Pregnant After a Tubal Ligation? Posted: 09-10-05 00:17am
Almost 5 years ago I had my tubes tied at
the age of 26. I haven't really
considered the chances of getting pregnant
again until recently. The first day of my
last period was july 24the. I am now 3
weeks late. I was having some cramping on
the lower left side of my abdomen but it
has gone away. I have this thick ...
Clear mucus when I go to the bathroom it
has been going on for over a week. My
lower back is very sore and my breasts are
tender. I have had two other successful
pregnancies but the most recent was 8
years ago. I have forgotten what it was
like to feel pregnant. My symptoms are as
follows:
I feel foolish taking a test knowing that
most likely it will just be a waste of
money for me because I highly doubt I am
pregnant but I cannot seem to get the
thought out of my head. I have even
started having dreams in the last two
weeks about being pregnant.
Help??? I am 31 in great health .. I
just had a bunch of blood work done a
couple of months ago for thyroid,
diabetes, cholesterol, and even cancer. I
am in perfect health. Does anyone know
what the chances are of getting pregnant
after a tubal?
Thanks

They are very slim but it can happen....
You would be surprised as to what your
body can adapt to.... Call your gyn and
ask them....

My ex sis-in-law got pregnant after her
tubal. I am not sure how long after,
though. Her daughter is 5. I don't know
if she got the tubal right after she was
born, or not. Anyway, about a year ago
she was pregnant. They were shocked and
disappointed at first, because they didn't
want anymore kids. But, just when they
had finally accepted the fact and were
starting to even get excited about it she
found out that it was a tubal pregnancy
and it had to be terminated. So yes, it
can happen.

Very common to come untied or find a new
route by 10 years. Under that amount of
time, I dont know. Anything is possible,
I am preg with no uterus, only ovaries.
If you do think youre preg you should get
in right away chances for tubal preg very
high, after tubal ligation. Get into dr
asap.
