 weeks of pregnancy but the doctor say you may have a ectopic?
Due to pregnancy hormones your digestive sytem is really upset. It feels like little bubbles going off in your stomach. I was about 12 weeks when I felt the real movements of the baby. I was also told I may have an ectopic he turned out ok and is now two years old. I hope you get the same result :-)
If your tubes been tied for8 years can you get pregnant?
Yes, but it would be extremely rare, unless your tubal ligation has come undone. The chance of the pregnancy being normal are lower, and the chance that it is an ectopic or tubal pregnancy is much higher than normal.
Are you pregnant if you had a tubal ligation 5 years ago and are now 14 days late for your period and have taken 2 pregnancy tests and both were negative and you also just got over the flu 1 day ago?
It is unlikely that you are pregnant, but it IS possible. If you are pregnant, the odds are that it is an ectopic (tubal) pregnancy. Sometimes they show positive on home pregnancy tests and sometimes they do not. An ectopic pregnancy cannot be carried to term and cannot result in a viable baby. Without medical intervention, it will burst the tube relatively early in the pregnancy, which can cause you to be in grave danger due to blood loss, etc. You need to contact your doctor without delay and be evaluated to ascertain whether or not you have an ectopic pregnancy. Please don't wait - this could mean your life.
Ectopic pregnancy?
DefinitionAn ectopic pregnancy is an abnormal pregnancy that occurs outside the womb (uterus). The baby (fetus) cannot survive, and often does not develop at all in this type of pregnancy.Alternative NamesTubal pregnancy; Cervical pregnancy; Abdominal pregnancyCauses, incidence, and risk factorsAn ectopic pregnancy occurs when a pregnancy starts outside the womb (uterus). The most common site for an ectopic pregnancy is within one of the tubes through which the egg passes from the ovary to the uterus (fallopian tube). However, in rare cases, ectopic pregnancies can occur in the ovary, stomach area, or cervix.An ectopic pregnancy is often caused by a condition that blocks or slows the movement of a fertilized egg through the fallopian tube to the uterus. This may be caused by a physical blockage in the tube by hormonal factors and by other factors, such as smoking.Most cases of scarring are caused by:Past ectopic pregnancyPast infection in the fallopian tubesSurgery of the fallopian tubesUp to 50% of women who have ectopic pregnancies have had swelling (inflammation) of the fallopian tubes (salpingitis) or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).Some ectopic pregnancies can be due to:Birth defects of the fallopian tubesComplications of a ruptured appendixEndometriosisScarring caused by previous pelvic surgeryThe following may also increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy:Age over 35Having had many sexual partnersIn vitro fertilizationIn a few cases, the cause is unknown.Sometimes, a woman will become pregnant after having her tubes tied (tubal sterilization). Ectopic pregnancies are more likely to occur 2 or more years after the procedure, rather than right after it. In the first year after sterilization, only about 6% of pregnancies will be ectopic, but most pregnancies that occur 2 - 3 years after tubal sterilization will be ectopic.Ectopic pregnancy is also more likely in women who have:Had surgery to reverse tubal sterilization in order to become pregnantHad an intrauterine device (IUD) and became pregnant (very unlikely when IUDs are in place)Ectopic pregnancies occur in 1 in every 40 to 1 in every 100 pregnancies.SymptomsAbnormal vaginal bleedingAmenorrheaBreast tendernessLow back painMild cramping on one side of the pelvisNauseaPain in the lower abdomen or pelvic areaIf the area of the abnormal pregnancy ruptures and bleeds, symptoms may get worse. They may include:Feeling faint or actually faintingIntense pressure in the rectumPain that is felt in the shoulder areaSevere, sharp, and sudden pain in the lower abdomenInternal bleeding due to a rupture may lead to low blood pressure and fainting in around 1 out of 10 women.Signs and testsThe health care provider will do a pelvic exam, which may show tenderness in the pelvic area.Tests that may be done include:CuldocentesisHematocritPregnancy testQuantitative HCG blood testSerum progesterone levelTransvaginal ultrasound or pregnancy ultrasoundWhite blood countA rise in quantitative HCG levels may help tell a normal (intrauterine) pregnancy from an ectopic pregnancy. Women with high levels should have a vaginal ultrasound to identify a normal pregnancy.Other tests may be used to confirm the diagnosis, such as:D and CLaparoscopyLaparotomyTreatmentEctopic pregnancies cannot continue to birth (term). The developing cells must be removed to save the mother's life.You will need emergency medical help if the area of the ectopic pregnancy breaks open (ruptures). Rupture can lead to shock, an emergency condition. Treatment for shock may include:Blood transfusionFluids given through a veinKeeping warmOxygenRaising the legsIf there is a rupture, surgery (laparotomy) is done to stop blood loss. This surgery is also done to:Confirm an ectopic pregnancyRemove the abnormal pregnancyRepair any tissue damageIn some cases, the doctor may have to remove the fallopian tube.A minilaparotomy and laparoscopy are the most common surgical treatments for an ectopic pregnancy that has not ruptured. If the doctor does not think a rupture will occur, you may be given a medicine called methotrexate and monitored. You may have blood tests and liver function tests.Expectations (prognosis)One-third of women who have had one ectopic pregnancy are later able to have a baby. A repeated ectopic pregnancy may occur in one-third of women. Some women do not become pregnant again.The likelihood of a successful pregnancy depends on:The woman's ageWhether she has already had childrenWhy the first ectopic pregnancy occurredThe rate of death due to an ectopic pregnancy in the United States has dropped in the last 30 years to less than 0.1%.ComplicationsThe most common complication is rupture with internal bleeding that leads to shock. Death from rupture is rare.Calling your health care providerIf you have symptoms of ectopic pregnancy (especially lower abdominal pain or abnormal vaginal bleeding), call your health care provider. You can have an ectopic pregnancy if you are able to get pregnant (fertile) and are sexually active, even if you use birth control.PreventionMost forms of ectopic pregnancy that occur outside the fallopian tubes are probably not preventable. However, a tubal pregnancy (the most common type of ectopic pregnancy) may be prevented in some cases by avoiding conditions that might scar the fallopian tubes.The following may reduce your risk:Avoiding risk factors for pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) such as having many sexual partners, having sex without a condom, and getting sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)Early diagnosis and treatment of STDsEarly diagnosis and treatment of salpingitis and PIDStopping smokingReferencesHoury DE, Salhi BA.

Can you get pregnant after having tubes cut and burned after 10years?
The chance of pregnancy following tubal ligation (burning, cutting, clipping, tying) is very small - but since our body's are designed to heal - it occasionally happens. The chance of this happening actually goes up slightly over the years. But it is still very rare. If you think you may be pregnant take a HPT, as the chance of ectopic pregnancy is slightly higher in a pregnancy following tubal ligation.
I had tubal ligation 3 years ago period is 10 days late have had pms symptoms tender breasts some cramps and pain on lower right side Home pregnancy test was negative can it be ectopic what do I do?
You need to go to your Doctor right away and let them do a pregnancy test through blood work. The pregnancy blood test can pick up your hormone level at a much earlier stage than a home urine test can. If you are in fact pregnant and it is ectopic, the earlier that is determined, the better for your health's sake.
