My Aunt had her tubes tied and got pregnant about 2 yrs later.  It does happen.  She is super fertile tho.  She had 4 kids previously and 2 were twins conceived at different times during the ovulation period.  Crazy huh?!   Let us know.  Hope it turns out the way she wants.

Well some women do experience early menopause, which is why I stated that. Hopefully not, though, of course! Please let us know what happens.

My cousin got pregnant after having her tubes tied, about 10 years later though. Her kids were about 9 and 10. I heard having your tubes tied only lasts 12 years or so. I have also heard some vasectomies only last for about 7 years. I have no idea who I heard this from...

Late period doesn't always mean pregnancy. Depending on her age it could be menopause, it could be a hormonal problem, or stress. She can take a test now.


Pregnancy after a tubal ligation is possible.

I've heard it can happen, not often but still, it can happen.  Geez, now I'm dying to know if she's pregnant.  Has she taken a test?  That should tell her, especially if her period is late.
