Hello Doctor,
I have undergone tubal ligation. After that, I had 2-3 years of unprotected sex with my husband, but I did not become pregnant. Now that we are divorced and I have married another person, is there a possibility of becoming pregnant if I have unprotected sex now?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
If you wish to have another baby with your new partner, options such as a tubal opening operation or in vitro fertilization (IVF) are available to help achieve pregnancy. Tubal ligation is generally effective in preventing pregnancy in about 99% of cases; however, there have been rare instances of failure depending on the type of procedure performed. It is also possible, though uncommon, to experience an ectopic pregnancy.
It would be helpful to clarify whether your ligation was done during a cesarean section, after a delivery, or through laparoscopy or another minor surgical procedure. Additionally, knowing how many children you have and their fathers may provide more context for your situation.
Thanks
