Can you get pregnant after your tubes have been cut and burned?

I had a tubal in 2003, i now would love another baby. Is it possible to get pregnant again?

Hi!
There are two possibilites:
1) In vitro is your best bet--the statistics show that this works best and quickest.
2)tubal reanastomosis--this is a major surgery which is usually not covered by insurance.  If not too much of the tube was destroyed at the time they were "tied"
they can sometimes be sewed back together again.  This usually has about a 50-50
succsss rate.  The success rate is higher if the surgery is done by an expert.
Good luck!
