Pregnancy after Tubaligation

by babybrat, Sep 28, 2005 12:00AM
I had a tubaligation 10 years ago.  I was reading through some of the posted messages..It is mentioned that their tubes were cut and burned.  My procedure was done only with rubber bands closing off the falopian tube.  what are the more possibilities of me getting pregnant?  And will it be the same outcome of a tubal pregnancy?

Of course there is always reversal.
Heck I know two ladies in their mid 40's who had there tubes tied and still got pregnant.
Myself got pregnant while dh had a vasectomy (which is suppose to be better than having the tubes tied)
ANYTHING is possible!!
I now have my tubes tied to..so hoping that helps us out!

I have a friend who had a Tubaligation after she had two children as a single parent.  She later married a man without children and they decided to have a baby.  She had to have surgery to reverse the procedure.  They tried for a few months and became pregnant with a baby boy.  Approximately, two months after his birth, she became pregnant again.  He too is a boy.  Good luck to you!!!!!!

my SIL is feeling the same way. She is 37 and had my nephew July 13 and she had a horrible prgnancy. She also has problems with her heart ( a heart attack at 30) and takes stuff for colesterol and such, you know all the meds that are bad for preg. so she had to stop taking them. So when she had Ian they decided to have the Tubal done because of her health and now she wants another baby. I am going to tell you what I told her....no matter what you have had done if God wants you to have another baby he will give one to you.

I had a tubal pregnancy after having a tubal ligation.  The doctor showed me pictures during surgery of the pregnancy stuck in the tube, right above a metal band on my tube.  There was an opening big enough for a sperm to get through...but not big enough for the fertilized egg to pass.  I can't say for sure what your chances are, but if you only have the band, I would say they're definately higher than of those who had their tubes cut and burned.  If you are very concerned, talk to your doctor about this.  If you want children, get the bands removed.  If not then perhaps you should get an upgraded ligation.

I have two boys 12 and 7, I had a tubal ligation 6 weeks after second son was born.  I am divorced and my now boyfriend has a daughter from previous marriage, he had a vasectomy after she was born.
My periods have always been like clockwork except when I was pregnant, I am 15 days late and have taken 2 home pregnancy tests, and one at the GYN when I was 9 days late, they were all negative. I know anything is possable but the neg tests have got me aprehensive...With my youngest son my test was positive on the day I was to start!

I have a rubberband around my tubes for 1 year now.My sister had her tubes done 1 year before me and she has been pregnant 3 times since then.I hope that one day GOD gives me the chance to be a mother again.I think it depends on who you are and what your body wants to do.What are the odd's of haveing a tubal pregancy and the baby surviving?I hope that all you woman get the change to be a mother again,I know how it is being unable to afford the reversal and just hopeing that you might get pregnant soon.GOD Bless to all...

I have been involved with 2 women who got pregnant. 1 had an abortion, another claims she had a miscarriage and had a nervous breakdown. I suspect she also had an abortion. I'm in love with someone now who had a tubaligation and she believes shes feeling all the pregnancy symptoms. I hope with all of my heart and soul that we can start a family together, however I dont know what the complications or possibilities are. Is it really possible, what are the percentages, will sher be safe, will the baby be safe. I'm praying that it happens. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!

I have had a tubal ligation 10 years ago.  I am to wed my 48 year old beloved on May 3. I am 38 years of age.  I pray to God he will give me a miracle pregnancy of a little boy for a wedding present.  I pray this in the name of Jesus and through the intercession of St. Vincent Ferrer.

I am a 35 years old, and a mother of three. I had a tubaligation 9 years ago. My finacee and I really wants to have a child together but I didn't know it could be possible because my tubes were lasered and I was told I could never have another child. Due to hard times back then I thought my decision was final. If there is a way to reverse them I would do whatever it takes to give my  future husband a baby.

I am 23 and have 2 little boys that I absolutely adore, they are 20 months apart. While I was pregnant with my second son it was really hard, I was newly married and was getting ready to have 2 babies in less than 2 years. I was overwhelmed, so we decided that we needed something other than the birth control we were using b.c it wasn't working. I was VERY undecided while signing the papers tearing up, but I was reassured that 2 was enough. I completely REGRET my decision, I pray every day that I can have the chance to have a little girl. I love my boys, I just always wanted both boys and girls. All I can do is pray and if God sees fit than he will make it happen if not then maybe I'll have granddaughters. It is good to hear that it is possible after the cut and burn surgery though.

I had my tubes tied and burned in 97 and in 2000 I went to the OB to see why I was feeling like this and he thought I was depressed and sent me to an IVF doctor. The only proble is in 2001, I lost twins and almost my life. When I told the OB that I was pregnant he laughed at me. I had to go to another doctor and get the test done which was positive. I lost one by miscarriage but the other was in my tube which was explained to me the tube must have unwrapped causing a small hole and because the burn was also in the back I would have to have a DNC. Before I could get a DNC I passed out, went to the hospital that would not listen to me. I bleed internally for 16 hours before an OB would come in because no one believed I was pregnant because my history in my files. If you are planning to get your tubes tied I do not recommend you having them burned this way if they unwrap you have a chance of the sperm making it all the way in. Good luck to all.

