Yes, you can get pregnant if your tubes
are tied and burnt...but the chances for
becoming pregnant in natural way are less
than 0.2%. Even in such rare cases, the
pregnancy is usually extrauterine (outside
of the uterus). But if you use an assisted
reproductive technique such as “in
vitro” fertilization, the chances for a
pregnancy are are increased and are the
same as other women.
