Please get an ultrasound right away to make sure it isnāt ectopic. I had three ectopic pregnancies within 18 months after a cut and burn tubal ligation. It was devastating.

I had clamps and they disappeared after 7 years . I was viable and was 3 months pregnant with an ectopic . I was bleeding out and went to the hospital told them I knew I was and needed emergency surgery . They thought I was crazy kept me all night never notifying the er physician. She was so mad . I just had to share my story .Anything is possible .

There is a small percentage of failures with tubal ligation. Those percentages should have been discussed with the patient by her doctor.

Happened to my mom. The baby did not survive. If you havenāt already, please go to the docs immediately
This would kill me. I hope it never happens 
I have a friend who was born after a ligation though.

Yes, but I miscarried.
The fail rate is approx 1:200 or higher if itās done at the time of a caesarean. It also increases your risk of ectopic pregnancies. I had my cs now hubby can get the snip - itās his turn

Happened to the wife of a teacher of mine one of the stitches popped on one side and it was puckered on the other. There was a big enough space for the egg to get out.
Yep had a beautiful little girl.

I kind of am praying this happens to meā¦ had 3 beautiful babies, 1 after the other (aged 2, 3 and 4 now), with my abuserā¦ he manipulated me into getting them tiedā¦ got the procedure done the 8th of October 2019, he left on the 29th of that same monthā¦
Now I have a healthy partner, who has no kids, and would like one of his ownā¦ but I had clamps put on mine, no snipping or nothing.

My girl was a miracle. I got my tubal after my CS, my heart couldnāt handle the pregnancy . I had a heart attack, it completely traumatized me. I am absolutely terrified of this happening and leaving my girl to grow up without me.

Iāve had my tubes done now for 10 yrs. they actually cut mine took 2 inch off both sides , so i aint gotta worry about this ever happening i asked to have them cut my doc actually wanted to do clips i said no snip em , i did research on it before i got them done found out that snipping/cutting the tubes is 99.9% more likely to work then if you had clips or bands , hense why i asked for snipping , i actually ask him to take it all but of course that didnt happen , i have 5 kids already i dont want no more ā¦ go get an ultrasound because if it is eptopic which risk is higher if youāve got a tubal done an get pregnant , you can die if it is a eptopic an it burst , so iād get checked asap

I had my tubes tied in 09/04 following a cesarean delivery. A year later 11/05 I was at work experiencing mild cramping. Well come to find out I was pregnant, ectopicā¦severed my right tube. I thought it was over but in January I still felt very pregnant so I went back to my doctor who gave me a test and I was indeed pregnant. I delivered a healthy girl the early part of August 2006.

My friends mom had twins after got her tubes tied. It was way back in the 60ās though. Hopefully it has changed a lot since then.
When mine was done, Drs told me that there is a 1% failure rate in the first 7 years, after that I was home freeā¦lol
Had this happen to a pt 2 times both kids are great and they are 16 yrs apart from two other siblings so it is a thingā:woman_facepalming:

Yes to me i had four an then I got this done an still got in the family wayā¦
It all depends on how the physician does the surgery. The physician must make sure youāre not already pregnant. The tubes must be cut inches on both sides, burned and tied!!! I could not get pregnant again for medical reasons and my GYN DR knew this and would not have taken a chance with my life. Itās heartbreaking reading your stories and these physicians should be ashamed to take a surgery like this so lightlyā:disappointed_relieved:
Iāve had multiple friends go through this and carry the baby just fine. They were all surprised it even happen but mommy and baby did great

I guess Godās got a special little one, who gets to be loved by you! Best wishes!
My doc to me it could happen but there would be no where for the baby to grow because there would be no sac for them. As someone else stated call your doc to get an ultrasound to see what is happening and be prepared in case you have to abort. Because the baby will not survive. Praying that is not the road but just be prepared.
I got mine completely removed. It also lowers the chance of ovarian cancer if removed.

I had a procedure done called Adiana which was similar to the Essure one. Failed miserably & heās now 8. That pregnancy was the worst due to my mental state.

Tubal ligation is not 100% effective and is and should be consulted this way

Yes, 7 years after a tubal ligation but it was etopic.
I was told it was better to have them cut and tied back rather than just tied or clamped.
I have been āsaveā for 16+ yrs. But that is a possibility.
I have read of it happening alot when the Dr simply ties the tube. Alot of Drs now will cut a space between the tube and tie both ends to prevent the tie feom slipping.
What is a tubal ligation?
11 years post tubal, never! I would probably have a heart attack!
I would never trust having my tubes tied or clamped or anything like that. Itās way to risky. If your for sure done and ready to take this step just have them removed. No accidental anything that way.
I heard you get pregnant very y easy after a tubal ligation
When I had mine, my OB/GYN told me that nothing was 100%.
going on 3 years with mine burnt and the comments makes me want to panic 
Oh gosh this best not happen to me y
Yes my mom had me 7 years after she had hers tied
Itās been 5 years since i had my tubes tied and not got pregnant since thank God because i almost bled to death having her.
Please use all the advice of these women
This can happen a tubal also with a vasectomy
Me personally no, my mom yes.
My daughter is 27 now
Back in the day they use to really ātieā your Fallopian tubes & if they āuntiedā, you could get pregnant. Now-a-days they laser burn off both ends permanently closing off the Fallopian tubes after they cut into them . So itās not possible to get pregnant after a procedure like thatā¦ Is it possible they didnāt do they the procedure?
Not me personally, but to a friend. She had a tubal pregnancy, but thank God was found in time.
