Is It Possible To Get Pregnant After Tubal Ligation And
Question: Is it possible to get pregnant after tubal ligation and novasure ablation? I've been experiencing bleeding after sex (not every time but primarily about every 4-5 weeks (sometimes a couple of times in a week) and I've been to my doctor to check. I've had a wet pap done twice. Once, he prescribed Doxycycline (30 days) for some cells he found (called it inflammation). That seemed to help some but about a week after I finished it...it started again. It is new blood...not old. Other symptoms...not sure if they are related or now....dizziness, sweating, fatigue & cramping. There is no bleeding any other time.
Brief Answer:
Also hyperthyroidism may be a cause.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
Tubal ligation is a permanent contraception method so if you do novasure ablation there is no possibility of being pregnant.
I think you should do a gynecological examination to check the causes of bleeding doing an ultrasound, colposcopy and pap smear and vaginal smear.
It can be caused by fybroadenoma, thickening of endometrial lining, column infection etc.
If these tests are normal then another possibility is hyperthyroidism because fatigue, sweating, dizziness and cramping together with intermenstrual bleeding may be caused by hyperthyroidism.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
