I had a friend that had her tubes tied and she had a little girl.
How can that be?

She had them cut and burned and I thought that was much more difficult...

getting pregnant after tubal sterilisation is a distinct possibility. Typically, tubal sterilisation has a failure rate of about 0.1-0.5%. this is usually due to incomplete occlusion of the tubes during the operation or due to the tubes rejoining after the operation.

My mom had it happen twice. First, about 29 years ago, after she had her twins bringing her to a total of 3 kids at 20 years old. She had her tubes tied. I don't think they clipped and burned them back then. About six years later, she got pregnant again. Her tubes had come untied. So she had two more kids in the space of two years bringing her total to five. She had her tubes tied again, I think around 20-21 years ago (I think that's how old my younger sister is...LOL)
Fast forward another seven years and my mom had two more sets of twins back to back within two years. She refused to have her tubes tied again. She said it didn't work, screw it. LOL
I know I had to sign a paper that said tubal ligation isn't 100%. I had mine done, and with my mom's history, I worry. But mine are cut and burned and I SAW the bits they cut out of me. They were over an inch long! If my tubes grow back after that, I guess I'm meant to have more than three kids! LOL

My doc told me there was a type of tubal that they were doing for a while where they would insert these small springs into the tubes. The springs would cause scarring and block the egg from coming down. Problem was the eggs had a mind of their own and if the scarring wasn't right the egg would slip through.
I'm getting my tubes tied this month after my c-section, I want them burned, tied, sautered, clipped and then some, you name it, no more pregnancy for me!

My sister's tubes "untied" themselves and she had a beautiful baby boy. If the operation did not include cauterization (burning the cut ends of the tubes) then it is possible for them to became untangled and release an egg into the uterus.

i have heard of it happening also...if the tubes are just tied and not clipped and burned, the tubes can come untied and an egg can make it to the uterus and then a pregnancy can occur...it just depends on how the tubes were done during the surgery

freak of nature. I know someone who conceived naturally with one tube removed and half of the other removed. Nobody knows why or how this happened, but it did and she is now blessed with a beautiful baby.
Either that or your friend may have had IVF when she realised she wanted another baby.
