Hi!!! I am new here and I had my tubes tied almost 2 years ago( unfortunately....but was in a bad marriage) I am now wanting to have another baby. I have heard all these stories of women conceiving AFTER their tubes had been tied. Anyone had this happen or know of someone it happened to?

Hi Nicky,

I have no experience of this but have read it is possible for this to be reversed and for one to get pregnant successfully afterwards. If I remember correctly though there may be a higher risk of tubal pregnancies, especially if reconstructive surgery was difficult. Good luck!!

Edited to add I had a friend who had both tubes removed who then went on to do IVF and was successful.

Hi

Its possible but you would need to have the tube tying reversed - which is not usually available on the NHS -and it also depends on how they were tied - if they were clipped/cut and tied off etc. Essentially you probably need to have a chat with your GP who will be able to tell you what procedure you had done and whether it is likely the reversal will work, and also if it can be done on the NHS (very unusual except in extenuating cir****tances - ie after the death of a child etc).

Good luck with it all and let us know how you get on xxx
