It is a common misconception among many women that preventing pregnancy is absolutely possible with tubaligation, but it is not so.
Tubaligation is well considered as permanent birth controlling measure worldwide, but many people are still unaware of an undeniable fact that though it’s very unlikely, pregnancy is still possible after tubaligation.
Yes, the odds of getting pregnant is pretty slim, but those who opt for tubaligation (by blocking fallopian tubes) should understand that it’s not a 100% guaranteed method of preventing pregnancy.
Tubaligation is undeniably one of the most effective options when it comes to birth control. However, it’s not because it’s guaranteed to prevent pregnancy, but because it doesn’t come with the risk of getting pregnant again that is often associated with using a birth control pill. It’s a common fact that many undesired pregnancies could still take place using a birth control pill if you forget to take your pill in time or miss a pill.
According to a study recently held, it has been figured out that around 143 in total 10,000 women get pregnant after tubaligation. This means that there is almost 1.43% of pregnancy risk of tubaligation, which is, however, still better compared to any other birth control measures that might fail to perform due to any human error.
In such rare circumstances, the fallopian tubes usually develop back together, letting the eggs to come down and get fertilized; then transfer into the uterus. If pregnancy does occur, the majority of these cases of pregnancies indeed tend to become ectopic pregnancies due to the damage that takes place on the tube during tubaligation.
After 10 years of tubaligation, the percentage of women getting pregnancy again rises to 1.85% after the procedure. This is merely an average, as there are thousands of women who don’t get pregnant even after 30 years. Thus, pregnancy after tubal ligation is considered to be extremely rare.
Unless you’re 100% sure of not having any more children, it’s better to think carefully before undergoing the procedure.
Nevertheless, there are many women who wish to get pregnant after tubaligation, but as I mentioned earlier, it’s very unlikely to occur. In any case, if you want to get pregnant after tubal ligation, you need undergo a surgical process that will reverse your tubaligation.
Though you can’t be certain that pregnancy will occur after tubaligation reversal surgery, but it surely improve your chances of getting pregnant again.
