Brief Answer:
Slight chance of pregnancy due to long duration of ligation
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thank you for getting back with the answers. I have gone through them.There is a slight risk of becoming pregnant after tubal ligation. This happens to about 5 out of 1,000 women after 1 year. After a total of 5 years following tubal ligation, about 13 out of 1,000 women can become pregnant. As 2 years have passed since tubal ligation so i would suggest you get serum Beta HCG levels followed by ultrasound pelvis. Further management will depend after getting the result of these tests.
Thank You