I had my first babygirl on June 8, 2008. We knew she would have some defects. What we werent prepared for was the doctors rush to tye my tubes. while I was laying on the table, after my c-section, We noticed that our daughter was far worse off than they had said and we asked them several times was she going to be ok? and they simply replied- she will be fine, now lets get these tubes tied. After getting several " she will be fines" we agreed to have them tied, we do have 4 boys, so this made our family complete... or so we thought... I signed the agreement after the proceudre while i was still numb from the spinal... I had my babygirl for 9 days .. then we had to let her go..June 17, 2008. I feel robbed, cheated, and misled. I would never have had them tied if they didn't reassure me that our baby would be fine. I miss her so dearly and I know that a new baby can never replace her .... but now I can't even make the decision to have another because my "tubes" were stolen from me.... anyone know if a reversal will work and where to look?

I had my first daughter when i was 20 yrs old but during her pregnancy I had a scare and I was put in bed rest. I got pregnant after I had her when I was 19 1/2 weeks I had a misscarriage. So after that I was devastated I waited a while but was on birth control and got pregnant I was able to carry on with the pregnancy but was put on bed rest. I had my daughter then after a few months I got pregnant and had a misscarriage at 3 months the doctors said it was a tubal pregnancy so I waited and got pregnant was also put on bed rest and had my son. I figured I had gone through alot so I wanted to get my tubes tied I didnt want to put my family through another misscarriage. after 3 years of the operation I am late on my period. I Dont know what is going on. Could I be pregnant? Let me know what you think.

I am 39 years old I had my tudes cut and burned? 8 years ago when my son was born. I thought I had no choice. I was in a relationship bound for hell and I didn't want to bring another child into the mess. Needless to say that is over and now I'm with a man who wants me to have his child and God knows I want to with all my heart! I had been alone for so many years never even trying making sure I was protected "anyway" condom use always. But now here I am feeling the longing to carry a child again. It's been here for a very long time and I hate the day I signed the papers. This is the first month we have gone with out other protection my auntie Flo is usually on time I have about a week left to see what happens. If all of you whose heart is like mine will pray for us I will be praying for you all as well. What is the success rate of reversal for cliped and burned reversal?

I'm 32 married to a wonderful man with four greats kids (16g,11b,9b,and8g). I had my tube tied cut and burned (i believe but unsure) after my youngest. We only did it with a lot of pressure from family, I never really wanted it. Know I have all the symtoms of being pregant could it really be possible. I would love it and be a mom again. Or could it be that my sister is pregant and I want to be sooooooo bad. I pray every night that I am but I don't know what to do. If anyone has any thing that might help.

I am 20yrs old and i have two beutiful blessings one is 2yrs and the other is two months old. I got my tubes CUT and Burned and know i keep regreting what i did. I signed the papers right after giving birth to my son Damian i had a really tuff pegnancy and at the time it was a good idea o so it seemed. Now that i look at my two children i pray to GOD to send me another blessing i feel so stupid for doing what i did. I have read some of this storys and they touch my heart i will pray for everyone who finds themselves in this situation. Remember that god if powerfull and prayer is too. Jesuse gave sight to the blind and he raised from the dead. So i belive god can bless us with more children dont lose HOPE.

Hi my name is Sabrina and I too had a tubaligation 14 years ago. The doctor placed a small clamp across the tube and told me that I would never have any more kids. Well I guess that God had other plans because I am sitting here 10 weeks pregnant with my fifth child.

I am 24 years old. I had my first daughter in 2005. I had my second daughter June 26, 2007. I had my tubes clamped after my second child. My 4 month old passed away from SIDS. Now I want to give my 3 year old a brother or sister and can't. I wonder what have I done. I feel so bad for my 3 year old who always asked about her sister. I know another baby would never replace her but, my daughter needs a bro. or sister. I am now a week late on my period. I have tender breasts and feeling sick. I pray to God I am pregnant. I always get my hopes up every month and then their shut done. Any thoughts abouty this?

I had a tubal pregnancy in 2000, The Dr's rushed me in for emergency surgery on Valentines Day. When all was said and done, the Dr said that they had to remove both of my tubes because they were not sure which tube I was pregnant in. I have two children 18 and 19. I am 39 years old and have finally met the man of my dreams. He wants a baby of his own because he has no children. How can I give him this baby, what are my options. I want for us to have our own miracle baby.

IVF is the only option you have.  You might try with your own eggs or with donor eggs.  It's very expensive, but at a good clinic you will have a good chance of success.
