Yes-the chances are slim, me being Murphy’s daughter I went for a partial hysterectomy (kept the ovaries) BEST decision EVER!! I had irregular periods and heavy bleeding - I’m done having kids so I didn’t want to deal with periods anymore. It also almost eliminates your chances of cervical and uterine cancers. Not to mention no Pap smears. Whoohoo!
Just in time for them to start smooching my boobs every year.

Mine were just clamped almost 19 years ago and still no more babies. Depending on the method, there could be a chance.

I’ve had my tubes tied for 10 years and no pregnancies. My dr put two clamps on each tube as extra protection.

My sister was pregnant 10 times before having a successful pregnancy. They tied her tubes but she got pregnant again and miscarried. They again tied and burned her tubes but she got pregnant again and was able to deliver a second child. The doctor then gave her a hysterectomy.
My step daughter also got pregnant after getting her tubes tied after 4 years. The same thing happened to my best friend after 14 years.
Mine worked though.

I got a tubal ligation back in 2013. My OB used clamps on the end. She did tell me there is a very slight chance that I could get pregnant again but it would be Tubal pregnancy. But I’m happy to say so far so good.

So I was told mine would be laparoscopically done and would be cut n burned and well they had to do a C-Section cut because of the thick scar tissue from when I had gallbladder surgery in 2012 I had my tubes done in 2014 and I ended up with filshy however I spell it clips ! Where the c scar is I have nerve damage . Never got pregnant after but I guess when they put the clips in it was for a option to take out and get pregnant again easier
Actually just got told my tubial was considered unsuccessful and that if I wish to prevent pregnancy consider my partner getting snipped or birth control so it is possible but not very often. My doctor said I’m her first failed in the 17 years she’s done them especially with the clips being put in during a csection.
What about if the tubes were cut ?
They showed the tubes to me as I wanted to see them but I am worried I’ll be pregnant again. I have five kids! I asked for imaging to be done to confirm there is no way but the doctor declined and said having them removed is good

Got pregnant really quickly after tubial.ihad a miscarriage and didn’t know i was pregnant. Then had another surgery. Dr said 1in 2000 get pregnant with tubial.the last surgery he said 1in a million. 34 years ago. No more babies
I believe it depends on how you get it done, if they just tie them then it can be reversed. But I had mine cut, burned and then tied. So there is no chance of me ever having that reversed.

I think it depend on how you get them done. My doctor says that they are actually taking mine out. If you get them burned or tied I think there is a risk of them growing back together.
I got mine tied 
but I hope I get pregnant and be able to carry it to full term I regret getting them tied

I had mine cut, & fused in 1992. No pregnancies since then. I was told that if I were to become pregnant, it would probably be a tubal pregnancy.
Sometimes! It happened to my sister, after 15 yrs.she had a girl.
Very low chance, but always possible. That’s why I had my doctor… cut, tie, and burn the ends to make sure
Yes… And after the 10 yr mark it is said to be less effective.

Of course. I also know of a friend’s mother and aunties that had their tubes tied and ended up with ovarian cancer.
Yes u can but most likely wouldn’t b viable !! I had read some stories and asked my MFM dr as I was getting one done when my baby was born ( he came in sept ) as my MFM dr said “when u cut any living tissue it tries its hardest to reconnect and heal, it’s rare but it can happen” !! it doesn’t happen to me

I had my cut and burn when my son was 8 and never got pregnant again
I’m certainly not an expert on the subject - I’ve had my tubes tied for 5 years and no pregnancies. But I had a coworker who got pregnant and her tubes were tied.
it depends. I had a tubial ligation where they completely removed the tubes so there is absolutely zero chance of pregnancy. But if your tubes are just tied then yes there is a chance of getting pregnant and an even higher chance of a ectopic pregnancy.
One of my biggest fears! Love my 5 year old twins and 4 year old but no more please!
This is why I had my tubes taken out and an ablation to my uterus. My body my choice. But yea you can If that’s all you had done

I had my tubes completely removed and was told there is less than .5 % chance of getting pregnant again
I’ve been told after10 years there is that possibility. I’ve heard there is a possibility after a vasectomy 10+ years a man can actually impregnate a woman I don’t know if that is true but what I’ve been told.
If the doctor does it right you won’t get pregnant

I was told I had a 1 in 150 chance of getting pregnant after having it done
The chances would be really slim anymore. They dont just tie the tubes anymore, they like burn them shut or something.
Yes. That’s how I had my last baby. I had a tubal litigation and still got pregnant
Yes I got pregnant after and had to have a hysterectomy because another pregnancy would kill me.

Mine were fully removed so no chance of having g a baby but if cut tied or burned every year it goes up 1% of having a baby
Yes. Your best bet is to do a Salpingectomy if you want the 0% chance of getting pregnant again.
Had my tubes removed! Going on 4 years now
I had my tubeal ligation in 2014. They told me There no chance of pregnancy as they took my tubes out
Is any birth control 100% effective? NO.
It only lasts 7 years
