Is Pregnancy Possible?
Ok, this is going to sound strange, but I'm really beginning to wonder if I could be pregnant. 2 years ago, we found out I have had 2 strokes during previous pregnancies. In March I had a Tubal and Ablation done. My husband and I decided it was time that we make it permenant that we have no more kids for my health sake. Since the Tubal Ligation, things have been going well. The ablation made my cycles a lot less painful, and long..... Anyhow, I had my last cycle June 8th. I haven't had one since. I've been having symptoms of being pregnant, ie:) craving pickles, sick at 3-5 in the morning, feeling nausous in the morning and around supper time. And a few others symptons that have made me wonder. Is that even possible? I guess the tubal is only 99% sure that one can't get pregnant, could I be that 1%? Stranger things have happened..... Any advice?
So What Happened?™
First off, THANK YOU SO MUCH to all who have shared advice. It really was an eye opener that being pregnant could be such a real possibility. The other night I had purchased a test and before I read the instructions, I posted my question. I decided to take the test this morning. Sure enough, even before I took the test, my period started. So, I'm not pregnant. I was under a lot of stress this last month and the last 2 days have been my first 2 relaxing days in over 3 weeks. Thanks again!

It is possible. I know a woman who had a daughter 10 years after her tubal. She had a healthy little girl.

Yes! Definitely possible. I work with a woman that had a baby after she was "fixed". I would suggest getting a prenancy test. That would be a good place to start!

I guess it is pretty common to have a pregnancy after a tubal. My friend became pregnant 2 years after her surgery. she had a healthy son, and I believe the doctors paid all her medical expenses related to the pregnancy! Good luck!
