I Think Im Pregnant, but I Had a Tubal Ligation...

M.,
I got pregnant 10 months after having my tubes tied. When I was suppose to start my period I was having cramps. It just felt like I was about to start anytime. I even had spotting six days before I found out that I was pregnant. My second and third child are 19 months apart. At first my husband and I were shocked, but then we accepted the fact that the child was meant to be. Well after the last was born I had a partial hysterectomy. I had some other issues going on too. Good luck with everything.

i had a tied my tubal nine years ago and and my body feels like im pregnant im i crezy

Yep - my ex-finaces aunt got pregnant after one. Even the doc just warned my sister in law that the body is created to do amazing and miracilous things so that she might want to use extra protection anyways so she wont get pregnant. I think you should go to the doc and find out either way cause if you arent pregnant there might be something else wrong that you need taken care of asap. Good luck and let us know how it all works out! :)

Yes it can happen. My doctor and I discussed this very issue and she said she has seen a few cases. She told me it can take up to 3 years before it really is healed completely with all the scaring. I always ask my doctor if she can do a sonogram to make sure they are still tied cause my husband and I think our 3 kids(plus 3 c sections) are enough right now.
Please go see your doctor ASAP.

It happened to me. I had the procedure done about 6 years prior to becoming pregnant. Needless to say, the pregnancy came as quite a shock to me. Thankfully, I did not have an ectopic pregnancy or any complications with the pregnancy. I now have a delightful 15 month old girl. If I were you, I would go to your OB/GYN as soon as possible to determine if, in fact, you are pregnant and, if so, that it is not an ectopic pregnancy.

It is very possible to be pregnant after a tubal. I think the first year has the highest risk. I've heard of quite a few people that have gotten pregnant afterwards. I would take a test if I were you.

I do know a few people who have gotten pregnant after having that procedure, so it couldn't hurt to take a test!

It can happen but it is very rare. My cousin had it happen to her, and ended up having to abort the baby because of complications. If I were you, I'd see a doctor ASAP.

Hi M.! I know there is a possibility of becoming pregnant when you've had a tubal ligation. I actually got pregnant 5 years after I had my tubes cut, tied and burned at the ends!! It was a shock to me. I had the symptoms of being pregnant but never even thought it could be because i was pregnant! I started having pain in my ovaries on a Thursday and scheduled an appointment to see my gyn on the Tuesday after Christmas and by that Tuesday I was in so much pain I couldn't sleep,eat and barely walk. I went to the emergency room that morning and fainted in the waiting room. They of course brought me right back and did a sonogram and found out that I had what is called a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, where you become pregnant but the fetus starts to grow inside the fallopian tube. Well my tube ruptured and I was bleeding internally. I had lost 2.5 pints of blood and the doctor said if I had not come when I did I would have died within 24 hours! They removed my fallopian tube and of course I'm fine now but it was extremely painful and I would hate for it to happen to anyone. So again i'm not sure if you have the same type of tubal but I would recommend going to the doctor as soon as possible to make sure everything is OK! I know this is quite a long story but if you or someone else reads this I hope it will help someone realize this can happen and to go to the doctor as soon as you start to feel pain! Good luck to you!!

My aunt had it happen to her after 14 years! My cousin got pregnant just 3-4 years after her tubal litigation. They used the same doctor, though... go figure. I've heard of it happening too often for me to be comfortable going that route.
