if you have not gotten pregnant in 18 years. after surgical sterilization you are probably fine. is it possible? there have been a few cases where cauterized tubes have miraculously re-opened but those are very very rare. i would buy that 99% assurance that you cannot get pregnant. if you are truly worried about that less than 1% then make your partner use a condom.
can you get pregnant after tubal ligation? . i had a tubal ligation 18 years ago where they actually burned my tubes and haven't had any issues until recently. is it possible to get pregnant after 18 years? i was assured there was a 99% success rate and i shouldn't have to worry. well now i'm a little worried.
