Where do your eggs go when you have tubes tied?

Answer 1

The egg is still released even after a woman has had a tubal ligation, there is no place for it to go. It disintegrates in the tube, or in some cases in the space surrounding the tube and uterus (peritoneal cavity). If an egg does manage to get fertilized, it will very likely implant in an abnormal place ("ectopic"). Unfortunately, technology does not exist to move the child to the safe haven of his mother's uterus. The child does need to be removed, but this should be done in a morally acceptable manner. (This is topic for a different question, but in essence, the principle of "cause and double effect" is employed to justify removing the damaged tube, even though the child is resident inside it. A direct attack on the child by chemical or direct surgical removal of the child is not morally acceptable.) The internal diameter of the tube varies along its length from about 2 to 8 mm.

Answer 2

A woman's ovaries continue release ovum each month after a tubal ligation, there is just no place for them to go, Periods also continue the same as always. Ovum released by the ovaries will usually disintegrate in the ovarian tube, or sometimes in the space surrounding the tube or uterus (peritoneal cavity).

About 4% of women may still get pregnant during the first 10 years after their tubes are tied. (Cauterization, or burning of the tubes leads to a more reliable outcome). However If you do become pregnant you should contact your doctor imediatelyas there the risk that the egg may be implanted in the Fallopian tubes or the abdomen, rather than in the uterus.

Answer 3

They can still carry the baby in the uterus but having tubes tied should stop the eggs from traveling to the uterus. This procedure usually ends a woman's ability to have babies. There are cases where a woman who has had her tubes tied gets pregnant in what is called an ectopic pregnancy where the egg is fertilized outside of the uterus in either the tubes or in the body cavity. Tying a woman's tubes simply prevents the egg from traveling to the uterus.
