Can a woman get pregnant after family planning operation?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It is still possible to become pregnant after undergoing the procedure, but tubal ligation is usually highly effective. The surgery involves cutting and tying off the fallopian tubes to prevent an egg from entering the uterus. Undergoing tubal ligation increases the risk of ectopic pregnancy.

A 30-year-old woman who has undergone a family planning operation, commonly known as sterilization, generally has a very low chance of becoming pregnant. However, pregnancy is not impossible in some cases.
-
Type of Operation:
a. The most common family planning operation is tubal ligation, which blocks or seals the fallopian tubes to prevent eggs from reaching the uterus. -
Effectiveness:
a. Tubal ligation is highly effective, but there is a very small failure rate (less than 1%). -
Possibility of Pregnancy:
a. Rarely, the fallopian tubes can spontaneously reconnect, or the procedure might not have been fully effective, leading to a chance of pregnancy. -
Risks:
a. If pregnancy occurs after sterilization, there is a higher risk of ectopic pregnancy, which requires immediate medical attention. -
Reversal:
a. Some women consider tubal ligation reversal surgery, but success rates vary and depend on factors like age and the method used.
If you or someone you know is concerned about pregnancy after sterilization, consulting a gynecologist is important for personalized advice and evaluation.

View allI'm 45 days late and I've already done a few home pregnancy tests and even a blood pregnancy test within 30 days of missing my period, all of them were negative. The doctor gave me primolutn for 5 days, 3 times a day, and said I would get my periods in the next 5 days after finishing the pills, but it's been 9 days now and still nothing. I'm feeling really tired lately, my body aches, my breasts are super tender, and I've put on some weight that's not going away, plus lots of mood swings. I felt cramps a few times before I started the pills but no period or even spotting has happened yet, and I feel like I have a UTI because I'm peeing all the time. I'm supposed to see the doctor after I finally get my period for those day 2 tests. What's going on with me? Could I actually be pregnant even though the pregnancy tests are saying no?
It is possible to have a false negative pregnancy test, especially if the test is taken too early or not done correctly. However, considering your symptoms and the medications you have been taking, it is less likely that you are pregnant. Given your history of PCOD and the symptoms you are experiencing, it is possible that your delayed period and other symptoms could be due to hormonal imbalances related to PCOD. It is also possible that the medications you have been taking, such as Primolut-N, could be affecting your menstrual cycle.

I'm curious about something: I've got PCOD and my doctor told me to take Duphaston starting from the 16th day of my cycle for 10 days. I've been consistent with taking two tablets each day since day 16, but now it's been about six days since I stopped and I haven't gotten my period yet. There's no chance I'm pregnant since there wasn't any intercourse. Do you know what might be going on and what steps I should take next?

I'm experiencing swollen breasts for the past two weeks, and my periods are due on May 29th. I took a pregnancy test and it came back negative. Should I see a doctor? Is it possible to detect pregnancy before a missed period?
