Pregnancy After Tubal Ligation: Understanding the Rare Possibility

Question
my tubes have been tied for 11 years and i had 3 test and i am pregnant and can feel the baby moving but i did not know i was pregnant.

Answer
Hi there :)

Wow, well congradulations on your pregnancy ..

Yes, you can get pregnant while your tubes are tied, allthough its rare.

Statistics are that 2 in 500 women, that have had a tubal done, will become pregnant.

The Majority of women, whom do become pregnant are women that have had the procedure done around the 15-20 year mark.

So you are the rare statistic in this.

Have you had your pregnancy confirmed? I could be wrong, but I get the impression, that you did 3 home pregnancy tests, that came back positive. If you have not seen a physician, please do ASAP.

And well, if you are feeling movement, you are minimum 4-5 months gestation.

Hope this answers your question ..Good Luck:)
