Pregnancy
Taking care of yourself with baby on the way.

Unlikely.

A recent study (the Collaborative Review of Sterilization, or CREST, study) looked at 10,000 women who had undergone tubal ligation and found 143 failures (a failure rate of 1.4 percent). It can be higher when a tubal is done at the time of a C-section. The failure rate also tends to increase the longer it has been since one had a tubal ligation. The U.S. Collaborative Review of Sterilization (CREST) found the failure rate for tubal ligation (all occlusion methods) to be 1.85% after 10 years.

Answer

I HAD RECIEVED MY TUBAL WHEN I WAS 20, AFTER MY SECOND CHILD. THE DOCTOR TOLD ME IT WAS A POSSIBLE THAT I CAN GET PERGNANT AFTER 5 YEARS. MY SECOND CHILD IS 3 YEARS OLD NOW, AND HE WILL BE 4 AT THE END IN NOVEMBER. IF I WAS TO GET PERGNANT AGAIN, I WILL HAVE MY BABY AND HAVE ANOTHER TUBAL DONE, THIS TIME BURNT.

answer

You might ask your Doctor how he performs a tubal. A lot of Doctors simply cut your fallopian tube in half and cauterize the ends, therefore making it possible to grow back together eventually. For PERMANENT sterilization, the ENTIRE end of the tube should be removed and then cauterized. This way the tube cannot re-attach as there is nothing there.

I had my tubes clamped after my 4th son was born , soon to be 2 years and I think I may be pregers. Friday, and Sat, I was having bad cramps(menstral type cramps)on sunday I was nauseous and Monday I was nauseous and felt like I was gonna pass out, Now today I am having sharp pains( not bad real bad pains) on the left side of my stomach. I know it is not an infection because I just had my yearly pap done a couple days ago and Friday I have a sonogram due to an enlarged uterus.
