tubes tied and pregnancy

[stacypatridge]

What is the percentage of woman who get pregnant after they gave hade their tubes tied? My husband wants more children but I had my tubes tied 14 years ago. Is it possible to still have a baby, and how?

There is a surgery that is done to reverse the tubal ligation. It isn't normally covered by insurance and it's not a guarantee that it will work. You could undergo IVF which doesn't involve the use of your tubes and that isn't always covered by insurance either.
Hope this info helps and good luck with whatever path you choose!

I have been wandering the same thing. My period is over 2 weeks late which never answers and I had my tubes tied over 2 years ago. I had some ovulation strips and a week ago only the control line was showing up and now everyone I take the test line is real faint so I'm not sure what's going on

HI,
Tying of the tubes causes tubal damage and the chances of reversal can be assessed only at the time of surgery. Also the chances of getting pregnant will also depend on your age and ovulation and associated factors. Consult a gynaecologist for an assessment.
Hope this helps.
