Anyone had their tubes tied and still got pregnant?  |
|
 I am pregnant with my second baby, and i am almost 28. I dont want anymore kids after this one. Two is totally enough for me. I just didn't want to have an only child, and this makes my daughter a big sister:)
I will be having a c section again, and told them i want my tubes tied at the same time. I have heard a FEW stories since making the decision about other women who have HAD their tubes tied and STILL gotten pregnant.
Just how well does having your tubes tied prevent pregnancy?!

1.  ravinskye (6060) | 2 years ago |  My neighbors granddaughter had her tubes tied. She had her son 10 years ago and then had her tubes tied. She was dieting and taking diet pills because she was gaining weight. Finally one of her friends told her she thought she looked pregnant. So she went to the doctor and found out she was.

| Sissygrl (5734) | 2 years ago | Oh dear! I hope this doesnt' happen to me! I Don't really want three kids, two will be good enough for me, when they start to outnumber the parents it gets scary for me! | |

| 2. patgalca (6010) | 2 years ago |  My sister had her tubes tied, like, 25 years ago. She did get pregnant a short time after that. Being that the tubes were tied the sperm got up but the egg could not get down so it was considered a tubal pregnancy and had to be terminated. Keep in mind, that was several years ago and things may have improved since then... or not.

| Sissygrl (5734) | 2 years ago | He must have had some GREAT SWIMMERS!! lol lol. I sure hope they have improved. I dont want to be taking the pill or getting the shot for the rest of my fertile life. | |

| patgalca (6010) | 2 years ago | You know, a vasectomy is a whole lot easier than tubal ligation. It has become more popular than tubal ligation as well. And for God's sakes, haven't women put their bodies through enough! It's time for the man to feel a little pain.;) | |

 UnselfishShellfish (1081) | 2 years ago |  Actually a tubal ligation (blockage) is easier and faster and less painful than a vasectomy or a ligation.
www.essure.com I had it done. Painless and there was no surgery and I was wide awake during the 10 minute procedure.

|
| Sissygrl (5734) | 2 years ago | Well i'm having the c section anyways, so i'll already be open and ready for the snippy snip. Hubby says NO WAY to the scissors. lol i think he thinks he'll be less of a man or something. | |
|
|
| patgalca (6010) | 2 years ago | I think every man I know, friends, neighbours and relatives have all had the snip snip. It's not that big of a deal. | |
|
|
| Sissygrl (5734) | 2 years ago | hehe ok well i will give you his number and you try to convince him and see how that goes:) | |

| 3. cher913 (13320) | 2 years ago |  well i guess it depends on who your dr is. i had a c section with my last daughter and had my tubes tied and that was 10 years ago...and well we havent had any issues...

4.  dreamy1 (1758) | 2 years ago |  I have no experience with this but from the some of the stories it sounds like it does happen. You should probably think of some back up methods to use just in case.
| |
| |
|
|
| Sissygrl (5734) | 2 years ago | But if i have to take birth control ANYWAYS, then what is the point of going through the proceedure you see? I want my tubes tied so that i dont HAVE to use any sort of protection, cause besides condoms, which are not very romantic, most have bad side effects and/or cause some sort of health problems! | |

| 5. Trace86 (3406) | 2 years ago |  I have a friend who had two rough pregnancies and was counselled not to have any more children. Her obstetrician tied, cut and burned her tubes. They wanted to be really sure.
You have to be careful what hospital you deliver in also. My sister wanted to get her tubes tied but the hospital was Catholic and refused to do it. Now she is on the patch.

|
| Sissygrl (5734) | 2 years ago | I know that they will DO it at this hospital, i am just wondering if they will do it RIGHT lol. The birthing unit where i live is actually closed right now, and is supposed to reopen in january, I am due in april. So i'm HOPING it opens so i dont have to travel to another town as i dont drive nor does my hubby. | |

6.  subtlesubmissive (742) | 2 years ago |  I have had my tubes 'tied', well clamped actually! I have previously worked in a doctor office for about 2 1/2 years. In that time we seen 11 women that had the surgery and had become pregnant.
It is very common for this to happen, though it is said that the percentage of failed tubal ligations is 0.1%. I somehow do not believe this.
I have had mine done for over two years now and have not conceived... thankful! I have my princess and had never thought of wanting anymore, I am 27.

|
| Sissygrl (5734) | 2 years ago | How many do you figure the 11 is out of? I am glad that you have not had any issues with your tubal! and i hope that mine is successfull too! My hubby actually only wanted one baby, and i wanted two. But this lil one came as a surprise.. one surprise in a lifetime is enough i think!! | |
|
|
| subtlesubmissive (742) | 1 year ago | The 11 is out of the 139 tubal ligations that the office had performed. | |
|
|
| Sissygrl (5734) | 11 months ago | Well i had it done, and although i'm not totally regretting it, now that i dont have the option.. it does sort of make me sad, but we dont have the funds to have another child anyways. so i guess it worked out. | |

|
| sweetpea75 (1) | 3 months ago |  Getting pregnant after a tubal seem to be becoming mor common. People think a tubal is 100% but its not. These woman here who think its not possible need to do their research.

|
| Sissygrl (5734) | 2 years ago | Well i am getting on and age, and i think that two kids is enough for me, and my hubby has three all together. We couldnt possibly afford anymore kids lol. I will be sure to ask about all the options i have when talking to my dr. | |
|
|
| peedielyn (685) | 2 years ago |  Good luck with that. i agree, i am 29 and don't really want more kids but I used to have the option of getting pregnant. that was the negative. the positive is that I am not getting a surprise every month just a normal period!! hope it goes well for you!!

| 8. mcjeannie (294) | 2 years ago |  Congatulations to you and your partner.I am pretty sure your baby will be a lot of joy to the family especially to your 1st child.
My Mom is a midwife and she's the one who had strongly enforced family planning program in our hometown.As far as I know, she'd have an IUD(Intrauterine device after having four children).So far I heard her saying that women prefer to have their tubes tied rather than the one she had.And there are rare cases that pregnancy occurs after the procedure is done.
Basing from my knowledge on human anatomy, the fallopian tubes, that is where the ovum is released and goes all the way to upper two third of the cervix to meet the sperm in order to be fertilized and viable to create life.Since the tying of tubes can have an accidental loosening, It would be possible that the ovum could still be released to travel and meet sperm.It would be beneficial for women who had undergone this procedure to have a thorough check-up for at least the 1st year to ensure there will be no complications.I am pretty sure your OB doctor will assure you there is only a small percentage of being pregnant again.
Goodluck!

| 9. sweetaspie52 (1440) | 2 years ago | I had a tubelugation about 26 years ago they clipped tied and burnt the ends of my tubes yes to answer your question the tubes can sometimes become untied | |

| 10. Shannon2 (241) | 2 years ago |  They don't just tie them now, they cauterize them. I don't know anybody who's gotten pregnant after having them done. The odds are infinitisimal all that is going to heal itself, and it's so much more effective and safe than any other method. Go for it.

| Sissygrl (5734) | 2 years ago | Thank you for your response. I hope that it does work, wish me luck:) | |
