If you are 41 and had your tubes tied 16 years ago what are the chances your are gonna get pregnant without a tubal reversal?
What are the chances you could concieve at this age even if you did have reversal surgery?
Is it possible to be pregnant for 3 or 4 months and not know it because you have been having normal periods or would the periods stop with pregnancy just like they do younger women?
How rare is it for a women to have a normal (red, heavy) period if she is pregnant for the first 3 or 4 months?
Do the chances of getting pregnant really drop after 40 like they claim?
I am thinking she wants another child but I am also thinking it aint gonna happen without tubal reversal and them it still may not.
Can anyone answer these questions so I can tell her some other opinions. Thanks

Chances of getting pregnant with tubal that has been successfully done. 0% Chance to concieve at that age with a reversal is fair you don't have to worry about not getting pregnant until the metapause thing hits. Yes women have been known to have periods thoughout their entire pregnancy. No it's not going to happen without a reversal because if it was done correctly they sealed the ends of the tubes by searing the flesh. Their ya go.

I would say the only way is to have reversal surgery. It is rare to have a period at all while pregnant. Yes your body would stop it the same as in a younger woman. The guide lines for pregnancy dose not change much with age. Yes the chances start to drop with age.

I'm 41 and had my tubes tied in 1993. I've been married since 1995 and have never used birth control since my tubal and have never gotten pregnant. I would think after all this time reversal probably wouldn't even work. The scar tissue builds up and I'm sure it would be pretty thick after 16 years.

Is it just American women that go on YA with questions to the whole world about their periods, pregnancy and other questions that only their doctor should be answering? I mean are you really going to make decisions and draw conclusions from what you read in YA? If so, you are just plain nuts.

one million. Really quite not going. two. Mediocre. Ligation reversal isn't one hundred%, and at forty one fertility is relatively reduced besides. She would have got to seem into IVF if she desires to conceive. three. Periods will have to quit with being pregnant irrespective of age. four. Really quite infrequent. five. Yes.

I normally don't do this, but can't you people, after you type this long, drawn out question just click on the "check spelling" box? Geez! And your answer, tell her to see her doctor.

This isn't a matter of "opinion". Your friend should consult a doctor.
