PREGNANT 7 YEARS AFTER TUBAL LIGATION

Hello I was wondering if anyone out there has ever gotten pregnant after a tubal ligation? I have had 5 children of my own and also have 3 step children all live with my husband and all all 15 down to 7. Last week I went to the doc for being sick and she decided to do a preg test she about fell over because it was pos. I couldnt believe it so that night I went out and bought a home test witch was pos as well. I went for a sonogram the next day and they didnt see anything they were worried about it being in my tube.. Thur they ordered a blood test and it was 0 the doc said I had a miscarriage. I am supposed to see a specialist and maybe have a HSG to see if tubes have reconnected somehow. I had my tubal done at 26 years old. I have read alot about people getting pregnant after tl done but I dont understand how that can happen the cut mine took a piece out and burnned them back so how could mine reconnect. I am scared of a eptopic and wondered if anyone has had a baby after this was done to them?

I had a tubal ligation (clips) may 2015 I found out late sept 2015 I'm expecting I'm now 22 weeks Prego .. I had no symptoms up until a few days after finding out  I was in my late first trimester actually a week being shy of my second trimester I never had a regular period and my last period was a few weeks before my procedure .. I actually went into the ER I had bad horrible abdominal pain I had previous problems with blood clotting in my uterus and cyst so I thought maybe it was happening they sent me to an ultrasound and sure enough a baby was on the screen with a string beating heart I was in shock I bout crapped my pants the doctors kept asking me if I was sure about my TL and assured them it wasn't that long ago and my scars were still fresh .. They looked as shocked as I was they said they've herd of getting Prego after the procedure but not as soon as I had conceived ( a month after my TL ) I followed up with my doc he was on disbelief also state I was extremely lucky baby was in my uterus and my chances for a tubal were high considering if had one in the past on the IUD he said in his 40 yrs of practice he's never had it happens to any of his patience or college after this one in going in for a cut and burn and my children's father is going in for a snip snip . We decided maybe if we both go under there won't be any more accidents

No answer. Just my own story. I had my tubal April 2002. Im 45. Cycles always like clock work. I was a late bloomer being I was 15 before cycle started. My mom had me at 43. No cycle since June 24. But I did spot just like with my son, Sept 8 or 9. Ive felt movement my husband has felt it. Just not sure if menopause symptoms r similar to pregnancy. I have the cravings and heartburn.

It is very possible to get pregnant after a tubal ligation.  Mine was done the day after my 3rd child in April of 2005. In dec 2010 found out i was pregnant, misscarried 2 days later. In march 2015 pregnant again, miscarriage in april, August 2015 pregnant again misscariage 2 weeks later. My lubal  ligation was done with a piece removed from each tube, then tied and carterized...
