Pregnant After Tubal?

[njmom47]

Me! DS is 15 and we call him our miracle baby!
DDs are from previous marriage, I did not want any other children with him. Had my tubes tied. Met current dh a year later and said "hm, what if we fall in love and want to have a child together?" and 3 months after we started dating, I was pregnant.

This is why they rarely do tubals with clips anymore. Clips slip off. If they do the loop procedure, the sutures they used could dissolve and reopen the tubes. My favorite cousin is one of those.

My OB assured me that tubals with cauterization were way more effective. Then I begged her to cauterize them in more than one place :lol:

I know of two women that had successful pregnancies after a tubal. One was just a couple years after the tubal, the other was nine years after.

This thread makes me real nervous.

I had one 10 years ago and it has been successful so far. I pray it stays that way.

I hear you! I had mine 5 years ago & I hope it's still going strong

I know I'll get honest feedback here because you know when you google stuff.....you never know what to expect!

Do you know anyone who has gotten pregnant after a tubal ligation? (WITH their tubes tied?)

I'm just curious......

I work with people who had an amazing experience. Both were second marriages, she had tubal, he was fixed....they had a baby!

We know someone who got pregnant after a tubal, another person who got pregnant after her husband had a vasectomy, and even someone who got pregnant after she had a tubal and her husband had a vasectomy! In the last instance, a woman who had been married for a short while decided with her husband that she should have a tubal. He had the vasectomy before he knew her.

Not one, not two, but THREE people.

Yes, more than one.

One had a tubal and her husband had a vasectomy. Looks like God had other plans.

When I worked in Post Partum I saw it a few times. One lady came in 3 years in a row. The first time, she delivered her 3rd baby and had her tubes tied during a Csection. A year after that she was back with an ectopic--lost her ovary. A year after THAT she was back with another ectopic--lost her only remaining ovary. Some women would have been devastated, but she was ecstatic!

I had mine when I was 23. I'm 34 now. I regret it as the worst decision of my life. I should've done an IUD but I was young and not really knowledgeable about those things. I'd love to have another baby but I don't have the money just yet for a reversal or IVF.
After this Disney trip, as I've proven to myself that I can save up a good amount of money, I will start saving for a reversal. I had the bilateral pomeroy technique done with no cauterization.
I was just curious the number of women who do end up PG naturally in spite of a tubal. Until I have the $6200 saved, I will just continue to pray!

I had a tubal over 13 years ago...my oldest turns 18 this month and I still sweat it when my cycle is late!!!

My OB was awesome, she cut out a big section and cauterized both ends. You guys are freaking me out!

Yes. Her tubes actually grew new ones alongside where they were tied. After the birth of her 6th she had them completely removed.
