Pregnancy After Tubal Ligation: Understanding Risks & Possibilities

Question
ok in june 01 i had my tubes tied im not sure how but i had the prosidger done, in october i had a period on the 26 and 27 and not scence then. could i be pregnate. can i even get pregnate now.

Answer
If the tubal ligation was performed correctly, it is impossible for you to become pregnant. If an error was made and, instead of tying or cutting or cauterizing a tube, the round ligament was ligated instead, then you can become pregnant. If you have not had a period since October, take a pregnancy test and you will know for sure. If the test is negative, you are definitely not pregnant. If you are not pregnant, ask your doctor to induce your period for you.
