Yes it is possible to be pregnant, it is called a tubeal pregnancy, you need to go see you doctor, or you could have major problems. This is not something you need to ignore, or your life could be at risk. This is something that is very dangerous, so don't wait and dont be embarrased, this has happened to a lot of people.

First things first.........yes it is possible to be pregnant however if you were it would more likely be an ectopic pregnancy which could be dangerous. Also when you have your tubes tied it can cause irregularity in your cycle which can be made worse by stess and if you have a five month old baby and three others I am sure you have plenty of stress. Take a deep breath and send hubby to the store to get an EPT and take the test, if it comes out negative breathe easy and wait and see if after a week or so you still haven't started go to the doc if it comes back positive then call now. The doctor is not going to judge you hey it happens and you had tried to prevent it.

It is possible that your tying didn't take. When I had mine done the Dr told me there was a 1% chance that pregnancy could happen. However, having your tubes tied can indeed affect your menstrual cycle, mine was a little weird for about 3 months especially after having a child. The Dr will not think your crazy by the way. Get a pregnancy test if your really worried.

I don't think you can get pregnant if your tubes have been tied. But if you are then, yay, just think you get another bundle of joy. You could also sue the doctor, he said he tied you tubes. And obviously he didn't. You could get some major money from this. But seriously I don't think you are pregnant. Why don't you got to the store buy pregnancy tests and take a few to find out, or just go to your doctor, I wouldn't do that though. If you were wrong he might think your crazy, but if you were right then you could make him feel really dumb and maybe even lose his job. Just do what you want, and I wish the best of luck to you and your husband! + the four kids!

The odds of menstrual irregularity are greater than the odds of pregnancy. Are you nursing? Statistically, the odds of a tubal failing are about .2%. I doubt you are pregnant, but you could do a home pregnency test. The quality is pretty good nowadays. We stopped after two and have wished we'd had more. Hope it works out for you.

Yep, it can happen, I have a friend that got her tubes tied with her last child (hehehe) and 5 years later got pregnant with a little boy. he will be two in August.

Yes, it does not always work/keep.
Realy see your doctor there may be a serious complication which you need to have checked out.
Even if it is nothing, he won;'t mind, it is good and just part of the followup of the operation/birth.
You did everything to avoid #5, don't even consider being emberassed about being pregnant: THIS one is NOT YOUR FAULT!
