Question by luv_doesnt_hurt_lies_do: What are the real odds of getting pregnant with your tubes tied?
What can cause you to become pregnant, when tied (I know the birds and bees?) Is it safe? How long does it take for this to happen? Does it stop working after a few years, like it breaks or something? How long is it really good for? Have you or someone you know gotten pregnant with tied tubes? If so what was the story?
Bent together and tied of with microscopic rubber band.

I did get mine tied, and so far nothing, but it's only been 7 months. My sister in law on the other hand, got pregnant and had a baby 2 years after having hers tied. Unfortunately, the baby didn't make it. The doctors told me that the chance of getting pregnant after a tubal is slim to none.

In the old days, the doctor would bend the tube over (think crimping a fire hose) and then they could use a clip to keep anything from flowing through it. Sometimes the clips would come off and the flow restored.
Now doctors typically cut through the tube with a laser so they are fused shut at the end. Thus, making it impossible for a pregnancy to occur.
Depending on the way the doctor did the surgery will impact the result.
