Possible pregnancy years after a tubal and a hysterectomy

I'm 40 years old. I had a tubal ligation in 2004 after the birth of my son. In 2011 I had a hysterectomy. I've had unprotected sex three times. Is it possible that I might be pregnant again?

It’s not possible.  Only way to get pregnant after partial hysterectomy is the cervix wasn’t closed completely and a microscopic opening is there, or tubes wasn’t separated and closed in the stump.  It’s so rare for this to happen.  Better chance at winning the lottery.

Did they leave your ovaries or was it a total hysterectomy?  If you have ovaries, there is a chance of an ectopic pregnancy if by some chance a sperm met an egg.  Easy enough to check, take a pregnancy test.

So did you take a pregnancy test?  If you have an ectopic pregnancy, it's a serious matter.

If you had a hysterectomy that means you do not have a uterus anymore. Highly unlikely pregnant.

I know. But, like I said, I had a partial hysterectomy in 2011.
