I had a tubal done and the doctor said the tubes were fine only to find out the reason why there was bleeding going on for a week later. I was pregnant and lost the baby. It depends how far on she was in pregnancy. If she was over about six weeks the uterus would be starting to look pregnant. Most doctors do tubals in the first 2 weeks of the cycle to prevent this happening. As a midwife I once looked after a woman who had her tubal on Day 17 and she conceived in that cycle. I always thought of that embryo zipping through as the surgeon did the op going "missed me".

∙ 13y agoThe ligation can go back and start working again after some years and it's very rare a woman goes through a full pregnancy without knowing she is pregnant but it does happen so there is a small chance.
