Hi XXXX.
Welcome.

You are asking that your tubes had been tied and now you want to become pregnant.

Although the possibility of becoming pregnant after tubal ligation is low, the chance is still there. Rates of pregnancy is around 1/1,000 after the first year, and between 2-10/1,000 after five years.

And if you want to become pregnant, then tubal ligation reversal procedure to be done. It is used to reconnect the fallopian tubes. Success rates of reversal surgeries range from 25 to 80%. It is also important to be aware that tubal ligation reversal increases the chances of an ectopic pregnancy.

Hope this helps, I'll be glad to clarify you further doubts.
