About 2% of women who have their tubes tied will go on to get pregnant. Of those that get pregnant about 80% happens in the first 12 months after having the tubes tied. Basically, one of the tubes finds a way to reconnect itself to the uterus. Most pregnancies after a tubal are ectopic but some go on to produce a healthy baby.
After having a vasectomy he will not be cleared for unprotected sex until his semen can be tested to make sure there are no more sperm present--this usually takes 3-4 months but can take up to 6 months.

What is Tubal Ligation?
Tubal ligation, commonly knows as “getting your tubes tied,” is a surgical sterilization technique for women. This procedure closes the fallopian tubes, and stops the egg from traveling to the uterus from the ovary. It also prevents sperm from reaching the fallopian tube to fertilize an egg. In a tubal ligation, fallopian tubes are cut, burned, or blocked with rings, bands or clips. The surgery is effective immediately. Tubal ligations are 99.5% effective as birth control. They do not protect against sexually transmitted infections, including HIV/AIDS.
Vasectomy
Vasectomy is permanent birth control for men. It is a medical procedure that is intended to cause sterility. About 500,000 men in the U.S. choose vasectomy every year. It is chosen by men who have completed their families or by men who do not want children. These men want birth control that is intended to be permanent. They prefer vasectomy because most reversible methods are less reliable, sometimes inconvenient, and may have unpleasant side effects for the women in their lives. Vasectomy is nearly 100 percent effective. It is intended to be permanent. It is safe. It doesn't limit sexual pleasure.

The body has an incredible habit of trying to heal itself. Some percentage (maybe 1%?) of tubal ligations heal themselves spontaneously, so some women go on birth control, like the pill, even after a tubal. I believe in the case of a vasectomy, they recommend not having sex for a month, just to make sure the supply of sperm is completely gone.

I always am so surprised when I hear these stories. I tried unsuccessfully for years to get pregnant and finally after lots of money and many doctors I did. Some people do everthing possible not to get pregnant and do. Who knows why this stuff happens I guess it was meant to be. After a man gets a vasectomy he needs to get all the sperm that was made before the procedure out before he will be considered sterile.

Obviously she didn't have the complete procedure and her tubes healed themselves. It happens quite often when the tubes have only been cut and tied and not burned on all ends. As for a vasectomy...My dad had a vasectomy when I was a little over a year old. My mother had my sister (who was the spitting image of my dad growing up) When I was seven...Talk about a surprise pregnancy...LOL
