MICHELLE – This video shows the Hulka clip (or clamp). If the clamp is not all the way across the tube, it is possible to become pregnant. If it is all the way across the tube, then it has to be removed in order to get pregnant.

i just want to know if you can get pregnant if you have your tubes clamped and ligated.

No medicines will help. The real question is did the endometrial ablation destroy all of your uterine lining.

If it did then pregnancy will be very unlikely. If it did not then your lining will regenerate and you will start having periods again. There will always be some risk in having a pregnancy after an uterine ablation procedure.

Thank you so much for answering my last question. Since there may be hope for a normal pregnancy after a tubal ligation and endometrial ablation if my period returns after a few years, I now would like to know is there any hormones I can take to restart my period sooner?

We do perform tubal ligation reversal on patients who have had their tubes tied and who have had an endometrial ablation. Unfortunately, if you are not having periods then the ablation likely destroyed all of your uterine lining. If you do not have any uterine lining then pregnancy is either not possible or very unlikely to succeed. If your periods return over the next several years then it may be possible to have a tubal reversal and a normal pregnancy.

I had a tubal ring tubal ligation as well as a endometrial ablation done in April 2008. I have not had a period since the procedure. Is there a chance for me to reverse this and be able to carry another child especially since I haven't had a period?

When reversing the tubal ring the tubes do have to be cut and reconnected. It would be rare to have significant scar tissue develop after a tubal ring tubal ligation.

Tubal ring reversal yields one of the highest pregnancy success rates. You can see our pregnancy success rates based on age and type of tubal ligation by looking at our Tubal Reversal 2007 Pregnancy Study Report.

When removing the tubal ring, do the tubes have to be cut and reconnected? If the scar tissue build up is significant is it possible to not have enough usable tube causing reconnection to be impossible?

I had a tubal ligation via tubal ring a little over 6yrs ago. I’m now 26 and am wanting a third child.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to respond.

TIONA - Take a look at our pregnancy statistics after tubal reversal. This will give you an idea about your chances of becoming pregnant after removal of tubal rings. You will have to check with your own insurance company since they vary about coverage for tubal reversal depending upon your specific insurance policy. If you would like further assistance, you can call a tubal reversal nurse at (919) 968-4656.

I was just wondering was the chance of my getting pregnant after the ring removal? Will my insurance cover it, or how much will I have to pay? I had the ring tubal ligation about 3or 4 years ago after having an abortion then a miscarriage about 6 months later. Now I finally settled down and I’ve been wanting another baby for a long time. Will it ever happen????
