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.
