My daughter was sterilised in January. She was feeling unwell so went to see her GP. She is 6 weeks pregnant. Has this happened to anyone else as I have never heard of it before.

She was sterilised after having an ectopic pregnancy. This will be her 7th child.

WillowGS. She had the same as you, both cut and clipped.

I have heard of this before. She needs to get good prenatal care as this puts her in a higher risk for ectopic pregnancy. I had a friend who got pregnant after she had her tubes tied, unfortunately she lost the baby. Best of luck to your daughter.

Doctors will never give a 100% guarantee,
It depends on the procedure used and as many opt for a tubal tie which can be reversed later, pregnancy afterwards is a lot more common than people realise. I think it's 1 in a hundred (not sure)The body itself can reject the ties depending on what is used.
In my own case as a further pregnancy would have been dangerous, I was not only tied but a section of the fallopian tubes were removed. This is irreversible and unlikely to result in a pregnancy, though even then Doctors would not give a 100% guarantee!
The only guaranteed method is Full hysterectomy which they only do in extreme cases or in older women.

It's not 100% guaranteed, so yes, it has happened before. About 1 in 200 women who have been sterilised will get pregnant if they use no other contraception.

i have asked to be sterillsed and have been told its not 100% something like 1 in 100 fall pregnant this is also the reason on the consent form there is a bit that reads along the lines of if it does not work the hospital are not to blame saves them being sued!!!
i hope your daughter is ok she obviously didn't want any more children it seems so unfair
good luck to you both

my friends sister got serialized 2yrs ago but earlier on this year she was also feeling unwell and it turned out she was 9weeks pregnant so yes it can happen they tell you that it isn't 100% when they do the procedure

It does happen although it's rare. I have an aunt that got baby #4 that way.

nothing is 100% effective so unless they took out both ovaries and her uterus then she still had a chance at pregnancy.

Yes it can happen, it's never 100% guaranteed.
