Failure can happen if the cut ends of the tubes grow back together; if the tube was not completely cut or blocked off; if a plastic clip or rubber band is loose or comes off; or if the woman was already pregnant at the time of surgery.

Can a woman have a tubal insemination done after a tubal ligation?

Do you mean intrauterine insemination? With this procedure, semen/sperm is placed inside the uterus by a small flexible catheter that goes into the vagina and through the cervix. Tubal ligation involves blocking the fallopian tubes, making it nearly impossible for an egg to reach the uterus, and also nearly impossible for the sperm to meet the egg. So intrauterine insemination would not be helpful after a tubal ligation. The two options for pregnancy after tubal ligation are IVF or tubal reversal.


Is it possible to get pregnant 15 years after tubal ligation?

Although natural pregnancy could occur it is very slim. If it does happen naturally there is a very good chance that it would be ectopic. The most natural way to have a child after having a tubal ligation is with tubal ligation reversal. Surprising to many is the fact the tubal reversal has a better pregnancy rate than the alternative treatment of IVF. Not only does tubal ligation reversal have a better success rate it is more natural and less expensive than the alternative.


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.


Can you take fertility pills after having a tubal ligation?

You can take anything you want, but why? Most Fertility pills increase ovulation - a tubal ligation prevents the egg from reaching the uterus. More eggs released, but sperm can't meet egg, so no pregnancy. The side effects (weight gain, mood swings) would be a hassle - for no reason at all, since no pregnancy can arise. Now, you could take them after the ligation was reversed, but I think the risks of etopic pregnancy are increased due to scar tissue on the fallopian tubes.


Can you still get pregnant if you have had a tubal ligation and your spouse how a very low sperm count?

Although tubal ligation is considered a permanent sterilization process, there is always a very small chance of pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy can also occur after this procedure. The only way to be 100% would be a hysterectomy or oophorectomy (removal of the uterus or ovaries). This is why women of child bearing years are still required to have pregnancy tests done in hospitals before certain procedures.

You had a tubal 3 years ago you now have a positive pregnancy test What are chances for a normal pregnancy?

The tubal ligation you had in the past, would only interfere with conception not a current pregnancy. Since you already are pregnant, the previous ligation should not cause any problem to your developing baby.Since a baby implants in the uterus and not the tube, the ligation is a non-issue with a developing fetus.

Why would a woman that has had a tubal have breast milk?

Having a tubal ligation has nothing to do with your ability to produce breastmilk. See your doctor to evaluate you for pregnancy and hyperprolactenimia (the hormone responsible for milk production)

How does a woman menstruate after tubal ligation?

A woman menstruates after a tubal ligation just like she would before she had this done. After the tubal ligation the ovaries still work the same as always and the uterus still responds the same way to the hormones to plump up and then shed when pregnancy doesn't occur. All tubal ligation does is cut or seal off the fallopian tubes so that the sperm cannot get to the egg to conceive.

Can a pregnancy happen with a tubal ligation tied and a partial hysterectomy?

This would be almost impossible. Although occasionaly tubal ligation can fail as in a vasectomy for men the risk is less than one percent. If the whole of your uterus has been removed then no you cannot be pregnant as there is nowhere for the fertilised egg to grow.

How vasectomy and tubal ligation affect reproduction human?

Tubal ligation blocks the pathway the egg would take. Vasectomy blocks the path sperm would take. Without the pathway, human reproduction cannot occur for that person.


Can you have a laparoscopic tubal ligation if you are pregnant and dont want the baby?

I suppose you could if you could find a doctor who would do it. If you are asking, "Will a tubal ligation get rid of the baby?", then, no. The baby is forming below the Fallopian tubes.
