pregnant after having a tubal ligation.

I had my tubes tied in 2005. I just found out yesterday that I am pregnant. The doctor ar the e.r wants me to take a pill to end the pregnancy even though they think I am about 3 weeks and have not found a baby anywhere yet. Has anyone gotten pregnant after having a tubel? Or do you know the chances that this baby may be viable. How long can I wait before I have to react. I do not want to end a pregnancy if I do not know if it is ok. Anyone have any words of advice.

I had my tubes tied 9 years ago and my husband and i want one more.. I can't afford the surgery or ivf plus i just want one more not many more haha.. I wish they would only do tubals for women in emergency cases not a form of both control.. I've seen so many females that have had it done and now want a baby... Is it bc we know in most cases we can't?? But i know for sure i want a another child.. My youngest is 9 yrs and his is 5 months.. I know that don't add up.. Him and i have been together five yrs and he has a 5 month old.. Its not fair..

If you take the pill to end the pregnancy then you have to take four more pills that will then make the baby come out like if it was your period... i was forced to have an abortion and that's the root i had to take but if there's a possibility you can carry the baby no harm done to both of you that's what i would do because if you take the pills to end it you will be in A LOT of pain

I had my tubes tied in Feb, 2011. I was done having children. I have had 4 children so I thought I was done. But in April of this year I lost my 5 year old son to a rare form of brain cancer called DIPG. Now I want another baby! I knw they say that it is next to impossible to get pregnant with your tubes tied. But I know that nothing is impossible For God. I can not afford a reversal or IVF so I just need lots of prayer that god will perform a miracle.

I had my tubal ligation (falope rings) done 3 years ago.  We chose it because I had very risky pregnancies and we were told any future pgs would be life-threatening.  Well in the past 3 years I found out about a health condition that had gone undiagnosed, and now that it is treated my health is 100% better and I have a great chance of a healthy pregnancy.  Last month I found out I was pregnant!!!!  However, my hcg never rose above 84 and I miscarried at 5 weeks.  The baby never got large enough to see on ultrasound, so we will never know if it was a tubal pregnancy or a uterine one.  Now my husband and I are trying to decide whether to try again with my body as-is, or to get a tubal reversal.  We don't want to conceive and miscarry over and over if my tube(s) are not allowing a fertilized egg to pass into the uterus...

I'm 41 had my tubes tied. Had a almost reg. Period. But it's been almost two weeks after my period and I'm feeling tired, having cravings, and flutters. Could being pregnant be possible. Or am I just phantoming it because we (my husband and I ) so want another but reversal is too expensive?

I had a tubal ligation 14 months ago, after my son was born. I had a period every month around the same time up until 4 months ago. I missed my period for 2 months almost and now just a light spotting that last maybe a day. I have noticed more Vaginal discharge over the past couple days. I have taken to home test. the first one was a faint second line (thought maybe the evap line) and the second one was neg. I have been really sick this past week, which is something that normally never happens. Im really confused on this and was wondering if anyone had any advise or any similar things happening.

How many yrs were your tubes clipped, burned, and tied before you got pregnant? I had the same thing done in April 2010 but would love to have another baby.

I'm 37 and had my tubal 10 and 1/2 years ago after the c-section delivery of my second child.
My period is now nearly two weeks late....I've only been late twice before and have two children to prove it.  I'm suffering an almost constant dull ache in my lower back and occasional, mild abdominal cramping, along with a headache that just won't go away.  To top that off, my face is broken out in a way that it only does when I'm pregnant (I'm not one of those girls that "glow" during pregnancy).
I've read posts all over this site from women claiming the same symptoms and asking the same questions, but none of them ever come back to say "yay" or "nay".  I wish someone would tell me how their story ended.  Should I be shopping for a crib...or preparing my 37-year-old self for hot flashes?
