i take it you had your tubes tied ( tubal ligation ) in the past but now desire to become pregnant. if that's the case i'm afraid i don't have good news for you. clomid ( clomiphene ) is a medication designed to help women ovulate. if you had your tubes tied you may still be ovulating. it's just that the egg has nowhere to go. when you have your tubes tied the fallopian tube (which normally transports the egg from the ovary to the uterus) is cut and sealed in some manner. this prevents any egg released from the ovary from meeting up with a sperm and getting implanted in the wall of the uterus. many women continue to ovulate after tubal ligation so taking clomiphene will not help you. if you wish to become pregnant after having your tubes tied you need to consult a doctor with experience in performing a tubal ligation reversal. depending on many factors including your age and the type of tubal ligation you underwent tubal ligation reversal can be up to 80% successful. this really is a matter you need to discuss with your gynecologist. i wish you all the best!
if my tubes are tied and i take clomid will it increase my chances or have a different affect?
